Dead-zone question/comment for a couple of web journalists. I get almost all my news online, sports and otherwise. It is common for a news story to report a tweet(s), and they will quote the tweet(s) verbatim in the article and then show the actual tweet(s), which is redundant and annoying. This is a peeve of mine, and maybe there is a valid reason for this, and if so, please let me know. Maybe some browsers don’t show embedded tweets?

There is a valid reason for this – you can’t derive clicks from a tweet, especially if it wasn’t your tweet. So, we’re seeing more and more aggregators posting tweets and bits of information that often show up on your Facebook wall with some scandalous headline like “Five things the Packers want you to know about Mike Spofford (and five things they want you to forget).” We are living in interesting times, indeed.

Given the opportunity to watch any single game film broken down by all-time great coach(es) or player(s), what game would you choose and who would do the breakdowns? If Vic is/was the Southern Oracle, who would you be, Bastian, Atreyu, Falkor?

I’d be Carl Coreander in the bookshop, telling kids to buzz off and not play so many video games. I’d love to sit down with Vince Lombardi and break down the Ice Bowl – what the Packers’ plan was, how they adapted to the frozen field and the challenge of keeping your men motivated when those weather conditions would have made a weakling like me…
