Lions Mikel LeShoure magically tweets minutes after being carted off field with serious injury

Lesson number one in how not to handle your Twitter account? Letting other people tweet for you minutes after you’ve been carted off the field with an injury.

Thus was the case today with Detroit Lions running back Mikel LeShoure who suffered a leg injury during practice. Moments after several insiders tweeted the injury, LeShoure’s own Twitter account was updated with this.

Now obviously, LeShoure was not writhing in pain on a training table with phone in hand tweeting. No, it was more than likely the work of his PR team. A team that failed miserably at what I can only presume to be their one important task of the day.

As a general rule, you should probably make sure your client has functioning limbs before sending out tweets for them.

What'd you think of this?
