ESPN Fantasy Football App Is Down, Twitter Is Freaking Out
ESPN’s Fantasy Football app has crashed in the middle of Week 1 of the NFL season. Yeah, that actually happened. The tech wizards at the four-letter had all offseason to work out any bugs and make sure everything was ready to go when the NFL kicked off its season and…nope.
ESPN responded to the issue:
We are aware of the current technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience & are working to resolve the issue ASAP.

Oh, I’m sure that will calm everyone down.
Then even the support page went down for “maintenance.”
Now @espn's support page (link from app) is down too?! Hilarious job, @ESPNFantasy @MatthewBerryTMR pic.twitter.com/1d18y5VT4x

Meanwhile, Twitter was in midseason form:

We should have told @ESPNFantasy that we would all be accessing the fantasy football app today. It's our fault.

Not sure what I hate more right now. Steve from Stranger Things or the ESPN Fantasy App.
