A torn Achilles tendon has kept Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon from making an impact on the field this season. On Thursday, Weatherspoon made some waves away from it. Thanks to (what else?) Twitter.

“The Aints are way too sorry to have our names in their mouth!” Weatherspoon posted on Twitter. “Our team will be bringing a broom to the bayou!”

He wasn’t finished. In his next twist of the Saints’ tail, Weatherspoon also tweaked his own team.

“They won’t let me talk to the media but they don’t know my Twitter password!” Weatherspoon said. “Been apart of this division for 5 yrs, won the division twice!”

And then Weatherspoon clarified the motivation for his missive.

“That last tweet was for you Aints fans that act like they have just kicked our ass since 2010!” Weatherspoon said. “GOMD!”

I didn’t instantly realize what “GOMD” means. And then I had an idea what it means. And then I went to UrbanDictionary.com to confirm it.

The Saints and Falcons play Sunday in New Orleans. The winner takes a major step toward winning the NFC South, even though both teams are under .500.
