And finally, former NFL safety Ryan Clark on The Walking Dead:

I'm not emotionally equipped to continue watching the "Walking Dead". If I hear a cow moo I get nervous. Old people walking slow scares me.
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) July 12, 2015

So Zombies are gonna just fall through the ceiling now huh? Just stinking great.
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) July 12, 2015

Noooooo!!!! Not the pig man.

Man not the pig!!! A little bacon ain't never hurt nobody

So now folks just dying all Willie Nillie and popping up as Zombies? I can't take this stuff no more.

Zombies so dang on stupid though!
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) July 12, 2015

Question.. People just stomp on the zombie's heads & smash them. So, how can their jaws be so strong when the rest of them is falling apart?
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) July 12, 2015

Glenn's sick now too? If he goes I go!
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) July 12, 2015

What's going on in this prison right now on "the Walking Dead" is emotional draining. I need to watch "The Wonder Years" or something.
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) July 13, 2015

Noooooooo!! RT @patycake15: @Realrclark25 It's only a matter of time before we all become zombies, RC.
