As to the rest - who cares. Dude is a grown ass man tweeting his way out of a fat pay day; let him **** around and find out. If the talking heads and internet take umbrance with it, that's their problem.

Sure its not originally Hamlin's thing, but the timing is interesting. Evaluating intent is always going to be situational. We just played the bills, Hamlin was making that emoji with his hands during the game, and Eli uses it in a tweet in which he is trolling the Bills. It doesn't seem to be much of a stretch that Eli was referencing Hamlin, but I am not gonna pretend to know exactly what Eli's intent was. However, I would hardly call that mental gymnastics. Even if Eli wasn't referencing Hamlin at all, its pretty easy to mistake that he was. I mean, his obvious goal here is to troll the Bills, so why wouldn't people think that is a Hamlin reference? Context is kind of important. If you are a bartender and someone holds up two fingers, do you assume they want two of something? Or do you think they are flashing the 'peace sign'? Also, believe it or not, not everyone knows Overwatch characters lol.

Honestly, I agree with you, let Eli lower his price tag by acting a fool online. I wouldn't mind us getting him at a discount again.
