Let's See How Twitter Reacted to the Earl Thomas Story: TRAINA THOUGHTS

Earl Thomas saying stuff happens and keep us in your prayers leads to meme bonanza.

1. Where do we even begin with the Earl Thomas story?

Of course, an incident where someone allegedly pulls a gun on someone else shouldn't be taken lightly. However, when the gun was allegedly pulled by a wife who caught her NFL husband and his brother in bed with other women and then said NFL player goes on Instagram to say "stuff happens," it's going to be internet fodder.

This was pretty much everyone this morning while finding out about the wild story involving the Ravens' defensive back.

Let's start with "stuff happens." Your wife puts a gun to your head after she catches you and your brother in bed with a couple of women and your reaction his "stuff happens" and "keep us in your prayers"? I'm not religious, but I'm not sure this is how prayers are supposed to work. And if this is "stuff happens," maybe Earl needs to calm down.

Of course, the story of Earl getting caught in bed with his brother and some women was the main focus of Twitter.

2. The Bucks' players who have kicked the Lopez brothers out of the group chat because they refuse to get iPhones are 100% in the right. Getting those green text messages and not being able to see the three-dot typing indicator is an absolute travesty. (And yes, this is a passive-aggressive message that I'm sending to my friend Chris Hurney, who has ruined a group chat of ours because he thinks he's taking some consumer stand by not being a slave to Apple products.)

The other Bucks players have banned the Lopez twins from the group chat...because they have Android phones. 😂

3. Nate Burleson works for NFL Network and CBS, so he must have had a big smile on his face firing off this tweet.

Not sure how that would work given that I don’t work for ESPN... https://t.co/oY7JLARfOC pic.twitter.com/GJ7bnyLPHu

4. If you're a Seinfeld fan, you will enjoy the replies I got to this tweet I threw out Wednesday night.

Here's how you know "Seinfeld" is the 🐐sitcom. In 15 minutes, you guys have named about 50 different episodes.

For the record, my answer is "The Dinner Party." pic.twitter.com/ixmB4qneLs
