FiveThirtyEight editor-in-chief Nate Silver took to Twitter in attempt to tak a shot at the Red Sox on Twitter but things didn’t go very well when he attempted to use the “distracted boyfriend” meme. Silver feutured Bray and Belichick is his meme but also unintentionally included Henry Richard, the brother of Martin Richard, who was killed in the Boston Marathon bombing.

Anybody who knows @NateSilver538 might want to tell him a dopey meme with somebody from the Richard family is in extremely poor taste.
