The Indianapolis Colts gained a new fan on Tuesday, but it was a hard … and very fast … journey there.
T.J. Vilardi, whose X bio says he is a New York Jets season ticket holder, posted video of him telling two boys that the Jets had traded cornerback Sauce Gardner (to the Colts) and Quinnen Williams (to the Dallas Cowboys).
The smaller of the boys did not take the news of the Gardner move well, breaking into tears and stomping a foot.
“Now I don’t like the Jets,” he said, wondering what he will do with his Gardner jersey.
After Vilardi explained the deals to the boys, and telling them they could get new jerseys, the younger boy said, “I like the Colts now.”
Gardner saw the post and responded: “you should’ve at least waited til tmrw ðŸ˜ðŸ˜”
After joining the Colts, Gardner signed jerseys for the boys.
