If you missed Wednesday night’s #SSsports Twitter chat, here are some highlights below:
On officials and ESPN asking NFL head coaches to purposely take timeouts for commercials…
@arindru: TV TOs also give the stadium time to run their advert promos. But, making a coach take them is dumb. Next thing you know, a player will fake an injury so they can cut to commercial. #SSsports
@ronwahl: #SSsports about the timeouts, doesn’t the worldwide joke have enough clout to get officials timeouts
@deafmitchell: I am honestly surprised that NFL doesn’t have ads on everything. This first down is bought to you by “AUTOZONE” #SSsports
@zmorganII: i would love to have seen this t/o approach offered to Walsh, Ditka or Mora #1 #SSsports
@Trevor_Adams: Anybody watching a turkey of a game that late into it deserves all the misery they get. #SSsports
On the dangerous hits occurring in the NFL…
@avelarde2: too often we hear stories of kids with neck injuries or being paralyzed in HS/College bcuz of violent hits #SSsports
@revolvingrecord: Suspension might be the only thing that actually leads to change. Fines are nothing to these players. #sssports
@ABCHESSER: Being proactive to stave off Congressional action for safety? They could cite anti-trust exempt status to do so #SSsports
@SakuraChica: The players aren’t against protecting health. Against knee jerk response with little thought. #SSsports
@spacewill: NFL in bad situation,if players keep getting faster/stronger, only response is either soften game or equip change #sssports
Open MLB chat…
@mtread72: #Rangers-#Giants would be good baseball series between two “hungry” franchises-ratings be damned! #SSsports
@wassmans: Hamilton stays hot and wins world series MVP….what a story that would make #hambone #SSsports
@Gabriel_Montoya: Bud Selig is the love creation of these two men: http://bit.ly/dorVhv and http://bit.ly/9iB50Y #SSsports
@themirl: Re: Ryno…How many Hall of Famers have had great managing careers, let alone one with the team they played for? #SSsports
@spacewill: gratuitous Sterger reference, end of #SSsports chat is like looking at Sterger after her implants were removed
