If you're of the opinion that Twitter is a mostly useless exercise in wasting time we'd like to point you to the real-time, wall-to-wall coverage of those escaped llamas making their way through Sun City, Arizona on Thursday.
It was riveting stuff, at least if you were trying to avoid real work. Either way, the llamas are in custody and llamas memes have promptly -- and predictably -- taken over the internet. And that includes the NFL.
The #AZCardinals have agreed to one-year deals with the #llamasontheloose. Each llama will earn 2,340 lbs of hay. Steve Keim does it again.

No word if Bruce Arians and/or Carson Palmer cried upon hearing the news.
There's more (of course there is)!

All right, everyone, back to pretending to work.
