Professional athletes: they're human just like you! Except they're better athletes. Still human tho.

And that's just what Eagles corner back Ronald Darby is set to do after the Eagles eeked out a win on Sunday over the Giants in which he did not play particularly well (In his defense, he did come up with a pretty crucial interception of Eli Manning).
Darby took to Twitter today to put the fans who criticized him and the Eagles on notice. The Loyal Ones are okay though. "Loyalty Over Everything" as one ex-Process member used to say.

He also called out the media... I'm not sure for what exactly. Probably posts like this one pointing out what happened.
This wouldn't be the first time an Eagles player went on a blocking spree. Brandon Graham famously blocked anyone who said anything negative about him a couple of years back before he flourished into a stud on the D-Line. He even went so far as to block people who favorited those negative things said.

Graham would later say he may have had an itchy trigger finger.
So, speak about Ronald Darby's play on the field with caution on Twitter if you want to be able to follow his gameplan off of it.
