This afternoon, while he was (allegedly) at practice, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's Twitter account was talking shit to both opposing players, as well as his own team. Unfortunately all we have are screen grabs of what was said. A couple of those tweets included the following things that Cam was almost certainly thinking anyway:

Eventually somebody, somewhere caught on:

Cam Newton's twitter account has been hacked, we're currently working to resolve the issue.

But clearly whoever was doing the tweeting didn't give a shit that they had been made. They continued tweeting several hours after the above message from the Panthers' official account.

Yeah, so @CameronNewton's account is still compromised. We're working to resolve the issue.

Some of those tweets were reportedly about video games, and included repeating a desire to leave the Panthers, as well as a confusing, ambiguous, winking, heart-blowing, Emoji.

The final tweet was a tongue-in-cheek congratulations to the NFL's most currently inept team.

And then his account finally got suspended.
