Seahawks LB Bruce Irvin makes horrible joke about drunk driving
By Jack Crosby
Bruce Irvin tried to make an April Fool’s Day joke, but he really forgot to think it all through before he did it
As we all know, Wednesday is the day when everyone is going to try to dupe everyone else. In a nutshell, that it was April Fool’s Day is all about. But sometimes, people don’t think their entire joke through before they unleash it, and that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday with Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin.

Irvin, much like a lot of other people today, took to social media to try and pull a fast one on everybody. Now of course, with him being such a prominent member of the Seattle organization, he could have picked a number of things to try and trick everyone with. He could have said he got cut. He could have said Pete Carroll was fired. Hell, he could have said he heard the NFL was launching an investigation into the New England Patriots that might give the Seahawks the Super Bowl trophy by default.
No, he did none of this. Instead, Irvin decided to try to trick the fans into thinking that he got caught drinking and driving, even issuing an “apology.”
Before this hits the media I just wanna apologize to my fans and the @Seahawks organization once again. I made a terrible decision b driving

Really, Bruce?!? With DUI being such a scary issue in not just football, but all sports, you pick this to try and trick everyone? With how many DUI-related deaths there are per year, you choose THIS?!?
A short time later, Irvin would go on to apologize –sort of.
Ok it was a joke didn't meant to disrespect anybody. Damn relax

The last tweet that Irvin sent out, though, might be the best decision that he has made today.
I'm banning myself from Twitter the rest of day. U trolls have fun killing my mentions i got work to do

No, Bruce, they’re not trolls; not this time. Those people in your mentions are rightfully letting you know that what you did was not the smartest move in the world.
