The Finger Wag – Athletes using Twitter and Social Media to their Disadvantage

I think Ps3 is the best system and xbox it's ok On 6:32 AM Sep 22nd 2009 from Echofon

“I think Brandon Roy is the best Trail Blazer and Travis Outlaw it’s ok.”

One of my favorite parts of this website is trying to figure out why an athlete posted a certain tweet.  We usually comment on what they think about a game they played in, a game they watched, or what they have to say about other athletes.  On occasion I feel the need to point out when an athlete tweets the exact same way a 15 year old would.

You like the PS3?  Fantastic.  Now do you think you think the Xbox is an ok system or are you attempting to console it like a scorned lover because you chose the PS3 over it’s red ring of death love?  What about the Wii?  As an early adopter (sucker) of the Wii I demand to know Travis Outlaw’s thoughts on motion control!

I did a slight bit of research on Mr. Outlaw.  He has his own website. He calls himself “Mr. Fourth Quarter” . This is a great nickname.   This nickame is good it got me excited to see some of his heroics.  So I went to youtube and hit up a video called “Travis Outlaw in the NBA”  when I got there and watched the video what I saw was mostly him running around and attempting to dunk on the Birdman of Denver.  Then I saw this comment:

We lost to the MAV’S tonight but my boy OUTLAW was the shit.He is the 6 man of the year.I thought he was going to kill this year so far hes not Mr 4th quarter but still much love to the young blazer

Well… I guess that settles that.
