During their autograph signing session on Tuesday night, the Giants' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Prince Amukamara took a picture with a fan, who wanted them to form a circle with their fingers. Sounds harmless enough, right? One day later, all hell broke loose as the person, who requested the photo, posted it on Twitter. Let's take a look.

Ouch. As you can probably already tell, the pic implies that Rodgers-Cromartie and Amukamara are taking a shot at the Philadelphia Eagles and their zero Super Bowl titles. Eventually, the image went viral, causing some Eagles players to react:

Over time, the news got to DRC, who wanted to clear the air about the misinterpreted pic:

I meant nothing by the photo, I was just doing what a fan asked me to do, truly didn't mean any disrespect at all

DRC on LPG-PIC Gate: "We were just two guys taking a picture. We didn't think nothing of it. Definitely nothing to be disrespectful." #NYG

Could DRC see why Eagles might be upset with photo? "Not coming from my standpoint, because I ain't got no Super Bowls, either." #NYG

It sounds like this was a genuine misunderstanding. Still, it's going to make for a fun Sunday night when these two teams square off.
