Sunday night’s AFC West tilt between the Chiefs and Chargers was stressful for both parties. It was a critical game for each team as they jockey for position in the division and the AFC playoff picture, which had injured receiver Mecole Hardman anxious while watching at home.
Hardman was tweeting during the game and towards the end, he may have lost his temper a bit. Hardman tweeted that he threw his remote at the TV. And that was the end of his TV.
Update I threw the remote at the TV! Now I gotta go get a new TV 🤦🏾♂️ https://t.co/laUehn5TIh

He wasn’t lying about breaking his TV, either. To show proof of the damage from the stress of the game, Hardman tweeted a photo of his smashed screen.
Looks legit, right?
Just in case y’all thought I was lying I really did break my tv 😕🥹 pic.twitter.com/1RyOdPyJim

Well, not exactly. A savvy follower replied to Hardman’s tweet with a screenshot of a YouTube video with the exact picture of the receiver’s “smashed” screen.
Coincidence? I think not.

Hardman either pulled off a hilarious prank on his followers or got caught in a white lie. Regardless, it’s too funny.
