In anticipation of Super Bowl LI, Jimmy Kimmel Live! assembled a crop of NFL stars to read some pretty cruel (and cruelly funny) statements about themselves in a new edition of the popular segment “Mean Tweets.”
The segment features the likes of Odell Beckham Jr., Tony Romo, J.J. Watt, Russell Wilson and Rob Gronkowski.
You can watch Wilson read this insult:
I'm tired of people saying Russell Wilson is too short to play quarterback. He's ugly, too
— Shaolin Nuggtastic (@drnugget) August 18, 2013
And you can watch Rob Gronkowski read—and respond—to this one:
Rob Gronkowski is one of the dumbest people in the world. I have no problem tweeting this because he probably can't read it.
— Mike (@Super_Strat) November 3, 2014
Some of the people whose tweets were featured on the segment have responded to their newfound infamy. The person responsible for dissing Gronk has apparently drawn the ire of New England Patriots fans:
I have a bunch of angry people from Boston tweeting at me now
— Mike (@Super_Strat) February 3, 2017
And then there’s this guy, who manages a dig at Houston Texans fans but may or may not regret messing with J.J. Watt:
JJ WATT READ MY TWEET FROM 2013 ON JIMMY KIMMEL AND PROBABLY WANTS TO KILL ME NOW
— Kyle (@MileHighKyle27) February 2, 2017
I can tell Texans fans don't exist because I've only had one person say something to me about my JJ watt tweet
