Interactions with beat writers/reporters on Twitter.

is a real POS. Nothing he does surprises me. Ive only had passing responses to questions ive asked on twitter, but most reporters seem pretty cordial. Again Isola is whiney baby who seems to think its his job to bring as much negativity to the world as he can.

they had a mystery reader program in school, where a parent, grandparent, etc. of a student would be "the mystery reader". the class had to guess who the mystery reader was then the person read them a story.

I was the mystery reader the Thursday or Friday before SBXLVI. I read Justin Tuck's children's book Home Field Advantage.

It was Tom Brady day at her school. Almost all the kids (and faculty) had Patriots gear on except my daughter who had a pink Eli Manning jersey.

Anyway, I read the story, the kids loved it (none knew who Justin Tuck was) and when I told them who he was and took off my coat and I had a Giants Jason Sehorn jersey (my only Giants jersey) and then tried to get them to convert to Giants fans, the teacher stepped in.

The teacher took a picture of me reading the Justin Tuck book to a class full of 6/7 year old Patriots fans a few days before the Super Bowl and tweeted it and I retweeted it with @Justin tuck.

he retweeted it and sent me a note.

I thought it was cool. And I am a crusader against having athletes as role models, but Tuck is possibly one exception.

Also I've interacted with many hockey beat writers all on twitter and have had really good experiences, I have tweeted some insulting/criticism to baseball HOF writers like Sean McAdam or Tony Massarotti in Boston for their ridiculous HOF ballots and even trolled Keith Law with a few Tim Tebow questions (in jest - he used to be the absolute worst person to follow, but he's mellowed a lot), but I've never "gotten into it" with anyone.

What I've learned is the more you interact with people on Twitter, the more likely you are to have problems. So I tend to use Twitter only to convey updates and information.

There have been some in the tech industry who have come out and warned folks about what social media is doing to minds and how people interact socially. Most people are fine, but some of the people who have connected with me on Twitter publicly or privately have serious issues.

He's quickly made the transition to sports radio host without having a show. He's a personality, not a worker.

I use twitter as a news feed for the most part. Though I do like using twitter to tweet out questions to radio shows too. I get questions answered for some of them too.

Always has been, always will be

He's a poor man's Skip Bayless who focuses mainly on NY sports.

So is Neil Best.

Kim Jones too. Some are professional, smart, and personable. Others are Isola.

he responds to every tweet, and most of it is trolls or fans that just don't get it. It's too toxic.
