NFL confirms Twitter account hacked after tweet erroneously reports Goodell's death

In a quickly deleted tweet the official NFL Twitter account briefly reported that Commissioner Roger Goodell passed away.

The tweet, posted Tuesday afternoon, was followed by two others, which were also quickly removed.

The second and third tweets read; "Oi, I said Roger Goodell has died. Don't delete that tweet" and "OK, OK, you amateur detectives win. Good job."
