There are certain lines that are utilized at every possible opportunity, and one of them is “DEEEEEEEZ NUTS!” The line has been everything from a 90s game to a 2016 presidential candidate, and it’s omnipresent on the internet.
However, the NFL’s social media team apparently missed that memo, sending a tweet about Dez Bryant that was just begging for the “Nuts!” response, and one that got it in spades:
DEEEEEEEZ!

That’s certainly a diverse collection of nuts. Well, it’s a good thing the NFL decided to promote its league-wide social media feed over its individual team accounts, isn’t it?
