Falcons craft perfect Twitter response to local anchor
Give the Atlanta Falcons kudos for beating the training camp buzzer with Julio Jones' holdout.
Give their social team a retweet or two while you're at it.
The reason: A perfectly-crafted response to Atlanta-area news anchor, Buck Lanford, who tagged Jones to explain his 10-year-old son is changing his screensaver.
Dear @juliojones_11,

My 10 year old son is a huge fan. The pic below has been his long time screen saver.
Tonight, he told me he is changing it to a solo shot of @M_Ryan02 or @devontafreeman.
Just thought you should know.
Sincerely,

When Jones' contract standoff came to an end, the Falcons already had the best retort imaginable loaded up.
Just in case anyone needs a new phone wallpaper or desktop screensaver... pic.twitter.com/Mj2EeoLhBQ

No need to hit the 280-character threshold there, folks. One sentence will do the job.
For what it's worth, Lanford was happy to share the Jones graphic with his followers.

Maybe Lanford's son will make a new screensaver choice after all.
