After a season of putting its foot in its mouth at ever possible moment, the NFL is here to let you know that the 2015 season will be more of the same.
Just look at this soon to be deleted tweet.
Those are the words of NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks in this video, which whatever. He was on live TV and was clearly, clearly talking about Jameis Winston’s escapability and ability to extend plays in the pocket. In that, he said Winston was Roethlisberger-esque. He clearly meant nothing by it.
But man, if you are the person running the NFL’s social media, you would think to take any other quote from that video, instead of the one that compares one person who has been accused of one rape to another person who has been accused of two.
That’s just common sense.
Here’s the tweet while it’s still up.
"He’s like a Big Ben Roethlisberger in the pocket… should translate very, very well to NFL.” http://t.co/yT4dU5IcAv pic.twitter.com/OnQoYXKD9U
