“So yeah, Twitter started out as a place for Shaq to report that he had just eaten pancakes. But hasn’t it evolved in a much more fascinating direction? In sports, athletes finally have a way to bypass the media completely. Sometimes their tweets are interesting, sometimes they’re stupid. Kevin Love broke news that his coach wasn’t coming back on Twitter. That was interesting. Chad Ochocinco wrote, “Okay, first Mrs. Fawcett, now Mr. Jackson, please tell me that this is a mistaken rumor, if not this is just as sad as 9/11.” That was stupid. But think about how fast this moved. How many stories will break on Twitter each week? How many athletes will get into trouble by writing something dumb? How many Twitter-related apologies will be issued per week? How will franchises use Twitter to sell tickets, merchandise and everything else? Which mainstream website will strike a deal with Twitter first? Will I be tweeting my annual draft diary next year? Where is this going?”
