NFC South teams engage in a hilarious GIF battle
There are no winners or losers in the NFL in June. It’s a time for minicamps and organized team activities.
But the four teams in the NFC South did engage in a little competition on Twitter earlier this week. It all began with an innocuous tweet from the account of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stadium.

That's so fetch. @RJStadium https://t.co/dHgjUIwfj6
— Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@TBBuccaneers) June 17, 2015Fetch? That is a reference to the movie, “Mean Girls,” and the Atlanta Falcons were having none of it.
