AROUND THE WEB:
-- Adam Gase's alleged burner account might not belong to him after all.
After speculation on Twitter that the Jets head coach was running an account that tweets nothing but support for him, new evidence points to New York Daily News Jets beat writer and Patriots hater Manish Mehta as the person behind @WyattV18.
The account tweeted out Mehta's latest story on Monday night before it was quickly deleted, leading many to believe Mehta meant to post it from his own account but did so from the burner account by mistake.
And Barstool's KFC, along with other Twitter detectives, went to work.
@MMehtaNYDN is @WyattV18. Manish went to go repost this story but it shared to @WyattV18 instead. Couldn't catch it before it was deleted. https://t.co/JREfG3tkpB

THE PLOT THICKENS. Maybe @wyattv18 really WAS Gase, and Gase decided to frame Manish https://t.co/JpOSdsLDd2
— KFC (@KFCBarstool) December 31, 2019We may never know the real story behind the account but the whole thing is very odd.

— New Year's Eve on FOX (@NYEonFOX) December 28, 2019QUOTE OF THE DAY: "It's doing good. I don't have any problems. I have no injuries. I have said it, like, a lot. I feel good.
