This piling on it superb. I hope it lasts for days.

Apparently the NFL CAN quickly address false information released to the public.

This is horrible news. Absolutely horrible.

(The horrible news, of course, being that this is all a hoax and not legit)

Best news of the off-season!

 

[The Gr8est]

Agreed. I read an article on it that said the hacked tweet was up for 5 minutes before it was taken down but got 600 likes.

If hes at Jim Kelly's golf outing maybe he reprised the role of Chubbs Peterson and lived...

My Dear Friends,

It has been a while since I have had the opportunity to write to you and I figured this was the time to rekindle my correspondence with you.

It was me.

Yes, I feel somewhat dirty as a proper Midwestern gal like me shouldn't be doing these things. My dear husband, Gen Luck, is still in discomfort and mentally he is a work in progress. Last campaign took a major toll on the love of my life. I was so disapointed in how President Irsay did nothing to help my poor husband, I knew I had to do something to cheer up my northern friends as he and I are in misery. So I hitched up the horse to our buggy and went into town to see this new computer thing. I had someone point me to our greatest enemies personal website on a thing called Twitter. It said login and password an the lady said to put my info there. I wanted to post a message to the world! I just wasn't sure how.

Since I was new to this it took me some time....and more time...I was starting to lose hope. Then it hit me. A passcode or password....whatever it is, is generally personal! On my lord, I have it.

Login: NFL
Password: GingersRocks69

I got in! Good heavens I got in! This was glorious. So I sent a messsge to you and the world!

You know the rest and I may send more messages now that I have this new access to communication. It is almost time for the next glorious campaign and I fear for my beloveds health. I hope this may have given you some hope and cheer! I must watch myself now, for the Ginger has his evil doers everywhere!


With my dearest regards,

Abigaile

Inquiry into the Patriots starting tomorrow for hacking and death threats.

Loss of the entire 2017 draft and fined 1 billion dollars

I'm hearing from a source at the nearby Gas & Go that the punishment would be one of the following :
Death, relocation to the island where Tom Hanks was stranded, or relocation to wherever Kensil was relocated.

See, these hackers need to smarten up. If you really want to cause chaos, post a tweet that is easily believable and not something people would look to immediately verify.

Any news on Generalissimo Francisco Franco?

 

[Koma]

I'm not sure how accurate this was, but I remember reading, a couple years ago, that some owners were concerned with the amount of booing directed at Goodell during the draft. What will they think now, when news of his death generates a positive reaction.

Also, the hacker could have sent out any message when they had access to the Twitter account. They could have said the Raiders were moving to San Antonio, revealed the Redskins new logo/name or that Aaron Rodgers will be suspended for the 2016 season. Everything was on the table and they decided claiming that Goodell was dead would be the best use of this opportunity.

I'm really saddened by this news.

Hopefully it isn't true and services will be held for him later this week.

Just checking on some technicalities here, but if the services consisted of pouring holy water on his corpse, would that be considered to be a cremation equivalent?

What is so crazy to me is how the NFL app has a 2.5/5 star rating on iTunes. I don't have it but it doesn't shock me the NFL puts out second rate products.
