When did Athletes who Twitter become such circus? In the course of two weeks we’ve had two “Bird Brains” go totally wacko while “tweeting”. First, Rashard Mendenhall blabs some nonsense about bin Laden causing a big furor and then Reggie Bush tweets about how great the lockout is for his “vacation time” which has Saints fans in an uproar. What part about having thousands of followers reading your every word don’t these bozos understand? And don’t they know that journalists are among those reading their updates for story ideas? Maybe they shouldn’t be but they are. How many of us have John Elway on our twitter feeds?

You have any thoughts about this topic. Do you “tweet”? If so do you worry about what you say and how you say it? Clearly it’s a problem for both college and pro athletes as well as franchises and universities. How to solve it is the million dollar question.
