VIDEO: Panthers' Eric Reid Takes Shot at His Brother Justin Ahead of Matchup With Texans
By Chris Russo
Charlotte a is definitely not the city of brotherly love, if Eric Reid's words are any indication. The Carolina Panthers safety is bringing the heat when it comes to his matchup this week with the Houston Texans...because he's going head-to-head with his brother Justin.

Eric Reid (@E_Reid35) says it doesn't matter what jersey his parents wear when he faces his brother (@jreid_viii) in Houston because, "I know who is going to win. He's never beaten me at anything so we're not starting now."@Panthers | @HoustonTexans pic.twitter.com/9Y414zd42i
Whoever says "sheesh" near the end of that video really takes the words out of everyone else's mouths. It's quite harsh. The first part about who's going to win seems kind of playful and all in good fun, but Eric takes a big turn after that.
Justin did strike back on Twitter because he wasn't having any of that.

Though this case is a little more friendly (at least at first), this is not the first time Eric has gotten in a Twitter war. New England Patriots tight end Ben Watson and he had a little bit of beef during the preseason.
Justin also has some history of Twitter beef, though he might not be able to exercise his demons, at least not anytime soon.
It's just a shame we won't see these guys on the field at the same time since they both play defense.
