Nearly one month ago, Brandon Spikes signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Buffalo Bills after a tumultuous end to his career with the New England Patriots. In January, Spikes showed up late to practice which was subsequently followed by the 26-year-old linebacker getting placed on injured reserve. Not surprisingly, the Pats didn't resign Spikes when his deal was up at the end of the season. 

Today, Spikes hopped on Twitter and seemed like he was in a good mood. 

I'm ready for the season #GoBills #Billmafia

We are too, Brandon. We are too. 

Great games on the schedule for 2014, but it's going to be like Christmas to hand the #Patriots #PatriotsNation a L...twice! #BILLSMAFIA

Makes sense. The Patriots are now your former team. 

it's icing on my cake to hand the #Patriots two big L's this year. #justwatch

Alright, we get the message loud and clear.  

4 years a slave

Wait, what?! Well, that came out of nowhere. Um, whatever motivates you? We wish Spikes expanded on this thought, but dude had more important things to take care of. 

I'll tweet in a sec. Busy blocking every single #MassHole one sec #Twitter brb
