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

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! On 12:42 AM May 24th 2010 from UberTwitter

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.

Darrell Reid does his best Kevin Smith monolog and decides to use twitter to provide some commentary on relationships between men and women, men and men, women and women and whatever else he can think about.

That reminds me of this great scene from Chasing Amy:

See what I did there? You like it don’t you?

I have noticed a disturbing fact on Serena’s twitter account lately. She has an obsession and they are never good. For a woman who is talked about in rap songs so frequently you wouldn’t think she has problems in the dating department, but apparently our little Serena has a crush. It appears Serena’s obsession is with the band Green Day and in particular it’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong

Now a man who knows his stuff when it comes to obsession and borderline sociopathy, we can smell our own and I am worried about her.

Like all obsession’s it starts off quite simply

This is not a joke! When u email me please make sure that u have a updated pic attached... On 11:01 AM Apr 15th 2010 from UberTwitter

I like the fact that he is making them attach a picture. Have you ever tried online dating? Woof.

Along those lines, ladies if an NFL star is not your type but a blogger that gets 20 hits a day is send me an email. Must attach a picture naturally, I’m not an animal.

Darnell Dockett may be my favorite person that The Finger Wag follows. The dude is flat out hilarious and on top of that he knows his meals. Check him out (@ddockett) he tweets his meals, his parties, everything. Including the lady who is capturing his heart only after she captured all of ours.

Yes that’s right, America’s Rose the one and only – Oprah

Here are some of his professions of love:
