Once burned on Twitter, Cardale Jones certainly isn’t shy.
The quarterback who came out of nowhere to lead Ohio State to the national championship in January has had a busy 24 hours posting tweets.
First he cheered on his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the NBA playoffs Wednesday night. During a timeout, he and several Ohio State teammates were introduced at Quicken Loans Arena and Jones told the crowd that he wanted LeBron James and his teammates to bring “another championship to Ohio.”
While Jones was speaking on the arena microphone, Chicago Bulls forward Joakim Noah reportedly could be seen saying, “You ain’t in the SEC.”
Uh, those are fighting words for the Buckeyes, who have heard a lot of putdowns over the years because they play in the Big Ten, which at least before the Buckeyes’ title run was often perceived to be inferior to the Southeastern Conference with Alabama, Auburn, Florida and others.
Noah, by the way, went to Florida.
Told of the insult, Jones tweeted that Noah should “watch yo mouth before I give you these hands chump.”
He also vowed that he would be at Noah’s “neck the rest of the series for that comment.”
