Dave,

I see your point, other media are reporting on the games. But broadcasting the goings on are the sole province of the NFL. If Chad wants to write a column on Monday, fine. But to broadcast his own commentary during the game? I suspect it would violate the NFL’s contract with their broadcasting partners, though I have no proof of that.

Okay, how do you define “making plays”? First game of the season, Chad has 5 catches for 48 yards, no TDs. Is that making plays? After going 5-48-0, is Chad permitted to Twitter the second game? And what if Coles decides he too wants to play on Twitter during games; Game 1 Coles has 7 catches, 95 yards, 1 TD? Are both players permitted or not permitted to play on Twitter during Game 2? And Whitworth also decides he wants in on the action … during Game 1, he gives up 2 sacks of Palmer … is he permitted to Twitter during Game 2? Then Palmer wants in, too … first game he goes 14-28-1-1, they lose in OT, 31-28. Is Palmer allowed to Twitter in Game 2? So tell me exactly how you plan to define the minimum play-making achievement standards for each position to retain their Twittering rights for the following week?

As someone who has been in the “boss” seat with people working for/reporting to me, my $0.02 is simply this: if Chad is out there making plays, I don’t care if he’s on the sideline doing the dirty deed with the cheerleading squad during the game, or twittering, or dressing like cookie monster, or playing Xbox, or anything else.

If he’s not getting it done on the field, no sideline shennigans. It’s just that simple.

BTW, thanks for all the comments while I have been way, you guys rock.
