Don't troll Matt Barkley on Twitter.
That's the lesson to be learned after a UCLA Bruins fans tried to troll the former USC and current Eagles quarterback. The fan was calling out Barkley for having a bad arm, comparing his accuracy to that of a terrible ceremonial first pitch thrown by rapper 50 Cent at a recent Mets game.
Here's how it all started:
This reminds me of @MattBarkley trying to throw a football. https://t.co/JWaKtaDVtq

See, that's just unnecessary. If you want to make a joke at Barkley's expense, that's your right. But tagging his handle to ensure he sees it is another thing. Barkley had no problem dealing with this, though:
.@UCLA_Nation how funny, your tweet reminds me of me throwing a football too! http://t.co/TKxso6RAWX

Got him.
This is hardly the first time Barkley has displayed his ability to deal with Twitter trolls. Check out this tweet from last year:
@AdamSchefter yeah, because my signature has changed. Duhhhh #thanksforthecommentaryAdam

So, like I said, just don't troll Matt Barkley on Twitter. He'll leave you as the one looking foolish.
