Kyle Pitts 'retaliates' on social media to Kentucky LB's pregame 'disrespect'
Kentucky defenders did a lot of talking heading into Saturday’s game against Florida. The Gators pass-catchers took notice and haven’t shied away from getting the last laugh.

Kentucky linebacker J.J. Weaver boldly stated – in third-person – that Pitts hasn’t faced a defender of his caliber.
“Kyle Pitts is most definitely going to see me this week,” Weaver told reporters, per Jon Hale of the Louisville Courier Journal. “We’ve just got to be more physical than him.
“He is a great player. He’s going to get up and jump, but he’s just never had J.J. Weaver on him before.”
Pitts got the better of Weaver and the Wildcats defense with 5 catches for 99 yards and 3 touchdowns. The standout tight end called out Weaver in a Sunday social media post.
“I tried to be humble but, no disrespect without retaliation…” Pitts wrote.
The retaliation was tagging Weaver in a photo of Pitts making a catch against the UK linebacker’s coverage:
Weaver certainly had a response coming with third-person bulletin-board material for one of college football’s best players. Hopefully, Pitts was unaware of the awful news that Weaver reportedly has a torn ACL when he did his social media dunking.
Feel bad for weaver getting hurt, but he needs to thank MR. Pitts for the lesson in humility.
Yea, this reminds me of the FLORIDA SAFTEY THAT RAN HIS MOUTH ABOUT JAKE FROMM. Something about anyone can throw a slant. Then Chancey Gardener got his jorts knocked in his watch pocket. As the talking heads known as the gators who UGA COULDNT BEAT. Walked off with their heads hung low. AFTER LOSING 42-7!!!! In rout to 3 straight losses.
PS. Remember it all well. Because it starts again next season!!!! LOL AT FLORIDA.
King Negan
He must be feeling so embarrassed when he’s starting in the NFL and Jake is on the bench.
The dawg nation is all about next year or this is the the year. Remind me again when was the last time the dawgs got a National Championship, nevermind you may not be old enough to remember. In my earlier days it was all about the hate of FSU and still is for me, but you jawga folks have made up for it in the past twenty years. Go Gators!
PS: Has anyone BEAT the dawgs like he Gators did when we played them between the hedges? just asking for a friend
Megan, is just coming out of his shell from the arse kicking the Gators put on his beloved Kirby and puppies. His dream of puppies dominance is shattered.
Megan, now that’s funny…
Dang it bro you are one dumb puppy
Shut your mouth you ugly dog. You kick barking and we will kick you i the mouth too!! We already kicked your useless british bulldog ass!! LOL You should go back to your sniffing dog habits,LOL
You May Want To take some of your own advice King , humility can do a body good . Let’s let the play on the field speak for itself, remember the MR years ??? it sounds like you spend a lot of time living in the past. but i do remember south carolina kickin that A-s , you do remember that game right ???
44-28
Kyle, I think your play on the field spoke very well for you. Best of luck to Weaver on his recovery. Sorry to hear he was injured.
Injured to? That makes it perfect. Chauncey Gardener got injured after running his mouth and losing to UGA 42-7!!!!!! LOL
PS. Gators invented trash talk!!!!!
King Negan
Megan, you lost big time. Excuses and accusations that are infantile isn’t going to make a difference. Just try and enjoy the rest of your season.
I said stop barking! Are you deaf too? You know what happens to dogs that don’t obey their owners? Don’t make me punish you..go back into your crate and cork it.
I see King is as gracious in defeat as ever.
And he’s stating that the Gators run their mouths a lot, and talking bout things that happened 3 years ago. Maybe 3 years from now someone can remind him of the stupidity that vomits out of his mouth.
Get back in your crib KING CRY BABY. Must have found your mother’s password for the parental controls.Im a dawg fan but have to use this one on you 44-28 Chump
Thank you Dawgtime, but i doubt it will be effective. He has a million dollar mouth and 10 cent brain.
Tell me why anyone on a 3-6 team is talking smack about any opponent.
I wasn’t mad at it. Kentucky did beat Florida last time they played in the swamp. I respect them trying to maintain a level of confidence knowing that it is possible to beat Florida.
He tried to be humble? All of the celebrating and mocking on the field was not enough so he needed to reach out on social media to troll a guy with a torn acl. Mr. Pitts you are no better than Mr. Weaver in regards to humility and maturity.
This falls on Stoops again. In previous years his teams were humble and hungry but now I see a team that is lacking discipline on and off the field. Unproven players like Weaver and Joseph running their mouths when they’re 3-5. Get it together coach, the offense is embarrassing enough.
Ya I remember Kash being a very classy player for UK last year vs UF
Of course he is better than Weaver…he didn’t run his mouth..he actually beat the barking juvenile…he has every right to teach him a lesson since your coach seems not to be able to.
This sht is so stupid
So quit looking at it
Giving the other team some bulletin board material is not ever a good thing…especially a player with the kill set that Kyle Pitts has.
skillset
It’s like talking trash to any of Alabama’s recievers
…or for that matter, talking trash to ANY Bama player. It’s not likely going to work well for you. Respect your opponent and let your play do your talking. If you’re fortunate, things will work out. If you’re not fortunate enough to win, you don’t look like an idiot.
Kill set works too, he’s slaying it out there.
And he should.
