It looks like we may have reached the final chapter of the Steve Weatherford trash talk saga. After Eagles center Jason Kelce publicly ripped Weatherford on Twitter Monday morning, the New York Giants punter responded with the following message:
Did u even read the my quotes? Or did u generate ur opinion based upon the headline? (Continued) @Jkelce

Ur smarter than that don't let some1 tell u your opinion. I was complimentary of all 3 QBs. Nothing but respect. @Jkelce @Jkelce

@Jkelce Don't be like everyone else and allow an unreliable journalist tell your opinion... Form it yourself.
— Steve Weatherford (@Weatherford5) June 29, 2015
@Jkelce to you, your team & fans: My apologies if it was taken offensively. I was not my intention or goal. Nothing but respect.

Weatherford also appeared on 97.5 The Fanatic to further explain himself:
Steve Weatherford: "I 100% can see how you can take offense to that, but that is not the way I meant it."

Steve Weatherford: "I think Chip Kelly is doing a wonderful job. You guys crushed us last year."

Weatherford "When you have a QB like E. Manning, I would prefer that he takes the snaps for my team over Tebow. I'm not taking shots at Tim"

Nice backpedaling there, Steve. Nick Foles would be proud.
