The Detroit Lions have been throwing money around like nobody's business, inking running back Reggie Bush, safety Glover Quin, defensive lineman Jason Jones to free agent contracts, and re-signing cornerback Chris Houston.

The humor was apparently lost on much of the Twitterverse.

That isn't to say Lang didn't touch of a few nerves, though. One fan attempted (what he thought was) a witty retort.
Emphasis on "attempted."
