This Week in Tweet: DON’T Supersize Him Edition
Posted on July 11th, 2009 by Bassett
The Fourth gave us a twist, but here’s a double edition of The Week in (Jets) Tweet. With the help of our friend, Jets season ticketholder and all around Twitter maven @e_man, we’re going to bring you the best tweets we can find on or around the Jets each week.
We’ll leave yesterday’s fracas out of it.
- [@davidclowney] The WR is addicted to McDonald’s and BIG Macs. Let’s hope it contributes to making BIG catches! ;) He get’s them at all hours.
- [@woodyjohnson4] Woody must sleep at the stadium. He takes late night strolls around the new construction. He also doesn’t like the fact that we have been playing with another team’s name on the building.
- [@DustinKeller81] The TE is thinking about changing his look!
- [@DUSTINKELLER81 & @jayfeely] Not only do players interact with fans, but they are using twitter to keep in touch with each other. Dustin needed a place to work out. Jay offered to hook him up, and Dustin replied.
- [@kerryrhodes] Kerry obviously follows what people are saying about the Jets. @NFLTouchdown had a less than favorable preview and Kerry responded as usual to the point. Maybe he didn’t take to the part about him (per NFLTouchdown.com) “Safety Kerry Rhodes might be great, but being a true facsimile of Ed Reed means being legendary. The acclaimed fifth-year pro is not legendary.” We echo Kerry, WATCH OUT.
- [ericbarton50 & DUSTINKELLER81] Former Jet LB clowned on Dustin Keller, because Dustin just sold off his Range Rover (because it was unreliable) to get a new car. Dustin asked about the Mercedes GL550, to which Barton replied “that’s a soccer mom car! Ill fire you up if you get it”
- [DustinKeller81] Seems to be in a consumptory mood. He’s an iPhone guy, but he asked his followers which phone they preferred because he considered getting the iPhone 3Gs or the Blackberry Tour to see which he likes best.
- [jayfeely] Has been busy catching all the trout in Lake Michigan and lives on the edge, even frying a turkey with his brothers the other night.
- [davidclowney] Was at home and got a haircut with Cris “All He Does is Catch Touchdowns” Carter and Brandon Flowers (Are We Human or Are we Dancer? … no not that Brandon Flowers, this one). Clowney also worked out with LB Takeo Spikes by taking a run on the beach.

David Clowney should not be eating McDonald’s if he plans on contributing to this team.
I don’t know if the consumption of Big Mac’s will make for Big Catches, and Big Plays, but it will definitely make for Big ****s
Don’t forget the one where Stuckey says he can’t stand being around lazy people.
We’ve got a weird, weird team…
Especially Keller…
OK This is borderline weird…I get why you posted Fonzie getting toasted but whats the point in posting all this for?

[...] As Bassett alluded to in this week’s edition of This Week in Tweet, NFLTouchdown released a very well-written, but certainly less-than-favorable preview of the 2009 Jets season. They do though, manage to drop hands-down my favorite Rex-related line of the offseason: “Words are to Ryan what sprinkles are to children: colorful and something to be used prodigiously.” It’s a preview that hits hard, is almost painfully honest and probably touches on a few fans’ fraying nerves. That said, the points made within, are valid in long stretches — including taking an intense look at the golden boy: Mark Sanchez. As tends to happen when impatience takes over, the Jets are going from one extreme to another: out with the ancient passer, in with the callow one. Sanchez started only 16 games at USC. Though the web has become littered with football dilettantes reminding everyone that Sanchez ran a “pro style” offense, the fact of the matter is, he is utterly untested. While running USC’s “pro style offense”, Sanchez rarely had to throw from a dirty pocket. He rarely had to work through four or five progressions. He rarely had to rifle balls through tight windows. Thus, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer could face the same obstacles in ’09 that he faced after Favre joined New York in August ’08: what plays can be called? Schottenheimer’s offense was limited to almost comical simplicity last season. [...]
