Super Bowl Tweet-down into Big Game weekend

Well played,Ben Zemanski.

TheChivas USAmidfielder has upped the stakes in Super Bowl Tweet-down with Jay DeMerit as the Big Game gets closer and closer.

Zemanski, Ohio-raised but Pittsburgh-born, has been taking on Green Bay native DeMerit in a contest of trash talk on Twitter all week– and for the most part, looked like he had been getting one-upped by theVancouver Whitecapsdefender.

READ:Day 2 of the Jay vs. Ben Super Bowl Tweet-down

That is, until Zemanski threw in the dirtiest words there are in Packerville: Brett Favre. DeMerit hasn’t backed down, and has even dealt in some of his friends from the US national team, such as fellow World Cup veterans Jozy Altidore and Herculez Gomez.

And it’s just gotten more surreal, as the guys have name-dropped “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Lil Wayne, B.J. Novak fromThe Office– and insulted each others’ facial hair (and lack thereof).

Be sure to keep following the (friendly?) war of words on Twitter with the hashtag#MLSsoccerbowl. And be sure to follow@D6MERITand@zmnsk21.

Here are some highlights of the latest Ben vs. Jay banter:
