Charles Johnson criticizes unnamed Panthers teammates on Twitter after Bucs loss

Charles Johnson of the Carolina Panthers thought his team's failure to hold an 11-point lead with less than four minutes left was the product of laziness on the part of some of his defensive teammates. Less than an hour after his team gave up three scores to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the final eight minutes of regulation and overtime, Johnson sent out a critical tweet on his account @randywattson that said as much.

You may be shocked to learn that the Twitter account of a man whose handle is the misspelled name of a fictional lounge singer of Sexual Chocolate isn't a bastion of nuance, reason and patience. (Says the guy with a Twitter avatar of a fictional singer of Jesse and the Rippers.)

His tweet read: "Embarrassed to be apart of that last drive! Some people study and work harder than others and they get exposé in the game #saynomore"

Well, no wonder the Panthers lost. Putting the Miami girl group Exposé into the game couldn't have helped the Panthers defensively. "Seasons Change" and "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" are fine songs but that doesn't mean Ann, Jeanette and Gioia are ready to play in the nickel.

(Note: Johnson may have meant "they get exposed" instead "they got exposé." That would make more sense. In the parlance of Johnson's Twitter feed "autocorrect ugh #smh #lol.)

Aside from the adjective/music group confusion, Johnson's drive brings up many questions. Which teammates don't study? Who works the hardest? And which last drive do you think he was talking about? The one in which Tampa went 80 yards in one minute with no timeouts and converted a game-tying two-point conversion or the one in which Tampa methodically moved over a defeated Panthers defense for the game-winning touchdown in overtime?

Eh, either way, angry tweets after a loss should be treated like bitter replies to letters or Cam Newton's sweaters: Put in a drawer, never to be thought about again.
