Tweet of the Day: George Wrighster

I haven't posted one of these in quite a while. In fact, I've only done this a couple of times in all. But, it's back!

Today's 'Tweet of the Day' was posted just minutes ago by a player who could be considered an "unknown" player to the casual fan. George Wrighster, a former NFL tight end (for Jacksonville and the New York Giants), now plays for the Las Vegas Locomotives in the United Football League (UFL). Here's what he had to say about the Cowboys' performance from yesterday, which resulted in another heartbreaking loss:

"The Cowboys have 2 excessive celebration penalties after TDs but only 1 win...#BadRatio"

Ouch, that one had to hurt Big D. Wouldn't you agree, Tony Romo?

Tweet of the Day: Thurman Thomas

Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas brought up a great point on his twitter account. With the preseason starting tonight, the former Buffalo Bill and Miami Dolphin pointed out that Darrelle Revis, Jets' shutdown corner, is still holding out of camp while all 32 of the draft's first round picks are signed and in their respective camps.

His exact  words:

"All these kids have signed their contracts and REVIS HAS TO HOLDOUT... JETS STINK"

Personally, I completely agree with Thomas. I hate seeing guys holdout, let alone 25 year olds that have played just three NFL seasons like Revis. For this reason, I am very glad all the first rounders have signed contracts and aren't holding out.

I'm sure New York would love to have Revis in camp, but it doesn't seem as though they are too worried about it at the current moment.

Tweet of the Day: Braylon Edwards to Larry Fitzgerald

After doing my daily Twittering (FYI: I only have a twitter account so that I can follow what former and current NFL players and personnel are up to, and to do a little advertising for this blog) I came across an interesting tweet between two receivers.

Edwards, the current New York Jet, posted a funny comment on Arizona Cardinal Larry Fitzgerald's profile. He said, "I heard you been skoolN (exact spelling) @KerryRhodes lol he needs it haha."

All this really means is Larry Fitzgerald is his normal self, you know, burning DBs like it's his job. I just thought it was cool to see a little bit of friendly competition between former teammates (Braylon and Kerry) and opposing players.

Tweet of the Day: Andre Johnson

In celebration of Houston Texans wide out Andre Johnson's 29th birthday today:

"It's my birthday and I'm very thankful to have a great family and friends and very thankful to have been bless for 29 years."

Happy birthday to Johnson, who is one of the best, yet highly underrated, wide receivers in the league. Expect big numbers yet again this season from Matt Schaub's favorite target.

Tweet of the Day: Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay's franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers had this to say after NFL Network analyst, and former NFL player, Jamie Dukes left him off his list of top five NFL QBs:

"He's never been a fan of mine. His rankings are about as important to me as the oracle octopus's world cup picks."

Ouch, I know that one hurt , Jamie. This is especially shocking because of the fact that Mr. Dukes included the 33-year old Donovan McNabb in his list. McNabb, of course, has seen better days and will be under center for the Skins this season, which leads to cause of concern for fans everywhere.
