New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was flagged on Sunday night for driving Indianapolis Colts defensive back Sergio Brown off the field and into a cameraman. Gronk was assessed penalties for unnecessary roughness and taunting, but boy was it worth it.
Brown got the Wikipedia treatment on Monday in multiple different ways. For starters, his bio said that he died on Nov. 16 after being “murdered” by Gronkowski.

That blurb was quickly deleted, but another one appeared later in the day. The second update was even funnier, noting that Gronk hit Brown so hard that Brown simply “evaporated” into thin air.

We have seen plenty of these Wikipedia pranks in the past (like Emmanuel Sanders being pronounced dead after taking a huge hit on Sunday), but they don’t last very long. Thankfully we have technology like Twitter to capture the greatness.
