Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks take part in friendly (we think) Twitter exchange

The rivalry between the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks is extending to the awards circuit, as Larry Fitzgerald and Earl Thomas are set to battle as part of Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports 2014.
Essentially, kids are going to vote for which player they would like to see end up in a dunk tank.
Ahead of the festivities, the Cardinals sent out a pretty fun tweet.
Goop warning! @LarryFitzgerald battles @Earl_Thomas in the @VerizonWireless Power Dunk tonight! http://t.co/gkjPHvKVb0

It was on from there.
@AZCardinals Larry’s going to be covered more than the #LOB covers him on gameday in the @VerizonWireless Power Dunk! #KidsChoiceSports

@Seahawks Ask Earl if he prefers getting dunked in maple syrup, whipped cream, or the traditional @NickelodeonTV slime! #KidsChoiceSports

@AZCardinals @NickelodeonTV the kids on the #OrangeCarpet agree. Dunk Larry! https://t.co/a0Lh7g7LxX #KidsChoiceSports

We’re not fond of those kids.
@Seahawks Did you bribe those kids with sugar? Haha!
Rivalry aside, here's to a great show for the kids! #KidsChoiceSports

The final photo was taken in the final moments of Arizona’s 17-10 win over the Seahawks in Week 16 in Seattle. Therefore, we say the Cards won this battle.
The show is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Arizona time Thursday. However, it appears it may have begun just a bit early.
