At first, Spiranac’s message seemed sarcastic. She said, “I’m so sorry that I called you the most washed-up quarterback in the NFL. In my defense, you did need 46 pass attempts to get 123 yards in week 17. You look like a baby giraffe when your running and your old.” However, she ends the message with a positive note by saying, “But you’ve been our fearless leader with a never giving up attitude.”
