Bruschi to Ochocinco: 'Join the system, buddy'

[RayClay]

Leigh Bodden and Julian Edelman seem to be setting records in comparison to Ochocinco.

They work 10 hours a day just like you. Why can't they relax?

Not setting records on the field right now, are they? Spikes is a hell of a tweeter too.

Ironic that I'm the one talking about football (and bs in this thread).

It's obviously not forbidden, but I always like how our team didn't talk until they took care of business. Now people are yakking 24/7, whether it's a tweet or a twat.

Twitter and Facebook weren't even created back in the Pats Super Bowl heydays. The world changes. It's not like they're on there talking garbage to the rest of the league. You just sound like a bitter old man.

Personally don't care if Chad Bungie jumps naked from the Han**** Tower as long as he's focused on Sundays, so hopefully, he'll start to look more like a starting receiver soon.

We have two starting receivers. Their names are Branch and Welker.

Ochocinco was never brought in here to be a starting receiver. That was obvious and known to all Patriot observers from Day One.

 

[shmessy]

That's right. What's he making 5 million? I'll trade jobs and never tweet again.

Of course, I've never tweeted before, i think it's stupid.

Evidently.

They had reporters, it's the same thing, it's in public, possible BBoard material.

And you had to go and hurt my feelings, you're so mean.

 

[RayClay]

Evidently.

I really don't get the point of telling a million people what you had for breakfast, not like it's a conversation.

I did follow it closely during the Iran uprising when they tried to cut off the internet. Very useful.

Possible BBoard material? It's pretty obvious you have no idea what goes on on Twitter. The Chargers are real pissed that Dane Fletcher is going to give game worn gear to some of his Twitter followers! The Jets have their board filled with Edelman tweets about where he and Gronk are eating dinner!

Welker's a slot receiver. If they go two wideouts, they'd go Chad or Price.

Yeah, well meals are fascinating, but that doesn't preclude someone spouting off, I'm sure it's happened.

Hey, if you enjoy it, more power to you.

Look, I'm far less concerned with his tweeting than I am with his unbelievably terrible diet.

Two wideouts wasn't their strategy on Monday night. So who actually "beat him out" so unexpectedly?

If he sends Pepto Bismol to an upcoming opposing CB, then I'll be all over him.

This, however, is ridiculous and petty.

I'd like to see a more engaged player than I saw in camp. He might have underestimated the learning curve, so we'll see.

I want him to succeed, he's a Patriot. I had serious reservations before hand and that's pretty much known from my posts.

Hopefully he focuses totally whatever way he needs to.

Huh?

Your arguments on this issue make no sense at all. Taking a few minutes a week to use Twitter is not the reason Johnson isn't fully up to speed with the offense. On more than one occasion, Zolak has spoken about how hard he sees Johnson working. The issue is either Johnson converting the effort mentally, or Johnson converting the effort physically. Neither has anything to do with whether or not he sends out a few characters over the internet telling the world that he thinks Brady is dreamy. the offense is *****en and the Patriots are awesome.

 

[shmessy]

Huh?

Tweeting positive stuff about his teammates is not disruptive.

Ochocinco used to actually send Pepto Bismol to next week opponent CB's (to prepare them for upset stomaches after playing him).

THAT would be bulletin board material.

Tweeting how impressed with Brady ain't it.

 

[Betterthanmost]

I think you guys are all having a good argument. What time zones are you all in? Quite late for me, going to have red eyes tomorrow. I am out.

 

[TB=TD]

We won't be getting anymore impact free agents or trades.

Why would they come here to be ridiculed by former players for tweeting harmlessly and praising teammates. Never mind the lack of recent playoff success.

Don't care really. Less talk of roomates and paying other people's fines seems good, maybe he needs to tweet all night to maintain focus, I don't know.

Just like to see him enthusiastic (during the game, about the game) and productive.

What Bru and Rodney think means more than what i think and i do listen to what they say, I think they've got a pretty good idea what makes the local team tick.

It's not even that good an argument, if you noticed. Just a few old stubborn mules arguing about nothing, not worth losing sleep over.
