Mike Wallace, one of the original correspondents for CBS' 60 Minutes, died on Saturday at the age of 93, and as you'd expect, many took to Twitter to weigh in on the journalist's death.

Others, however, weighed in on the wrong Mike Wallace.

Believe it or not, there were some football fans out there who thought that the Mike Wallace who died was actually the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver.

Why,just because our 93 yearold WR died. He had a great career considering he was an 89 year old rookie!!

What he said

Aren't you guys tired of the "sonofabitch" and "what he said" catchphrases yet? Jokes are funnier when they're used sparingly and unexpectedly.
HINT!!!!

Yeah, what Wally said!


Too soon?

I can honestly see that happening, thinking it was our Mike Wallace. I don't condem those people for thinking that. They were all very nice, sincere posts.

Why the hate??? It was an honest mistake.

for good measure!!!!!

I think it goes to show how a lot of people just read headlines and don't take the time to actually look into something before forming an opinion and making comments. If someone doesn't care enough to do a quick Google search and find out how he died, then they deserve to be ridiculed a little for their laziness and need to comment without knowing what they're talking about.
