Much ado about tweeting

New Redskins QB Chase Daniel has twittered about his NFL dreams coming true, an egg white diet, wearing a Skins hat in Cowboy country, and landing in D.C. en route to Redskins Park. He even made friends before arriving in the DMV area, getting into a draft-day Twitter spat with local WJFK radio personality, Chad Dukes.

Now what went down between the two CDs didn't involve abrasive insults, mama jokes, or even come close to the dozens. The innocent tiff started with a misunderstanding and ended with Chase Daniel singing 'Hail to the Redskins', with, of course, Dukes unapologetically pandering for ratings and an appearance by Daniel on the Big O & Dukes Show.

Haven't a clue about Twitter? Don't worry, you can read the exchange between the two below, which pretty much amounts to the gasoline fight scene from Zoolander, except without gasoline. Just remember kids, if you want to talk about something like an adult, you evidently do it behind the microphone, and not within the 140 character constraints of Twitter.
