Since U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman ruled to nullify Tom Brady’s four-game suspension Thursday, we’ve seen all sorts of reactions from around the league.
But few managed to accomplish as much in one tweet as Lawrence Tynes.
The former New York Giants kicker, who won two Super Bowls at the expense of the New England Patriots in 2007 and 2011, expertly trolled both the Patriots and the NFL on Thursday in less than 140 characters.

Touché, Lawrence.
Not only did the 37-year-old needle Roger Goodell and the NFL for completely botching Brady’s case, he also served Patriots fans with an unpleasant reminder of the Giants’ two huge wins over New England in the big game.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Tynes has used a similar dig. After the Patriots’ rout of the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship Game, the kicker sent out a not-so-subtle reminder New England had yet to win a Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.
Fortunately for Patriots fans, Brady and Co. rectified that situation, and Brady’s win in federal court Thursday should be good enough to allow New England to ignore the haters once again.
