      No, it's a viewer hook for the younger audience. Those kids and younger adults think that there's a chance something they submitted will make the broadcast, give them some thrill of seeing their name and words splashed across the screen for all to see. The twatter feed is pure audience retention.

        So it's sort of like submitting a question to Russo in the hope he answers it in one of this articles so you can cut it out and hang it on your fridge. Man, how lame do you have to be to do something like that?

              Back before Twitter and when the ESPN message boards were just starting up, my comment was featured on the primetime Sportscenter about the Michael Vick story. I didn't even get to see it. There was a bunch of people the next day congratulating me and telling me they saw my comment up there. I was ****ed.

                    Heh. I still have part of the article where Barreiro referred to a certain "chowderhead" in the Star Tribune years ago. I had called into KFAN about a Twins thing, and it somehow made it into the paper.

                          Do you think Skip Bayless ever feels bad he gave up on real journalism to be a one-trick pony?

                          The Patriots are even better than they were last year.

                          If the Patriots need to win one game without Brady, I'd bet on Tebow far more than I would on Ryan Mallett.

                          Skip Bayless ‏@RealSkipBayless 11h
                          Tebow can't run Brady's offense but he can win games in the NFL when they're on the line.

                          Not a good night for Tebow. Ran strong yet this time no spread option called for him. WHY NOT? 2 near-miss bullets, one awful overthrow INT.

                            I just happened to land on Sports Center last night while flipping and they were talking NFL so I lingered.

                            Then they went to their fantasy consultant to ask about the value of a 2nd or 3rd string running back on whatever team they were talking about...

                            News flash. Not everyone plays fantasy football. I can zone out and sit through an occasional NBA segment or even the latest non-story about Rex Ryan or Timothy, but I can't tolerate men in suits on my TV breaking down fantasy football.

                              He may, until he checks in bank account, then I doubt he cares.
