A pair of former Tennessee Vols have managed to get the internet into a total uproar.
Well, really it started with one former Tennessee player and then another joined in.
Former Vols running back Arian Foster claimed on the Macrodosing Podcast this week that the NFL is rigged and that each player receives a "script" before every season.
"We were really dedicated to it," said Foster. "So, it was more so like that’s what practice was about — it was about practicing the script. This is what goes on, this is what we have to do…WWF, so it’s like we know what’s going to happen. You still gotta put on a show."
Former Tennessee running back Alvin Kamara, who landed in Knoxville six years after Foster, joined in on the fun on Wednesday.
Foster and Kamara are obviously joking around in response to the multitude of NFL fans that have recently claimed the NFL is "rigged" (the one-sided officiating in the Chiefs' win against the Bengals in the AFC Championship game had the "rigged" discussion kicked up a notch this week).
Unfortunately, some people saw Foster's comments and took them seriously.
Which led to this response from the former Vol.
Foster probably thought he was just joking around during a podcast, completely unaware that his comments would create havoc on the internet.
