When Willis McGahee saw these tweets from reporter Les Shapiro, the Denver Broncos running back was NOT at all happy to say the least.

McGahee obviously wasn’t present at OTAs, but it wasn’t because he was in Vegas like Mr. Shapiro thought. He was actually spending the day with his daughter and his niece.

@LesShapiro I'm not in Vegas

In his defense, Les Shapiro quickly apologized for the false allegations.

@WillisMcGahee You're right. Saw the tweets and the pictures and just assumed. Sorry.

No harm, no foul. But let that be a lesson for all reporters out there. Don’t always assume the worst out of today’s athletes. Sometimes they need to take a break from their jobs for some valuable family time too.
