So remember how Jets wide receiver used Twitter to tell a fan to kill himself? Well, he’s using the Shaggy defense:
I want to talk about that Twitter thing. I don’t know exactly what happened, someone hacked into my account and went stupid crazy on my Twitter page. I just want to let the fans know that wasn’t me. I definitely want to apologize to anyone who was offended, but it wasn’t me. A guy with the team got in touch with someone from Twitter and took my page down so they could delete all those messages and change my password. So I have cancelled my Twitter account for now.
Wow. This is worse than “my dog ate my homework.” I know that Twitter accounts get hacked from time to time (how, I have no idea), but I don’t think David Clowney is high on the list of athletes who would be targeted for a hack. I mean, would you even know who David Clowney was if not for this article? You’re welcome.
What really happened here is that someone with the Jets was smart enough to take Twitter away from Clowney.
Just to get an idea of how ridiuclous it is, imagine using Clowney’s type of excuse in your life. That wasn’t really me who rear-ended you, someone cut my breaks. I wasn’t drinking in public, somone was forcing alcohol down my throat. I didn’t get her pregnant, someone poked holes in the condom. Alright, maybe that last example shows that Clowney may have the right idea after all.
