Ocho Cinco says he wants to tweet during games but the NFL says no, they have a rule against it. The rule says no cell phones or handheld devices in the bench area during games.
Maybe in the locker room at half time???

Ocho posted this on his feed: : "Question? If I tweet during the game and they suspend me, would I get paid during my suspension since it's not a legal issue?"

Tweet nothings: NFL says no to Ochocinco - FOX Sports on MSN

Anyone think there's a chance Ocho will test out his theory this season?

He is better off practicing the spelling of his name...given his jeresey mistake.

You know, I so badly wanted to say something about some people not speaking English so well either in payment for all those nasty cheesehead cracks but I knew it wasnt a good thing for an admin to do. So I didnt say it.

Great idea. I mean, why communicate with your quarterback, discuss ways to improve your offense, and review coverage schemes on the sidelines when you can share what flavor Gatorade you're drinking with millions of devoted, faithful followers (read: people with WAY too much time on their hands) via Twitter!

I'm following Bret Bielema on Twitter via computer. He hasnt told me what flavor Gatorade he is drinking yet

I just can't buy into the whole Twitter phenomenon, Bette. There's a limit I need to know about celebrities--I can't see the justification behind constant updates like that. Most of the sportscasters seem to think it'd ultimately be a good thing for fans, though, giving them more access and insight into the game then ever before. Seriously, though, how much to we need? How much is too much?

I think to be labeled a Twitterer that's when I would say it was enough.

No, I dont buy into it either. I just was hoping maybe Bielema or the Badger football team (follow their tweet, tweetering, whatever also) would maybe drop a little something hot about the team or season. So far Bielema hasnt sunk so far as to report on his Gatorade. Mostly he talks about the team. He did say his parents were in town but all his Dad wanted to do was ask questions about QBs.
Its extremely stupid. And it shows just how dumb fans can be sometimes.
Its not going to give us any insight into the game. Fans of celebs just like all that personal stuff. And then celebs complain they dont have a personal life. Yeesh!
And Ocho is a total idiot. He should be half as good and half as important as he thinks he is.

You know, I couldn't agree more. Wish I had something to add but I think you've got all the bases covered.

I think it's so funny that he always has to be doing something to distract others and bring attention... I used to love him, but now he has just become another T.O. to me... His antics have gone from fun and entertaining to selfish and over-the-top!
