Fox Sports Photoshopped one football player's head onto another's body for no reason

NO. REASON.

Because finding photos of NFL athletes who regularly appear on TV is apparently very difficult, Fox Sports found an inexplicable corner-cutting technique.

The network seems to have Photoshopped Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford's head onto injured Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's body...for no decipherable reason.

There's no doubt that Fox Sports, which has broadcasted numerous Vikings games, could have found an image of Bradford that didn't need any editing.

The most telling clue was that fake Bradford was wearing gloves in Fox's image. It's rare for professional football players to wear one glove, let alone two. Bradford has made headlines for his gloves and even earned the nickname "Teddy Two-Gloves."

And not only did Fox Sports replace Bridgewater's head with Bradford's, but they also edited his skin color and jersey number.

Another Twitter user pointed out that Fox has been using the image since the season started over a month ago.

Please enjoy some more Twitter reactions to this madness while we sit back and wait for Fox Sports to comment.
