A little after 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Brad Holdgreve presumably went to twitter.com, clicked on the “GIF” icon, typed in “excitement” or one of its synonyms, clicked the Jonah Hill one, described his excitement and hit “Tweet.”
“I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS!!!” @findlaybuckeye tweeted.
Holdgreve wasn’t alone.
Confirmation of the Tiger Woods-Peyton Manning vs. Phil Mickekson-Tom Brady match in May saw a majority of happy GIFs, emojis and comments on social media, as the event will mark the first live sporting event in about two months due to the coronavirus.
Social media also brought the jokes – because social media.
A sampling:
References to excitement
References to the return of sports
References to Brady and Deflategate
References to Mickelson’s thumbs-up
References to Brady’s new teammate in Tampa Bay
References to Mickelson’s style
References to the prediction of the match
And plenty of humor
