Former New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford, a man who mocked Eagles fans by crappily Photoshopping his jersey on the Rocky statue, recently got kicked out of a Planet Fitness in New Jersey for breathing too heavily and conducting himself like a terrible bro.
Last week, in a post on Instagram, Weatherford explained that among the 1,000+ gyms he's trained at, he's never before been asked to "tone it down" (or not grunt like a wildebeest in brutal distress). Check him out.
Weatherford, who played one game for the Jets in 2015, was apparently sent packing because of the no "Gymtimidation" policy at Planet Fitness. Basically, they don't want people going out of their way to show up regular patrons who are just trying to get in a judgment-free workout, as co-owner Pete Hopkins recently spelled out in an interview with Plante Moran.
The ex-Giant, now a free agent, angered Eagles fans last offseason when he went on the radio and trashed Chip Kelly and the stable of Eagles quarterbacks on the roster at the time. Jason Kelce shrugged it off like a champ.
Of course a player who is literally not allowed to be touched is talking shit... Is interviewing punters a thing now? @Weatherford5

Then, in October, Weatherford again dissed the Eagles by tweeting a photo of the banners along the rafters at the Linc, even though his claim to fame is Kyle Williams getting butterfingers twice and the Giants capitalizing on completely avoidable turnovers.

Weatherford's Instagram post elicited thousands of comments, but none beat this one:
"Stop being a f------- narcissist and just workout and shut your trap..and this coming from a giants fan."
Anyway, Weatherford's golden foot could stand to sign with his mouth in 2016.
