PrintWell, the people get what the people want. Or something. Here is another installment of NLOT. I hope it is as fun for you as it is for me.
Brandon Ware is not impressed by Armando Allen or Daniel Herron: How da hell did Royster NOT get put on da Doak Walker watchlist?? Fuckin Armando Allen & Daneil Herron? I coulda swore he had better stats?
Jeff "Emo Kid" Brooks?: is thinking what the hell is going on, am I the only and only person that feels this way?
is at crossroads. Which way should I go? is thinking that if you love something cherish it, because if you don't, another deserves it. Geez, cheer up man, we need you this year.
BATTLESMASH 09-10?(via CORNLEY SMASHTWEET): Just got done playing with the team, should be a great year. Showering, then going to chilis with T Battle, last sit-down. Passing the torch
Chris Babb is impressed by the SMASHFEST: looking at j corn and t battle at chilis.. i cant believe it.. wow.. should i get their signature???
LJ Jr. in Jail?: Anutha day down!!!!...by the way im reading everyones tweets jus to see how you outsiders get to enjoy August!!! and im Stuck in jail lol Is it bad that I thought he might actually be in jail(not training camp)?
James McDonald has big inebriated dreams: Why do I just feel like greatness is in front of me? No matter my situation, I feel like I'm destined...but to be what?
Justin King is not a fan of training camp: drove 9 hrs today from pittsburgh to St. louis...to check in to hell on earth aka CAMP
DC 17 Makes me feel confident the WRs will be Ready: Good morning everyone...its a good day to go throw some weights around..playin pitch and catch with the wideouts later He will fist pump us all the way to another Big10 title this season, mark my words.
SPECIAL CELEBRITY GUEST TWEET:
Pete Carroll will always be on my shit list: watching manny reminds me of watching willie mays when i was a kid... something huge always seems like it's about to happen. FAIL. Never ever compare that joke to Willie Mays. (BTW he is on Manny's nuts for like 5 posts on his page)
PS: In case you haven't noticed, Brandon Ware is incredibly entertaining with his posts. I suggest reading them frequently. Lulz.

This one was slightly amusing/distrubing: Who wats to lay wit me tonite, I’m mad lonely?
CornleySmash
This is not good: This might be one of the worst days of my life. I’m about to lose my mind right now. Trying to stay positive as much as possible.
yikes
wtf is that about?
"We hugged as grown men do. It was a great moment. Then, it was business as usual." -- LJ Sr.
well his previous comments were about "passing the torch"
and his last sit-down. Maybe he’s sad leaving basketball behind?

Whatever happened to him playing football?
How could we lose with Zug and CORNLEY SMASH on the field?
Are ya'll really trying to analyze twits?

Only a twit
Doesn’t know a tweet is a tweet.
Cmon SN2.0, you’re better than this ;)

Hold on, hear the man out...
while a tweet is a post or status update on Twitter I would be willing to argue that the people posting said tweets should be called twits (well, not to their faces, especially large athletes that could break me into multiple rahpsu92’s).

Shouldn't 'In case anyone cares' be a default preface to every tweet ever made?

only if "no" immediately followed it for 99.5% of all tweets (and that may be generous)
it is a humorous fad to follow them now, but once people get over it, and Twitter falls into it’s normal place, it will mainly be used as an update to immediate friends, and perhaps for organizations to broadcast news items.

Yeah, JNitt, don't be a...
But, I do agree with JNitt on this one, the majority of twitter posts are pointless, stupid, or just so far out of context that you have no reason to ponder their meaning. If it was something profound, witty, funny, or just relaying something cool that happened, I have no problem with Twitter, like this post from DC17:
May even golf tomorrow weather permitting lol…you can jus feel it around here that football so close…I can’t really describe it..
but unfortunately, the majority are things like this, also from DC17, and not edited:
No! Hahah
That’s not shortened, that was the whole post. Actually Clark is one of the better ones, maybe just because he’s so awesome, but he actually relays cool stuff like being at the Elite 11 camp with a bunch of other BCS QBs. That being said, I still can’t convince myself to join Twitter, or follow someone’s posts religiously since it’s overwhelmingly stupid, like the 99.5% you mentioned.
sometimes I think of joining twitter just to follow some of the good...tweeters?
but I can’t tihnk of a single thing that I’d ever really want to post. Well I could probably think of a handful of things over the course of the year, but not enough to warrant using it regularly.
It is also interesting to see when people use them as basically an IM service. Don’t you already have some IM program? Similar phenomenon wiht facebook updates and wall posts. Why do people feel the need to have “public” conversations? I try to use private messages as much as possible, because I just can’t believe anything said in a 1 to 1 correspondance is of any interest to non-stalkers out there

I will add that a lot
of what is posted on Twitter is spur of the moment. I refuse to sign up simply because I will regret 99.9% of what I would tweet.
I couldn’t imagine tweeting “just hooked up with these two girls – shared a blunt, I am awesome!!!” then finding out my Mom or my boss was reading this stuff.

Your mom wouldn’t be proud of you? Your boss either? Dude, you could totally tweet that here and get mad props.

I don't really "get it" either
But I really have to shake my head at those who use it like a blog and have posts that havr to be spread across four or five tweets because of the 140 character limit.
“Hey look I’m on twitter!”
It's kind of like using
a fanshot when you should really be taking your windbag routine over to the fanposts. Who was it that just banged out a 500 word fanshot?
One man doing the work of 100's for the good of 1000's
I believe you are referring to me
Was this the post you meant?
That was 152 words, thank you very much. If you were referring to that one, I didn’t think it deserved a fanpost. Madeira is a doucheabag, it’s not exactly breaking news.
It's really hard to explain the benefit
of Twitter beyond IMs and boring updates. But I have met (and I mean in real life, people I hang out with) tons of very cool people since I moved to Houston, all through Twitter. I have gotten lucrative photography gigs through Twitter, all because I’ve built up a network of local people who are very well connected. I’ve won all kinds of free stuff too. I also use it as a replacement to my RSS feed reader, because the best blog posts and new articles are read, endorsed, and tweeted about by someone who’s opinion I value. It’s a trust game, you learn a lot about someone from the kind of information they share…and I’m mostly not talking about 20 year old football players who don’t have the maturity to understand how to use Twitter as a tool to market themselves. It’s more than just amusing to me.
Ok, stepping off my soapbox.
Hold the phone
you can win free stuff on twitter? Like food and gift certificate type free stuff, or just crap?
I have won a few free meals from Qdoba thanks to Twitter
That alone makes it worth it for me. Also, Irving’s has their own twitter which they use for updates and special offers. So, yes, it does have some value.
Yes, I use Twitter, sometimes for mindless things, other times to keep in touch with friends and relatives who are far away (which will soon be all friends/relatives, seeing how I’m going to be the one moving to Milwaukee this weekend). It has its uses, and ways to abuse it as well.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Remember the old joke...
I don’t remember the whole thing but the end goes like this:
Employee: You’re transferring me to Milwaukee! All they have in Milwaukee are whores and hockey players!
Boss: My wife is from Milwaukee.
Employee: Oh yeah. What position does she play?
I always go back to the quote from Dogma
Bethany: Were they sent to hell?
Metatron: Worse. Wisconsin. For the entire span of human history.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
How's this for cool?
I won a bucket of St. Arnold’s beer on Twitter, because I said that the song that most reminded me of this particular coffeeshop/bar was One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. You may not be familiar with St. Arnold’s, but it’s good stuff, not cheap. Claimed my free bucket during a nice live music singer/songwriter thing on the patio of said bar…where I can also Tweet my food and drink orders and have them delivered :)

That's a crapshoot though
Sometimes, the Rambler threads are gold, and other times, it’s essentially an argument with it’s own self-awareness, which only makes it stronger.
We really should stop talking about it
we’re probably inflating it’s ego.

Well to be honest, did you really think of “You found us!”, or possibly just expand the idea from someone???

No. No. NO.
They stole that from me, and I stole it from Mark Hasty. And he probably stole it from someone else.

Reminded me of this....
Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?
Ted: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video.
Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7… Minute… Abs.
Ted: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you’re going.
Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin’ there, there’s 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Ted: I would go for the 7.

That's great until...
someone comes out with 6 minute abs.
No, no, no, you can’t get a good workout in only 6 minutes. It’s all zbout 7 minutes, man.

You’re thinking is only as good as your programmer gave you. You may want to blame Curley or Iowa for this.

If Rambler gets this kind of upgrade, we’ll all be in need of some serious (good) Terminator protection.
