Eagles defensive lineman Bennie Logan was embroiled in a brief but troublesome Twitter exchange with a fan on Tuesday, that ended with the fan making a veiled threat with a gun and, in the end, claiming he lost his job because Logan had called the police.

After Logan posted a message asking fans to check out a new line of hats, the fan tweeted that, instead of hawking hats, Logan should be concentrating on improving his play.

The back-and-forth escalated quickly, and ended abruptly.

Warning: Strong language is used.

The fan later tweeted that Logan and the Eagles had called the police and he had lost his job:

The Eagles said that they were aware of the situation, but had no comment.

Overall, it's pretty clear Logan would have been better off not responding -- especially considering how quickly it escalated.
