Arian Foster, NFL Are In A Complicated Relationship

Arian Foster is just about the best thing going on Twitter when it comes to NFL players. He's random, funny and even throws in some words of wisdom. The star running back's Wednesday night conversation with the NFL's Twitter account falls into the random and funny categories.

Foster's exchange with the NFL started off with this.

Total Access says @ArianFoster = greatest undrafted player in the NFL right NOW. AGREE/DISAGREE? nfl.com/videos/nfl-net…

— NFL (@nfl) February 16, 2012

That's actually a compliment, right? Foster had a different response to all this hubbub, though.

@nfl Why does this matter?

— Arian Foster (@ArianFoster) February 16, 2012

The tweet is the equivalent of an Internet commenter saying "Why is this news?" Hours passed and Foster still never received an answer from the NFL, though, leading to the loneliest tweet of the night.

The @nfl won't tweet me back.

— Arian Foster (@ArianFoster) February 16, 2012

And this, too:

Just trying to get the @nfl to tweet me back. What up bro? RT @RB2cool: @ArianFoster what's good my dude?

— Arian Foster (@ArianFoster) February 16, 2012

Poor guy just wants to strike up a conversation. Someone needs to give Foster a reality show and just let him roll with it.

Edit: Success!

It doesnt matter on a cosmic scale. But it's a fun debate, no? nfl.com/videos/nfl-net… RT @ArianFoster: @nfl Why does this matter?

Are you gonna ignore us for an hour now as payback? :) RT @ArianFoster: The @nfl won't tweet me back.

Yes, the NFL used a smiley face.
