Oct 3, 2011

Turns out that professional athletes are just like all of us: On Sundays in fall they too enjoy posting on the couch and watching the NFL all day.

Most of the insight of the day came from the Detroit Lionsโ€™ thrilling comeback victory over the Dallas Cowboys, showing tweets of excitement from Michigan natives, tweets of awe for Calvin โ€œMegatronโ€ Johnson and tweets of disappointment from Cowboys fans.

Hereโ€™s what the pros had to tweet about while watching that game, as well as many others around the NFL.
