Twitter Strikes Again!

That's right folks...It looks as though Twitter is making as many headlines as the injuries. It seems as though players have not figured out yet their their Twitter remarks are the same as press conference remarks. They all come back to bite you...(even brother's accounts).

Washington Redskins: Rookie linebacker Robert Henson has yet to play in a regular season game for the Redskins but he is drawing lots of attention from his teammates and his coach after tweeting about the boos that accompanied the 9-7 win over St. Louis on Sunday.

After the game, Henson tweeted: "All you fake half hearted Skins fan can . . . I won't go there but I dislike you very strongly, don't come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!!"

He also wrote: "The question is who are you to say you know what's best for the team and you work 9 to 5 at McDonalds."

As always he apologized later..

"I understand the weight that my words carried and, you know, how I offended some fans," he told reporters at Redskins Park.

Jim Zorn had this to say...

"Robert is a young player learning to handle his emotions during and after the game," Zorn said in a statement released by the Redskins. "When he gets a chance to play, I want him to have this level of emotion on the field, not off the field."

Arizona Cardinals: It seems that even family members can cause problems with their twitter accounts. The brother of Larry Fitzgerald Marcus tweeted multiple insults about Kurt Warner throughout the game on Sunday because he was not throwing the ball enough to Larry. Many reporters have speculated that Larry was unhappy about it due to his body language on the side of the field Sunday. However, Fitzgerald took the high road and said his body language was from exhaustion. However, the tweet that really has Fitzgerald in trouble is this one...

"Just got off the phone with my brother. he's happy about the win. But PISSED he didn't get the ball thrown 2 him much!"

It seems that players and their family members need to remember that twitter is available to anyone, including reporters. Therefore, what you say can and probably will become mainstream news. Any easy way for them to look at it is...if you wouldn't say it in a press conference don't say it on twitter... What do you think?
