I was taken for a fool!
Remember the whole Kerry Rhodes/Rodney Harrison Twitter feud? Let me remind you. Since I transcribed it and sent it to Deadspin, I received thousands of hits because of it. Anyway, the account doesn't belong to Rodney Harrison. Adam Schefter contacted Harrison's agent and he confirmed Rodney has no Twitter account. Now, the person running the Twitter account is handing out excuses:
I guess I made a mistake. I should have realized that the "Verified Account" logo was not present on his site. I just assumed it was really him because Kerry Rhodes (who has a verified account) was arguing with him.
On second thought, the spelling and grammar was particularly awful on the Harrison Twitter, so I should have put two and two together. It still fooled a lot of people.
The proprietor of the Twitter account states that everything posted on the site were things Harrison said in earlier interviews and even the feud between him and Rhodes was real. That is essentially not true. He responded to Rhodes' specific tweets and gave the impression that it was Harrison's Twitter.
I don't want to go through the whole thing, but whoever ran the site is backpedaling quickly. He knew exactly what he was doing and since Schefter calling him out, he's suddenly apologetic.
You can still follow "Rodney" if you'd like: His twitter
