Obviously that is not right either. Especially in the midst of a close game when you should be focusing. For each snapshot of these guys making jokes, there are 50 other snapshots not shown with players and coaches actually talking strategy and trying to win a game.

 

If you are a big boy boss and you want your employees nailing the Thursday afternoon presentation, when it becomes your partner's turn to speak for a couple minutes, you do not want the other guy in front of everyone else tweeting.

 

Do I think this would play a deciding factor in a game? Most likely not. But being a professional requires some degree of professionalism.

 

Yeah, and do you all really think he's talking about every single time he's not on the field? If he sends a couple a game, what does it hurt?

If they're game related, how so?

 

I didn't realize cracking jokes on the sidelines was keeping your head in the game....:idunno:

 

 

Have you ever played organized football UKMF?

That has nothing to do with anything, but apparently you're going to keep asking until I answer, so...no I have not.

Thanks, and that's all I need to know.

So predictable....

I am not one to say you had to play sport X or sport Y to have an opinion, UKMustangfan. 99.99% of us have no pro sports experience and we can talk about it and have fun with it all day long... with that said, having played and coached organized football, I think your feelings might possibly change if you had. And having done both, the most critical moments of a football game come when players come off the field. Wasting that time, whether it be drinking gatorade in silence at the end of bench, laughing, or tweeting is not a good thing. Games are often won or lost when on the sidelines. Tweeting may not lose any games for you, but I have hard time believing it is helping you win any games.

So predictable....

 

 

Yes you are.

This is getting good!

 

My dad can beat up BOTH of your dads

My dad is Chuck Norris. End of debate.

Darn it. I was hoping you had shut down the thread.

 

As for Chad....this seems unprofessional (as I post this from work ) Hopefully it doesn't affect his play, because it certainly affects my performance.

As to your first line, I agree, but apparently I don't understand the game of football, because I didn't play when I was 10...:idunno:

 

As for the rest, I understand that perspective. You've admitted that the other things they do, such as the joking, etc, are wasting time. If you feel those things are bad, and feel the same about tweeting, I have no problem with it.

 

It's the people who are hypocritical who say those things are fine, but that tweeting isn't that aren't using sound logic.

I guess I've missed it. Who is being hypocritical, and has said that sitting on the sidelines telling jokes, etc.. is fine?

That makes two of us....:lol:

I really don't see how this couldn't be a distraction. It definitely does NOT help the team.

 

Why would you want to do anything during a game that didn't help the team?

 

If Chad starts doing it, what if others around him want to start doing it? What if, instead of focusing on the next series, or the current series, they are focusing on whether or not Chad is going to tweet. Or what if they are asking Chad what he tweeted about?

 

I understand that football players sometimes joke around on the sidelines, but during my experiences in football, the only time we ever joked around on the sidelines was if we were up by 40 points. Otherwise, we focused on the task at hand.

 

I do notice guys laughing and joking around on the sidelines sometimes, but I also notice some of the great players discussing strategy and looking over pictures of the defense/offense, getting ready to go back out and make the necessary adjustments needed to win.

 

When I think of whether or not it's a good idea, I think of this. Would a proven player, who knows how to win championships do it? Would Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Hines Ward, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning do this? I doubt it, because they'd rather focus on winning.

I'm also a Fan of Chad...When he says such things like moving in with Carson, or getting a tattoo on his face who falls for that...If the whole NFL shut up and play it would be boring. Let the man Keep entertaining people that’s why he gets paid so much.

 

I am all about him doing this. I want him to be another reason the Bengals are refered to as the Bungals... He is a cancer in the lockerroom and I'm sure his teammates are sick of him.
