Remember the first rule of Twitter: never tweet.
2016, like every year since the Twitter became a thing, provided us with many awful tweets. Here are the worst of them.
Body shaming? Bold play.
Sure.
Really hoping the odds and ends of Ohio State recruiting are wrapped up before The Bachelor tonight. I need to focus.

How'd this one play out for you, Baker?
@KirkHerbstreit I know you are going to have trouble picking the winner when your beloved Buckeyes come to Norman in the fall #ButWeKnow

Vape jokes are the new Harambe jokes.
The Blue Jackets' invasion of Canada continues. 4-1 win at Calgary. #CBJ 19-5-4. Put that in your vape and smoke it.

Great call, Twitter scout.
The Chargers taking a fat L draft Bosa 3rd overall sat out all offseason and the man ain't even play his 1st game yet. BUST

Why so angry?
So Trevor Bauer is an irresponsible child who jeopardized his team's chance to win by playing with a toy, and it was never cute or funny.

Idea: Let Cowboys fan coach this team (to a 2-14 season).
#DallasCowboys fans want Alfred Morris to start over Ezekiel Elliott at RB -- by a wide margin. Cast your vote here https://t.co/U2oPCRNAyZ pic.twitter.com/XjcdaZBL9B

Another hot scouting take.
Based on the evidence, I've tentatively grown more interested in Braxton Miller than his OSU teammate Michael Thomas. More diverse skillset.

Still with this?
I have to write a huge story for the morning and Bachelor in Paradise is on tonight. Not a good look for me.

Ohio State twitter is worried about Michigan, flat out.

When you know you shouldn't tweet something but try to hedge:
Not sure why Jared Goff's tiny hands are a concern. In my experience, smaller hands are preferable because they make...wait, never mind.

#WellActually, Penn State got both injured linebackers back for this game and they combined for 31 tackles.
Ohio State running this offense against a team with no linebackers makes you think: What is the point of caring about anything, really

Local man has bad opinions. A lot of them.

Still angry?
Why are we obsessed with guys hurdling defenders when it only gains them like an extra half yard? I'll take a broken tackle.
