NFL Twitter hacked: Goodell's death falsely tweeted

Even the NFL's Twitter account can be hacked.

Early Tuesday morning the NFL's account tweeted out: “We regret to inform our fans that our commissioner, Roger Goodell, has passed away. He was 57. #RIP.”

The tweet was soon deleted.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello responded to USA TODAY in an email about the tweet: “Not true. Hacked.”

It wasn't the only tweet to go out on the NFL's account.

Another tweet said: "Oi, I said Roger Goodell has died. Don't delete that tweet.
