Happy Friday — now let’s break out the triple-option for Notre Dame Football.

BRIAN KELLY EVERYWHERE

The news dropped on Thursday night and spread like wildfire on Twitter... Brian Kelly filed for a divorce from his wife Paqui.

The thing is though... it became pretty clear that the full story wasn’t there. All three of the Kelly adult children quickly jumped on Twitter to disavow the story.

Why was this story still up and running?

Well... it’s because things weren’t fine a few days earlier when Brian Kelly hired a lawyer to file the petition for divorce.

A short while after the initial report surfaced, the news outlet amended its original story to include a note that the couple reconciled between the filing and Thursday,

BATON ROUGE - LSU head football coach Brian Kelly filed this week for divorce from his wife of 28 years, according to court records, but sources say the couple has reconciled and will seek to have the case withdrawn from the courts.
