@colon coward
— Jimmy Johnson (@JimmyJohnson) January 2, 2016 Jimmy Johnson tweeted ‘colon coward’ trying to get in touch with Colin Cowherd
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This is and will remain the best Freudian slip of 2016. It’s going to take a LONG time to challenge this entry from FOX’s Jimmy Johnson. Johnson, presumably trying to talk to fellow FOX host Colin Cowherd sent a simple message that’s representative of most of Cowherd’s career.
@colon did not respond, but Jimmy kept on trying.
— Jimmy Johnson (@JimmyJohnson) January 2, 2016 He got the name right, but now there was no message. For now, Johnson hasn’t erased his colon tweet but here it is for posterity -- just in case.
It’s important to remember at this time that colon cancer is almost completely preventable provided you get annual colonoscopies starting at age 50. Let Johnson’s mistweet be a lesson to all of us.
