After Thursday’s events, we all could use a bit of comic relief.
Jeremy Lane and the wonderful world of Twitter were happy to oblige.
The Seattle Seahawks cornerback raised a lot of eyebrows while discussing Super Bowl XLIX on Thursday with his bold claim that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski isn’t that good.
As in, the Rob Gronkowski who led all tight ends in 2014 with 1,124 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.
Since Lane’s comments are blatantly false, 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Toucher and Rich” decided to start a #ThingsJeremyLaneSays hashtag with a few other non-truths the Seahawks’ backup might believe.
Suffice it to say, Twitter took it from there.
