That tweet is just one stupid fool which I am sure all pro athletes learn to ignore whenever those kind of people open their filthy mouths.
I still feel that most every pro athlete would step up after a bit and simply state what happened from their perspective on the play. It's not like a bunch of fans are going to stone him. We aren't in Philadelphia.
For me, I am not interested in what others say to cover his rear end. And it's not that I want to rub it in, or have him relive the agony. Just want to know from his perspective what and how it could happen like that.
I suppose he doesn't owe us an explanation. But rather I feel most pro athletes would know fans want to know, out of curiosity if nothing else. How could such a weird thing happen at such an important juncture of the game? No other player or coach knows what he was thinking at the time, so anything they say is just their own imagination or something they would say to end the discussion and cover his back as good teammates do.
If he was on the old Johnny Carson show this week, the first thing Carson would say to him after showing the play for all to see again is (as he did Hugh Grant), "What the hell were you thinking?"
