NEW ORLEANS -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had just gotten back to the visiting locker room after pulling off a stunning 48-40 win against the New Orleans Saints when wide receiver Freddie Martino pulled out his phone and made a startling discovery -- quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was blowing up all over social media as an Internet meme.
One meme turned Fitzpatrick into the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Another turned Fitzpatrick into Harry Potter. There was even a fake advertisement with him, with the words, "Believe in magic. Even if it's Fitz-magic," which Martino held up and numerous players burst into laughter.
