  "account": "Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took to social media on Sunday to humorously respond to criticism from former teammate Aqib Talib regarding Bo Nix's performance in a recent game. Fitzpatrick, who called Nix \"almost disrespectful to the QB position,\" was indirectly critiquing himself during his video response. In the skit, Fitzpatrick mimicked a FaceTime call with Talib, where he playfully defended himself. Despite the playful exchange, even professional commentators praised Fitzpatrick's self-awareness and humor. Dallas Wings commentator Mike Leslie commented, \"Lol, everyone should strive for this level of self-awareness and hilarity,\" while Denver media member Vic Lombardi said, \"This is tremendous work.\" Even Jason Kelce, a former Philadelphia Eagles center, chimed in, stating, \"I love this kind of mature level-headed discourse #respect.\"",
  "summary": "You can say a lot of things about Ryan Fitzpatrick. One thing you can’t say? He’s not hilariously self-aware.",
