Player Cut on Super Bowl 2012 Eve Will Tweet During Game

A New England Patriots wide receiver who was shockingly released from the team less than a day before Super Bowl XLVI will instead tweet updates and reactions as he watches the game on television. The bizarre turn of events will provide a wholly unique experience for fans who follow Tiquan Underwood on Twitter.

“It won’t get in-depth as far as what happened in practice and stuff like that,” Underwood said. “But it will basically be comments on the game, only from someone who will obviously have a bit more knowledge about it than a regular fan.”

The team hopes to bring Underwood back next season, according to the Boston Herald, but released him because of a late decision to add another defensive lineman to their Super Bowl rotation.

Underwood went from two weeks of preparation for the game, to receiving the bad news, to gaining some 5,000 new followers overnight after he posted this series of classy tweets on Saturday afternoon:

This Is Nothing But MOTIVATION….
