For me, it’s the stat line — or lack of stats by Parker Barrineau that make the tweet so dumb.
The Alabama wide receiver took to twitter after the Crimson Tide’s 43-37 loss to the Rebels, to let fans know that the college football playoffs were still on the horizon, regardless of the loss.
Right after a loss is probably not the best time to talk trash… http://t.co/uM1TXmQn8j pic.twitter.com/juQSbzjMi8

Talking trash after a game is fine, even after a loss, but you can’t after you deliver a two catch, 16-yard performance.
Barrineau deleted the tweet and apologized.
I apologize. I sent out an emotional tweet at an emotional time. Hats off to Ole Miss. They have a great team and played a heck of a game.
