Brandon Bostick Goes After Trent Grisham on Twitter After Costly Error in Wild Card Loss
By Chris Pyo
It's not every day you see an MLB and NFL crossover, but after the Milwaukee Brewers' devastating loss to the Washington Nationals in the NL Wild Card game last night, here we are.
And Packers fans...probably...are also fans of the Brew Crew, and might want to tune out right about now.
Former Green Bay Packers tight end Brandon Bostick dissed Brewers outfielder Trent Grisham after Grisham misplayed a hit from Juan Soto and allowed three runs to score in the 8th inning, including the go-ahead run. What's that saying about those in glass houses?
It was an ugly end to the game for the Brewers, as ace reliever Josh Hader gave up a two-run lead to end the Brewers' season, aided in part by Grisham's stone hands in right. Bostick, who famously bungled an onside kick to help gift the Seahawks all the momentum in the world in the NFC title game in 2015, did not make anything better with this tweet.
If he's so willing to giggle at the pain of others, let's throw the spotlight back on Bostick. With a 19-14 lead over the Seattle Seahawks in the 2015 NFC Championship, the Packers were in position to clinch a berth in that year's Super Bowl. However, the Seahawks attempted an onside kick, and Bostick, who was responsible for blocking ONLY, went for the catch and allowed the ball to ricochet off his helmet, and the Seahawks recovered the ball.
That play allowed the Seahawks to recover the ball and drive down the field to score a touchdown and rally to a 28-22 win and a Super Bowl title appearance.
Naturally, Wisconsin sports fans weren't quick to let Bostick off the hook, as evidenced by the replies to his tweet.
...Yeah.
It's safe to say that Bostick's tweet rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Poor Milwaukee fans.
