Well, my beloved Irish lost today in fine fashion. Our “quarterback” Tommy Rees was of no assistance, throwing two picks in our own endzone to seal our eventual 18-14 defeat. All was not lost, however, as I scoured Twitter to uncover some comedy in the tragedy. Here are the best postgame Tommy Rees tweets. 

• celebrityhottub: If Robert Griffin III is Superman, Tommy Rees is Jubilee.
• KegsnEggs: Tommy Rees seems poised to transfer to inside sales at a nice corporation.
• TheRealSpankyND: If Tommy Rees and Michelle Bachman were hanging from a cliff and I could only save one. I would save Michelle.
• HLS_NDtex: ”Tommy Rees: the great random event generator” LOL
• ACCSports: Don’t ever change, Tommy Rees. Don’t ever change.
• Dan_Rubenstein: Not saying they’d be good, but I’d at least buy an acoustic EP from Tommy Rees and The Red Zone Turnovers.
• pazpaz: If they can’t find Tommy Rees for Notre Dame’s postgame interview, check Brian Kelly’s trunk.

There’s really nothing better than reading through Twitter conversations immediately after a public figure makes an epic fail. I first realized this earlier this summer when the Heat choked in the NBA finals. That said, you can imagine my delight when Tony Romo lost the game for the Cowboys last night [see animated GIF below] and was completely destroyed on Twitter for the entire day that followed.

Some of my favorite tweets, in no particular order:
