Chipper Jones, Danny Kanell trade barbs over Florida, FSU in social media feud
Chipper Jones and Danny Kanell are both outspoken users of social media. On Saturday, the two got into a squabble over college football.
It all started with Kanell taking a shot at Florida. After the Gators defeated No. 9 Ole Miss, Kanell trolled his old rival by “congratulating” UF on being the SEC’s version of the Kansas Jayhawks.
Jones is associated with the Peach State for his legendary Atlanta Braves career, but he is originally from the Sunshine State. He grew up in DeLand, Florida, about a 95-mile drive southeast of UF campus. Jones went off on Kanell’s Gator jab. He took aim at Kanell’s FSU career and post-playing days, also getting a little nasty.
Hey Danny….i say this with all due respect for ur mediocre career and even less mediocre career after throwing senseless picks at FSU……STFU! We know u hate the SEC, we get it. No need to pee in our corn flakes cuz ur on ur period! Congrats on Charleston Southern. https://t.co/kFkwJtfxMH

Jones used the block function of X (formerly Twitter) to keep Kanell’s mindless drivel from appearing on his timeline again. Kanell addressed Jones again, seeing that he had been blocked, taking more shots at Florida and calling the Hall of Fame 3rd baseman sensitive.
Wait…@RealCJ10 can chirp but won’t allow me a chance to congratulate him on his Florida Gators massive win to get to bowl eligibility??? Did you book your tickets to the Music City Bowl yet? pic.twitter.com/UsMFrlRXHa

It’s a big weekend for Kanell. His alma mater, Florida State, improved to 2-9 on the season with a 41-7 win over FCS Charleston Southern. It marked the first time this season that the Seminoles scored more than 21 points in a football game.
Florida and Florida State play on Saturday in Tallahassee to wrap up the regular season.
Danny Kanell isn’t relevant enough to even be in the same sentence as Chipper Jones
Amazing comment!
I wonder if Chipper Jones used steroids during his 1999 MVP season.
WTF!
Kannell is the biggest biased homer in the arena of sports talk. It’s amazing he can get away with his drivel against UF holding down a job as an analyst.
The most unprofessional jab yet.
And he always sounds like he is on the rag, so Chipper was correct in his assessment..
Kanell best be careful. The game hasn’t been played yet and he has already said in a CBS sports brodcast that he already expects a FSU victory. Your team is 2-9 and your assuming they will take down a team that just took down the number nine team in the country.my money would be on UF. They are rolling now and can’t see them losing the momentum they have created to take in to the early signing period and the end of the regular season. Maybe Danny boy is a little butt hurt over UF getting a few of FSU’s recruits to flip after the disaster of a season in Tally.
Dawgtime, Kanell depends on his ability to create controversy to get clicks. In other words he has no talent to add value to his body of work. He’s another fsu graduate staying true to the clown college mentality of showmanship over substance.
Once a piss-ant always a piss-ant wandering around in the Half Ass U puddle of piss.
Florida is going to crush FSU
Yes we are!
Kanell is just upset that we’re about to go into Tally and peel off the top half of their 2025 recruiting class. Go Gators!
So if UF is the Kansas of the SEC, what does that make FSU? The Utah of the ACC going 1-7 in conference? FSU played 3 ranked teams and lost them all. UF’s losses have been to all top 15 teams. Can’t wait for next weekend
FSU is like a wounded animal, cornered in their den. I would prefer to see the Gators go into Doak prepared and humble. They will get a real fight from the Holes, at least early.
Considering how delusional Kanell is I’d guess that he was gaga ;) the Gators may only have 6 wins playing an extremely difficult schedule, but that is worlds away from 2-9 playing that kind of schedule. Does he realize how dumb he sounds making those comments??
