February 26, 201016 yr ESPN has become like the E! and TMZ of the sports world. They overanalyze every small aspect of anything that even has potential to be controversial.
February 26, 201016 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) Ok ESPN, we get it, Ozzie has a twitter. I know. Mike Greenberg was such a spaz this morning, and then the PTI guys today were making a big f***ing deal about it (Ozzie actually sent a shout out to Wilbon, but...). It's no big deal, and Ozzie isn't as wacky and crazy as you always portray him to be. Shut up about it, and do another stupid story about Tim Tebow's nonexistent NFL career. /rant
February 26, 201016 yr I don't ever remember seeing news stories about an individual getting a twitter account.

I think they probably don't, it's probably a virus that travels through ESPN, but they sure act like it's an orchestration.

Rome, Around the Horn, and PTI all talk about exactly the same things (with the exception of Rome occasionally going off track and talking about some original subjects), and then they usually open Sportscenter with the same topics! I actually like most of the personalities on those shows (with Jay Mariotti being an exception) but they could vary the topics a little bit.
February 26, 201016 yr QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) Which is the best iPhone app to use Twitter? Try Echofon first. (there is a free and a pro version) I've used the free version for over a year and it does everything I need it to do. If all you have is one account and want to read what Ozzie, Merkin, and Teahen have to say, Echofon free should do the job. If that doesn't do enough for your needs, then I agree with the previously mentioned twitterific because I've heard good things about it.

Like remember that WHO'S NOW contest with T.I's Big Thangs Poppin' blaring in the background? ESPN radio 1000 is garbage as well.

February 26, 201016 yr yesterday was reporting and weigh in day, today is the first day of workouts for the entire squad.
February 26, 201016 yr "Looking for tickets to go to wrestlemania, I need help with that, they r way too expensive about 17 hours ago via web " He should probably ask A.J. He has decent wrestling connections. Someone tweet him this!
February 27, 201016 yr Ozzie now digging on Harold Reynolds..... mlb network guys awesome job..Harold R...can't have twitter account bc no one follow u lol
February 27, 201016 yr Ozzie Guillen, crime victim. http://twitter.com/OzzieGuillen/status/9751105301
February 28, 201016 yr i predict this will become the longest thread in soxtalk history. until they take away his twitter.
February 28, 201016 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Feb 27, 2010 -> 06:26 PM) i predict this will become the longest thread in soxtalk history. until they take away his twitter. I predict that by April 20th I will no longer be following Ozzie due to his 10 daily mundane tweets clogging up my time-line.

February 28, 201016 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) I don't get why this is such a big deal. Melissa Isaacson's article on ESPN Chicago about this was perfect.

If he gave you some White Sox stuff, that would be different. These guys are always talking about their privacy, in fact, Ozzie said himself the TV show will not be allowed to film at his home, yet throw crap like this out there only to fuel the flames of the people wanting more. He's going to wind up with probably over 100k followers, and probably at least 15k will actually think Ozzie is their buddy. I predict he grows tired of the whole thing and bags it at some point during the season. Edited February 28, 201016 yr by Dick Allen
