Jerry Rice and Warren Sapp, Special Trending Units

Since I was away from the Internet most of the day Wednesday I was surprised as lots of people who saw Jerry Rice and Warren Sapp trending on Twitter, for no apparent reason. Maybe it serves us right to be so uninformed, or maybe we’re just not following the right news breakers. Anyway, I was not alone in my confusion. Apparently there are plenty of folks out there now who look to see what’s “trending” before they go and consult some of that heavy-load Internet stuff, like Google.

Of course some people immediately assumed the worst:

Warren Sapp is trending. I hope he got arrested for something stupid.

And then there were some with more vivid imaginations:

Saw Warren Sapp and Jerry Rice trending at the sane time and I though Warren and done eat Jerry or something.

Of course you could just go to Jerry Rice (@JerryRice) or Warren Sapp (@QBKILLA) on Twitter to find out what really was going on:

Make sure you catch me & Warren Sapp (@) TONIGHT on Law & Order SVU, at 10pm on NBC (@) #SVU

Yes Zirr. RT @: Ain’t QBKILLA on svu tonight

So no, nobody ate nobody and nobody drove a slow Ford Bronco anywhere. We’re not big SVU fans but apparently enough of the world is to get the former players trending. Anyway.

And the the GOAT pulled the NFL Countdown catch phrase on a follower:
