Some Twitter Football Fun to Start Your Weekend
By E.C. Mercer
College Football is back!! And, the NFL will be in full force next week. So, to get you started on your viewing journey, I thought I’d simply let you read some of what I thought were the best Football Tweets of the week, including the now Infamous Kent State Wrong Way Play, Craig James being history, Robert Kraft praising Tebow (not Really), Dick Vitale grousing about ticket prices and the general enthusiasm of College Football being back. Enjoy.

Dear NFL,
Thank you for your letter to fans on player safety & the integrity of the game. Now can the refs please come back to work?
Thanks

Let’s not get hung up on the particulars, can’t we just be excited that a Kent State player ran for 58 yards?#GoFlashes

My thought is, the Kent State dude who ran the wrong way was just confused, but what explains all those Towson guys chasing him?

Robert Kraft says Brady is the best QB ever, but later realized he was excluding Tebow and apologized
