I wonder what we'd think of history's greatest journalists if they had had Twitter.

I don't think it would be possible for most of them to limit themselves to 140 characters, even for a simple thought like "Go to hell."

I was just saying the guy who wrote the shortest short story might be good with 140 characters.

I'd also love to see George Orwell's tweets from the front line of Spanish Civil War.

I mean, he's stereotyping an entire city, but eh, who cares it's just a troll.

Although it's kinda dumb since his own city has the only other team in the NFL that's never started a black QB.

Boston has many nonwhite people that you seem to think either don't exist or don't count, which seems kind of problematic.

Got something good to talk about.

Dominque Foxworth, the former Broncos/Ravens/Falcons cornerback was on Barnwell's Monday podcast for the last half hour and went over a bunch of useful tells for reading what play is going to be run, and that he's running a weekly column on the undefeated analyzing all-22 footage of a team and talking about what they're doing on defense. He also dismisses a lot of the Josh Norman following guys around talk as utter nonsense which was interesting:

http://theundefeated.com/features/all-22-saints-v-giants/

quote:


4. Formation awareness.

The Saints’ only touchdown was on seam route to Willie Snead. The Saints fooled one of the safeties. The Giants were in cover 4 and the initial offensive formation had the tight end aligned to the offensive left, two backs in the backfield and two receivers to the right. Versus that formation, the tight end side safety should double-team the tight end with the cornerback. But that wasn’t the final formation. Before the snap, the fullback motioned to the right, past both receivers, creating a three-receiver formation and the threat of four verticals passing routes. When there are four eligible receivers near the line of scrimmage before the snap, the safeties are responsible for the two inside receivers if they run vertical routes. Of course they did. The safety didn’t recognize the fourth vertical threat, so he turned to double the tight end. Brees immediately recognized the mistake and found Snead wide open for the touchdown. I also thought that the defensive backs misplayed the Saints’ stack formations, but it didn’t hurt them. When receivers are “stacked,” aligned within a couple of feet of each other, inevitably one runs deep and the other runs a short route. The two defenders responsible for those receivers can “hi low” the stack. One defender bumps the first receiver at the line and sits there waiting for the short route and the other defender stands off of the line waiting to cover the deep route. It appeared that the Giants’ coaches didn’t give the defensive backs that tool. And as a result, the low guy was often open.
