The fun west of the border never ends.

Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe apparently tweeted from his team's camp-opening mandatory session: "Zzzzzz zzzzz zzz zzz (in meetings) lol.. Introducing the staff."

[hoosier]

Yeah, he's just hoping that if he pretends to be sleeping Chilly just might start checking out his junk again. Sick bastard.

Who the hell is signed up to read tweets from Visanthe Shiancoe? I mean who really gives a shit? If some people have too many hours in the day, I'll take them off their hands.

Maybe his mommy. I said "maybe"...

Great point though!!!

Yes, but I came in with every intention of saying what I said.

If you REALLY didn't give it shit it wouldn't have been worth your time! You must have cared on some level. (Just giving you some shit.)


Besides, I'm sure your busy reading Barnett's tweets. Linebackers are always more interesting than Tight Ends I guess.

The whole "Twitter comes to the NFL" angle is going to get way, way overplayed this year.

On one level I like it. Minnesota Timberwolf Kevin Love broke the news that the coach had been fired when he tweeted that Kevin McHale called him and said he was fired. I have a feeling some players who aren't paying attention might give away some interesting nuggets but by and large it can be annoying.

Well, if Chilly fires him for it he's always got a living as a porn star...The audition tape's already done.

It's not annoying when players give away information via twitter, it's annoying when the media insists on making a big deal about players using twitter though. Like, I wouldn't be sad if nobody on ESPN mentioned Chad Ochocino's twitter ever again.

OK Ras, you figured me out. I've been secretly negotiating for the movie rights to Visanthe Shiancoe's twitterings. This was my attempt to drive down the price.

The film will be called 'Prick or Tweet' - coming to theatres in fall of 2010.

That's funny... I saw something on ESPN today saying that the Packers were going to fine their players if they're caught "Tweeting" during team events.

You will do well with this, Don. I've heard that Shiancoe has nice twits.
