I think it's good for the players, but the teams too? I'm not so sure.

Seems a bit odd. Just twittering? So they can update their facebook, myspace, blog or text but just can't Twitter? Like most things from the commissioner this decision doesn't sound very well thought through.

One more thing...

It would have been pretty funny if they made the announcement via twitter.

I think thats a good ruling. But he should make it clear that facebook, and anyothe site should be treated the same.

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?
