Tamba Hali’s verified Twitter account has suddenly started producing some very interesting tweets.
Recently, Hali took to Twitter to defend QB Matt Cassel. He mentioned the 49ers QB as a player that seemed to reach his potential once he found himself in the right situation.
Tamba’s tweets are usually pretty mild. They are also usually not in all caps.
Until today:
CHIEFS NATION WE HAVE ALOT TO BE EXCITED FOR. THE BEST LINEBACKER COACH GARRY GIBBS IN THE NFL, 3 PRO BOWLERS D. Johnson,J. Houston,T. Hali

BEST PUNTER DUSTIN COLQUIT.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) February 19, 2013
Ok, so innocent enough, right? Hali is fired up about his team and is tweeting about how good some of his teammates are. Other the sudden caps, nothing too crazy.
But then he said this:
JOHN MCGRAW AND BRIAN WATERS MIGHT COME OUT OF RETIREMENT WE MISS THEM CHIEF NATION WE DO.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) February 19, 2013
I’m sorry, what? McGraw coming out of retirement? Quick Draw? Now he’s just trolling.
It continued:
SINCE WE'RE AT IT GLENN DORSEY,TYSON JACKSON,AND SHAUN SMITH. These guys get the dirty work done. They all are in their prime.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) February 19, 2013
Hmmm. He may be upset to find out that there is a good chance all three of those guys won’t be back next year.
Then, the account felt the need to verify that these tweets were definitely coming from Tamba Hali.
No it's me TAMBA HALI TWEETING. LETS GO.

And then this:
AND WE JUST SIGNED THE BEST HEAD COACH IN FOOTBALL ANDY REED.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) February 19, 2013
Andy Reed?
But it’s all good.
MY BAD THAT SPELLING IS ANDY REID. IM RIGHT HERE WIT Y'ALL.

JAMAL CHARLES, D. BOWE, D. MCLUSTER, TONY MOEAKI & JONATHAN BALDWIN ARE ALL GOING INTO BEAST MODE.
— Tamba Hali (@TambaHali91) February 19, 2013
D. McCluster? Did he think we were going to confuse Dexter with the team’s other McCluster?
Has Tamba’s account been hacked?
It’s possible. It happens all the time. He doesn’t really say anything too out of the ordinary here but if you look at his normal activity on Twitter, these new tweets tend to stand out a bit.
