Things Athletes Should Tweet

Thanks to the new era of round-the-clock media access, camera phones and YouTube, athletes and celebrities alike have been more cautious than ever of just what they say or do publicly. That has led postgame interviews chock full of cheesy cliches and press conferences loaded with well-crafted speeches much like the one Mark Sanchez penned following the Jets' loss to Jacksonville Sunday. The result from all this pre-meditated jargon is a nation of fans unable to get a good grip on what athletes really think. Sure, every now and then you get some homophobic rant from a knucklehead like Larry Johnson, but that's few and far between.

That's why we here at BoomRoastedSports have taken it upon ourselves to delve hypothetically into the minds of athletes and offer up some things that they should say through the worldwide phenomenon known as Twitter so that fans and the media can get a better understanding of how they really feel. (Note: The Twitter names are made up. I'm not trying to get sued, you know.)

@TheAkronHammer: Even if I did quit basketball to play for the Browns this year, I would just sign with the Giants next season anyway!

@BostonHoodie: One bad call on 4th and 2 and you'd think I'm Eric Mangini or something!

@TheOtherARod: Big win against Dallas, this should turn our sea...(sacked by Jared Allen)

@TheAnswer: If you had to play for the Grizzlies, you'd have personal problems, too.

@ARoid13: Kiss the ring, bitch!

@LakeShowLamar: ANYBODY can date the pretty Kardashian sister

@RunReggieRun: For the 1,000,000th time, STOP CALLIN' ME RAY J!!!!

@BigMac25: That whole "not talking about the past" thing had to blow over by now, right?
