Even the best get got and in the case of ESPN, it happened to the Worldwide Leader today. That’s because ESPN fell for a fake Jay Glazer tweet and reported it on NFL LIVE, which probably has the FOX Sports host and NFL insider grinning from ear to ear with laughter.
The entire segment was based on Olivier Vernon signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the problem was? Oliverier Vernon never signed with the Jags.
Oops.
It’s okay, ESPN. Fake profiles and NFL free agency has everybody in a frenzy.
