On Sunday, in the Super Bowl, Patriots' cornerback Malcolm Butler made the play of his life that won his team the Super Bowl. With the Seahawks at the one yard line with under a minute remaining in the game and down four, it looked like the defending champions would repeat. That is, until Butler made a play. Seattle tried to run a slant route, and Butler recognized it. He jumped the route and picked it off. The Patriots won the Super Bowl, thanks to the great play of corner Malcolm Butler.
Meanwhile, the Colts have a cornerback named Darius Butler. And there were quite a few people who thought that he was the one who actually made the game-winning play for the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Naturally, he decided to have a little fun with it on twitter, and the results were pretty great.

Of course, not only do Darius Butler and Malcolm Butler share the same last name, they also play the same position, and Darius Butler was actually drafted by the Patriots in 2009, spending two seasons there. Still, though, if you're going to tweet about the great play made by Malcolm Butler on Sunday night, it's a good idea to make sure you're tweeting at the right player.
