The Finger Wag - Athletes using Twitter and Social Media to their Disadvantage » General

Fake Michael Jordan has the best Twitter Account Ever

ScottiePP7 — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:00:24 +0000

Here at The Finger Wag we try to ensure everything we write about is actually written by the athlete themselves and not an imposter. I have to break that rule today.

There is no way this Michael Jordan twitter account is real, but I sure as hell wish it was. It would make my man-crush on him a million times worse. Here is a sample:

(Michael Jordan)

I think I'm done with eating Green peppers. They are the worst pepper, and always make a meal worse.

How true is that?!? I fucking HATE green peppers. I once got a western omlet and it had green peppers in it and I almost threw up! They are the worst!

Here is another wonderfully true statement:

(Michael Jordan)

Sometimes, I have a week or two when I remember how great pop music in the 80s was. This week is one of those times.

And finally, one of my favorites:

(Michael Jordan)

I had a dream last night about lots of cats and enormous rabbits in a barn.

God damn I wish this was him…

Kobe vs MJ

(Marcus Jordan)

NO ONE...And I mean NO ONE should EVER com par kobe Bryant to my dad an say that he is anywhere near close to my dad He's jagging this game

Who is Marcus Jordan you ask?

You may remember him as the child of Michael Jordan who demanded that the school drop its sponsorship with ADIDAS and go with his dad’s shoe of choice, NIKE.

He had those words to say during Kobe’s game 7 against the Celtics.

I don’t blame him, when Kobe goes 6-24 attempting to win a game 7 finals you just can’t compare him to Michael. I can’t believe I can sit here and type out Pau Gasol won the Lakers a championship.

Well him and Ron Artest’s psychiatrist

Earl Barron is not the most Sought After Free Agent

ScottiePP7 — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 18:00:11 +0000

I present you Earl Barron. He has been a role player in the NBA for a few seasons and seems like an overall good guy from checking out his twitter. Earl is looking to gain every advantage he can:

Ron Artest said he worked out 4 times a day last summer. He's a beast. All that hard work paid off. I wanna go back to the gym now.

On 18-6-2010 23:36:17 from web

Maybe he should just tell some stories about all the people he saw murdered during a pick up basketball game?

Ok I am done with Ron Artest for the day, I promise.

Women Be Shoppin

ScottiePP7 — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:06:12 +0000

In the case of these twitter highlights the women be shoppin for men…

Kellie Wells, a track and field star, was watching the Lakers playing the Suns and had some choice words to describe Kobe Bryant:

No matter how much Kobe loves white women.... I still love him. He's just so fine!

Kim Glass, an Olympic volleyball player, was looking for love on a recent flight:

What can you learn from these tweets? That I am not their type.
That, and just about nothing else.

Memorial Day Weekend

ScottiePP7 — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:44:12 +0000

Hey Everyone -

Welcome back to work after a long Memorial Day weekend, hope everyone enjoyed it. We want to take a second here and thank everyone who has given their life protecting our country.

You, like myself, probably celebrated by throwing on a drunk at a cookout or maybe hitting the pool or a lake? Athletes do things a bit differently and I noticed a lot of them seemed to be doing things Vegas-style this weekend:

Chad Ocho Cinco (@OGOchoCinco) Meets a TGIF Superstar (@MarkCurry)

ScottiePP7 — Thu, 27 May 2010 01:22:51 +0000

Remember TGIF on Friday nights in the early 1990’s? I loved TGIF it was like crack for me, the only thing better was the next night and SNICK. They are two of the main reasons I suffered from childhood obesity. Apparently Chad Ocho Cino shares a love of mine…

Just saw Marc Curry on the plane (Hanging with Mr. Cooper) http://twitpic.com/1r9pe5

On 26-5-2010 15:30:27 from Twitpic

My favorite part of this might be learning that Mark Curry, Mr. Cooper himself, has a twitter account. He uses it to challenge Rev Run with words of wisdom like this one:

Darryl Talley and Thurman Thomas Ponder the Meaning of The Finger Wag

ScottiePP7 — Tue, 25 May 2010 23:30:32 +0000

If you were around over the weekend you may have seen my post on Darryl Talley and his love for NCIS. If you did see it, you were not the only one. Darryl himself came across the post and gave it a retweet, very kind of him.

Awesome, I love it when athletes read our site. Hell I love it when anyone reads our site.

Darryl’s friend Thurman Thomas also saw our post (most likely with the one right below it about his lack of understanding on Follow Friday). Here is when it gets interesting:

@TheFingerWag God didn't intend for us to be the same... But he is a helluva guy to know...@DarrylTalley

We aren’t the only ones confused:

@thurmanthomas Whats it have 2 do with God?

(Thurman Thomas)

@DarrylTalley Ur Funny

On 23-5-2010 03:38:01 from Echofon in reply to Darryl Talley

So it’s obvious to me that after years of pondering Thurman Thomas thinks he has finally figured it all out.

The Finger Wag = God

I am sorry Thurman, you are wrong. The Finger Wag is not God. You are close however.

Loyal fans of The Finger Wag, I present to you the secret behind our little website:

This is a good time to bring it up., if you like anything entertainment check out Today Is Rex Manning Day. Their first post was on Lost yesterday and I will be putting my thoughts their tomorrow or the day after.

Chris Bosh is a Free Agent Too

ScottiePP7 — Tue, 18 May 2010 14:30:44 +0000

Amongst all this talk of LeBron James’ free agency this summer we may forget about some of the other amazing free agents up for grabs. Some truly great players are working hard to make sure they get a great contract on a contending team so they can finally win that championship.

Chris Bosh ain’t hearing that…

Man! I am truly and honestly out of shape. Lol
