A little surprise today as the Internet attempted to claim another victim, this time in the form of Joe Flacco. A Baltimore Ravens Twitter account, @RavensNationLIVE was hacked earlier today and the Twitter trolls ran with it.

Note the Twitter handle…
Of course, once word got out, it spread like wildfire. There were skeptics, sympathizers and,of course, those asking the age old question…is Joe Flacco elite. I digress.
@RavensNationLIVE quickly issued a statements regarding the incident.
We are deeply sorry for what has happen. It seems as though we have been hacked. Please be patient as we try to handle this horrible hacker.

As it turns out, Joe Flacco is not dead and, yes, his elite status is still in question.
Joe Flacco is dead TBH I know him personally and his final words were "tell everyone I'm not an elite QB."
