Use another medium rather than that absolute total piece crap that is twitter.

I still for the life of me can't figure out why another company hasn't re-created twitter without the stupid 140 character limit. This isn't text messaging (which is also moot with web access on smartphones these days)

Twitter & Text Messaging = Logic FAIL.

If you don't like Twitter, then don't bother opening a thread entitled "tweets." Wait for the full write up to come along. Just because you don't care for the way in which he types in twitter, doesn't mean that is the case for many others. If you could get over your apprehension towards it, you'd see that it is a great way to get news INSTANTLY. The information is nearly real time and the price you pay for that is 140 characters and short hand typing.

Todd Archer needs to write in English. This is ridiculous.

He's old, old people can't text. It's fairly common.

I'm looking for information. That is why I open the thread. I couldn't get a rats *** that someone pulled it off twitter. I just don't like twitter.

As for the short hand typing, you could publish War and Peace in short hand and post it somewhere. That has nothing to do with Twitter. People use short hand in Twitter because the medium sucks and you have no choice because of the 140 character limit! That was the WHOLE POINT of why I don't like it.

Why do they limit it to 140 characters? Never understood that.

IMHO, the limit of 140 characters does two things.

First, it makes Twitter unique.

Second, it limits the amount of data that is on Twitter's databases as well as bandwidth, limiting costs.

@calvinwatkins Leonard Davis is the player of the game. It wasn't always pretty but studying the game, he played well against Suh.

:

Davis was better after the holding penalty in the endzone, but to that point he was pretty awful and IMO was barely average afterward.

Colombo may have been worse than Davis. But the two best OL Sunday IMO (by far) were Free and Gurode.
