NFL Twitter account hacked; could you have done better?

The NFL Twitter account was hacked and the first Tweet from the hacking claimed Roger Goodell passed away.

If you could send any Tweet from the NFL Twitter handle, what would it be?

So, that brings us to our question. If you were to hack the NFL Twitter account, what would you Tweet? Share with us in the comments your most creative ideas.
