The Carolina Panthers encouraged Twitter to do their thing.

Some users felt embarassed about their lack of oral hygiene.

Usually, you have to wait until the Superbowl for something this delightfully odd, so we're thrilled we got to see this so early.

Here are some other tasks we'd love to see pro-athletes perform on the sidelines this season:
-Sorting through old receipts
-Treating an ingrown hair
-Sudoku
-Updating their phone's software
-Writing thank you notes
-Making a list of the best long-reads of the calendar year
