Eric Weddle and the #ELISUCKS Phenomenon

On Sunday the Twitterverse was teeming with Charger Fans attaching the tag, #ELISUCKS, to any and every statement about the Bolts/Giants clash. It was quite gratifying to see so many Bolt Backers bringing a level of fan hatred that is all too frequently missing in America's Finest City. Hate is a fundamental component of following sports so if yo' soul is lacking in vitriol......YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Having said that, this Twit's favorite Tweet was sans an #ELISUCKS tag.....


"Who's the Boss? Eric Weddle!"
See that Tweet was hilarious because the Chargers were playing in New York and that's where Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano of the '80s hit sitcom, Who's the Boss, were from. Alright.....that's false and more of an excuse to insert gratuitous YouTube footage.......

For those lacking a keen eye (see: employees of ESPN, specifically Keyshawn Johnson) the player that Eric Weddle disintegrated upon impact was Giants TE Kevin Boss hence the extremely clever play on words revolving around a teenage crush on an 80s sitcom star*. BOOM......he's on his back!**


* Didn't everyone have a crush on Alyssa Milano? Did you know she's a Dodger fan and a serial Tweeter?
** Man am I avoiding any sort of serious analysis regarding Sunday's game. I'll leave it to the Charger Fan in Donkey Land.
