    About a month ago, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio took a jab at Packers practice squad quarterback Kurt Benkert on Twitter. Benkert fired back in the most witty of ways, leading to a social media battle. Last night, a Tweet made by Pro Football Talk reignited the social media feud:

    Good news: Kurt unblocked us.
    Bad news: Kurt unblocked us. https://t.co/bWsmvdE0hl

    The quoted Tweet by Kurt Benkert was a joke about a speech made by President Joe Biden. In response to the Tweet, Benkert returned with the following:

    Happy to help a guy like you get his impressions up on a slow night pic.twitter.com/AYtWnfVnPe

    — Kurt Benkert (@KurtBenkert) December 4, 2021

    He also clarified the joke:

    If you haven’t figured out by now, this was a joke clearly aimed at Biden’s voice. I will add for clarification that I do not think Biden is AI controlled. Nor was this an attack on Biden’s character, integrity, or anything of the like. This is Twitter, where we are free to meme.

    A New Player in the Battle

    For some reason, Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports decided to enter the playing field, too.

    Yikes. https://t.co/ezciiGSN6u

    And of course, Benkert was not backing down:

    A two part story.
    Part 1: My Joke about AI goes right over his head because he thinks I’m serious, & has to make a comment about how I fit in with “people in Wisconsin” — whatever he means by that.
    Part 2: He looks up AI to see what’s out there.
    Can’t make this up 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/GT91K7x2U1

    Moral of the story: do not mess with Kurt Benkert on Twitter. It may also be unwise to mess with Benkert on a Bye Week. Listen, he may not be on the active roster, but Benkert is such a fun personality to have with the team. In addition to being a great teammate, he boosts local businesses and interacts with fans on social media. No one has had a bad interaction with him [excluding Florio and Robinson]. Here’s hoping the Packers keep him around for a while.
