Who’s Having a Good/Bad Day on Twitter
HAVING A GOOD ONE
Tom Brady: The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback triggered mass chaos on Twitter by announcing Sunday an end to his two-month NFL retirement and his intention to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another season.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm

HAVING A BAD ONE
Michael McFaul: The Stanford professor and former ambassador to Russia apologized Saturday amid Twitter backlash to his claim on MSNBC that Russian President Vladimir Putin is, in certain respects, worse than Adolf Hitler.
After a huge backlash, @McFaul retracted these comments last night, blaming fatigue, but he's still saying he wants to see "scholarly readings" to confirm that Hitler really did murder ethnic Germans.
