I’VE CANCELLED MY J-E-T-S JETSJETSJETS TWEETUH!!!
The Obligatory Twitter Metrics For Monday Night Football’s Blown Call
- 1M tweets generated by the final play of last night’s Packers/Seahawks game, and most of them included some pretty colorful language according to the folks at Twitter.
- 150k retweets of comments made by Packers guard TJ Lang, including “Got f—ked by the refs.” and “F—k it NFL.. Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs.” Something tells us that most fans’ anger isn’t going to disappear anytime soon. source
150,000 retweets? I believe it. Even fans of Da Bears were upset at that final call.
New England’s Chad Ochocinco had a bad day today. His car got broken into, his wallet was taken, but it gets worse. We’ll let him tell you himself through this video and if you want more, follow along over on his twitter.

It’s a bit dated now, seeing how the holiday was on Sunday, but this is too good not to share. Even late.
Osi Umenyiora and LeSean McCoy love to try and get under each others skin. Well played Osi.
Draft Day. Here it is. Man, this feels good. The only day of the year where every single team gets better. Every fan has something to look forward to.
Here’s a new wrinkle. The NFL Network and ESPN has reached an agreement to not show any potential draft picks on the phone. In years past you always knew the next pick because they would be the player talking on the phone to their new team (sometimes agent). This would happen minutes before the pick was announced by the commissioner. This year, you won’t see any of that on tv, or so we are being told. The idea being that it will be a complete surprise when Goodell announces the pick.
That is unless you are following the draft on Twitter which will surely break the news the moment it unfolds in real time.
The New York Jets medical staff surprisingly have a different opinion on Peyton Manning’s condition.
By the way, has there ever been a Super Bowl week distraction that’s not about either team that’s actually playing?
Aaron Rodgers on pace to finish the season 896-of-960 for 12,032 yards and 192 TDs. I have to check but I think those would all be records.

Don’t be fooled, this Aaron Rodgers is one bad dude.

Dear Dad
It’s funny enough that Ocho is offering to pay for fines that he doesn’t agree with but the fact that he refers to Goodell as “Dad” is why I’m posting this.
