The Washington (NFL team) had just defeated their hated rival Dallas, and everybody in burgundy and gold was feeling a rare moment of exultation. Colt McCoy had achieved the greatest win of his life, and he was ready to talk to anyone and everyone. John Sutcliffe of ESPN Deportes was trying to wrangle an on-camera interview with McCoy.

Enter Tony Wyllie, (team) VP of communications, who was trying to get McCoy off the field however he could. “No, no, no, we gotta go, guys, we gotta go,” Wyllie said, even as Sutcliffe was setting up for the interview. Where did McCoy have to be at this moment? Who knows, but Wyllie made sure everybody knew HE WAS IN CHARGE.

"No means no!" Wyllie bellowed at Sutcliffe as he led McCoy to whatever mysterious destination awaited beneath AT&T Stadium. Naturally, #NoMeansNo began trending worldwide on Twitter.

Per the Washington Post, McCoy finally did talk with ESPN Deportes. And it's entirely possible that McCoy needed to be at a time-sensitive destination, like a larger live-TV hit. But, as per usual, even when things go the (team's) way, they manage to come off looking ridiculous.
