Bears fans got the scare of their lives Wednesday with a simple tweet that, at first glance, felt like an “in memoriam” for former Bears cornerback Charles “Peanut” Tillman.
The “in memoriam” tweet was a nod to the death of Planters mascot Mr. Peanut. The wording of the tweet wasn’t the best — the whole “thanks for the memories” and “Peanut” mentioned in the same sentence. And, as you’d expect, Bears fans reacted in the moment.
The Bears Twitter account clarified that their tweet was in fact not about Peanut Tillman.
It didn’t take long for Peanut Tillman to assure fans that he was in fact very much alive.
Bears fans can breathe a sigh of relief that Peanut Tillman is alive and well.
