Fans target wrong Chris Conte on Twitter after McDonald's stiff arm
Monday was a rough night for Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Chris Conte, who was on the receiving end of a brutal stiff arm from Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald and was then ruled out of the game with a knee injury.
Don't make him angry.

Many fans took to Twitter afterward to mock Conte, but some mistakenly tweeted at Chris Conte of Nashville's NewsChannel 5 instead. The reporter had a good sense of humor about the situation.
