It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Does Goodell just put ideas like this on a target and throw darts in order to choose what ridiculous rule he wants to come up with today? 90 minutes prior to kickoff, I would hope that my team is in the locker room or out on the field doing last minute preparations/stretching/throwing and catching passes/practicing kicks and punts/etc. instead of tweeting. If there are players using Twitter during this time then it's the fault of a bad coach.
Agreed. Maybe it's a slow newsday for the NHL. Either that, or he's upset about the all Favre, 24/7 soap opera taking face time away from him?
I agree; this is out of Goodell's jurisdiction. Very police state. As another poster said, it's the responsibility of the team to make sure its players are focused pre-game and not tweeting.
That said, I can kind of understand them ruling this is the case for players, as it's getting a bit silly, but for the NFL to tell teams and their PR departments they can't disseminate information to their fans whenever they want? Total BS.
Sounds like a good rule to me. Players shouldn't be tweeting just before or during a game, so a league-wide rule that they can't makes sure all teams use the same rules. NOthing worse than one team allowing stuff the rest of the teams don't allow.
If the owners don't like this rule, they can over rule Goodell any time they want.
I don't understand why anyone (other than media whores like TO and 85) would get upset that tweeting isn't allowed. But then, I'm a geezer.
Question: Is it just for Twittering on the sidelines, or does it also encompass Twittering from the press box and overhead covered areas around the stadium.
Just asking.
