Another personal favorite Twitter story of mine has to be involving one of my favorite football players, Rob Gronkowski. This six foot six inch, two hundred and fifty pound stud tight end, recently posted a picture of himself, shirtless posing with adult film star, BiBi Jones. Ms. Jones was wearing Rob's jersey and the picture quickly was the front page of ESPN.com. Rob plays for the New England Patriots (My favorite team), and this is a big no-no with Patriots head coach Bill Belicheck. Staying out of trouble is considered the "Patriot Way". Stories like these are big no-no's in the Patriot locker room. The Patriots had a bye week, and this story is not one die-hard fans want to hear about players losing focus. Anyway, Gronkowski quickly apologized to the organization and media for embarrassing the team. Really though he embarrassed himself. If he knew this is something he should not be doing it should just be kept in his private life.
Another favorite player of mine, Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics caused some stirs on Twitter a few years ago. After winning the first two games of the an NBA Playoff Series against the Magic, Pierce posted "Anybody got a BROOM?" Pierce was referring to the possibility the Celtics would win all four games of the best of seven series without losing. Then Pierce proceeded to claim, “hacked in... while on podium. Disregard chatter." Ha ha ha. Mr. Pierce stick by your guns. You obviously meant to post this comment, stick to it and take the heat. Athletes need to take the responsibility of their actions especially on Twitter, but it would be nicer for them if they tried to stay out the news for once.
