Check and see how often I post on this blog…only when something like this strikes me enough interest to say something…

And idk but anyone who comes on this site is a jet fan and I don’t qualify that as the same as twitter…

Shouldn’t he (Ocho) or any other player for that matter, be more concerned with concentrating and focusing on the game. Don’t these guys do a lot of scheming and reviewing plays when the defense is on the field. Ocho Johnson has been nothing but a huge distraction for the Bengals for like the last five years. I bet they wish they had traded him a year or two ago.

Can someone please explain to me why a player can’t wait until after the game is over?

Misery – that’s the point. It already happened in an NBA game and caused a minor controversy. I guess we should applaud the NFL for having the foresight to address this in advance.

“Anyone who has ever played any team sport knows that there is more than one occasion during the course of a game when players are doing nothing that has anything to do with the outcome of the game or their performance on the field. If you think every conversation on the sidelines is about what plays to run or what the other team is doing, you’re kidding yourself.”

I agree with the rest of your comment, but I don’t agree with this. Admittedly, I have never played football, but in basketball it would be irresponsible to ever let your concentration on the game be distracted.

Please no. Never. Ever. Not in my lifetime please.

I already think tweeting is stupid, and this whole coverage of tweeting is stupid too. Letting athletes doing it during the game would be a catastrophe.

No.

I guess Kerry Rhodes and Chad Ocho Cinco aren’t as cool as you cuz they twitter and answer fans back directly. Which is why fans like Fonzie got put on blas. You must be really cool cuz you only comment on blogs.

Ed the same could be said of posting on web blogs, no?

I think Twitter is awesome, a year ago could we expect a player to not only comment on an article written about him but respond to comments as well.

Are u kidding? U thinlk tweeting during the game is good? U have gotta be joking this is a SPORT…. Its about athleticism and trash talking on the field… Not through a cell phone…

To be honest the normal everyday people that tweet have a severe problem… Get a life no one cares or wants to know about what your doing all day…

Go spend more time with friends and family instead of tweeting on ur phone and computer…

It may not be the greatest ever. But I say before and after a game is fine. From the beginning to the end of a game should be nothing but focus and trying to win the game. Even though we all know much more distractions occur on field as well as off, we don’t need to add fuel to the fire.

Plus, its also way better than to see some of the players get “miked up” and then have the media pick and choose what will be played on air. I say Twitter will give us the real inside scoop.
