As the Major League Baseball season remains 60 days away, the NFL’s season is drawing to a close, with the two Super Bowl contenders already determined and set to face off on February 13th. During the National Football Conference final, when the Eagles faced off against the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field, quarterback Brock Purdy was forced to leave the field due to a right elbow injury and could not return, likely costing the 49ers the match. In response, MLB veteran Lenny Dykstra took to Twitter to offer a supportive message, with a strong undertone for the 2022 NFL draft’s “Mr. Irrelevant”.
What would possibly seem like Dykstra shying away from his newly developing notorious Twitter personality turned out to be just another typical Dykstra tweet.

MLB Veteran offers kind words to Brock Purdy. Or does he not?
In the tweet, the 1986 New York Mets World Champion tagged Brock Purdy’s mother and sister. At the same time, he offered his well-wishes for the quarterback who lost the conference finals to the Philadelphia Eagles, 31-7.
I know it’s tough for you right now, @Whittneypurdy16 and @bigbirdpurdy. But you have so much to be proud of with your brother/son. He has a great NFL future ahead of him. I’ve been through it all as a pro athlete, and I’m here for whatever you need. Feel free to DM me any time.

Dykstra started off with a new message, by saying, “I know it’s tough for you right now, @Whittneypurdy16 and @bigbirdpurdy. But you have so much to be proud of with your brother/son. He has a great NFL future ahead of him.”
However, as the message continued, Dykstra asked Purdy’s mother to feel free to contact him personally whenever they need. He said, “I’ve been through it all as a pro athlete, and I’m here for whatever you need. Feel free to DM me any time.”
