ALLEN PARK (CBS DETROIT)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Ever get death threats over a bad day at the office? Thanks to Twitter, it happens to NFL players on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just their play on the field that makes fans fly over the edge \u2014 overwhelmingly, the nastiest comments come from how that play affects fans\u2019 fantasy football leagues.<\/p>\n

Some tweets go beyond wishing harm on players to actually threatening violence. The following tweet targeted superstar Calvin Johnson and quarterback Matthew Stafford.<\/p>\n

I lost my fantasy playoff game by four damn points. That’s four bullets for each of you bitches @Bigplaycj\u00a0@Staff_9\u2014

Back in October, New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs received several menacing messages on Twitter, and the content concerned him enough to contact NFL security.<\/p>\n

Jacobs exposed the fan for terrible remarks that included, \u201cON LIFE BRANDON IF YOU DON\u2019T RUSH FOR 50 YARDS AND TWO TOUCHDOWNS TONIGHT ITS OVER FOR YOU AND YO FAMILY N\u2014\u2013.\u201d<\/p>\n

That tweet was followed by one that said, \u201cFULFILL MY ORDERS STATED IN THE PREVIOUS TWEET OR THATS YO LIFE BRUH AND IM NOT PLAYING.\u201d<\/p>\n
