Most of the time when an athlete says their social media account was hacked, they’re trying to cover up a dick pic. Ray Allen was the first to employ this excuse after sending a particularly naughty tweet back in 2009. A true trailblazer.
Put your dick away, Ray.
Anyway, let’s get back on track. Jimmy Garopollo allegedly posted an Instagram at 4 am this morning of an image from Super Bowl LI post-game victory celebrations, with the caption “So grateful for my time in New England. Peace out Boston.” Sources claim that there are no indications that Jimmy has been traded, thus leading us all to believe that Jimmy has actually been hacked.
Spoke to someone close to Jimmy Garoppolo who had no knowledge of any trade and believes it's a hack. Alas, it's 5:26 am now & we're all up

Source close to Jimmy G: No knowledge of any trade. Believes Instagram post (https://t.co/HfFqiAKyI1)
is hoax/hack that has set off frenzy.— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) March 10, 2017
The post has since been taken down, but not before Twitter had some good old fashioned fun.
2 years of waking up at 4am every day to check Jimmy Garoppolo's Instagram account finally paid off this morning.

I think we all know what to look for on Instagram if Jimmy Garoppolo is really headed to Cleveland. pic.twitter.com/w2ch3Raxb8

Not sure why people are skeptical about Garoppolo. Draymond Green gets hacked all the time. pic.twitter.com/72FceO5znN
