Should athletes from or playing in Ohio be allowed to Tweet?
LeBron and his statements about God are causing waves of derision around the league. But remember how he started his odyssey:

The road to history begins now...



And who can forget TPeezy2, and some of his gems:

Now the fun starts! Adversity is a beautiful thing in a way. Wether in sports or in life! You all will face adversity. What's the next step

I almost got aborted before I was born. Keep babies, never know what he/she will become!


THE Ohio State Buckeyes face and overcome any adversity that comes our way! Brings us closer together As a team. And brings us closer 2 GOD




And then there's Chad Ochocinco, of the Bengals. Remember when he was in trouble for saying he was going to Tweet during games? (and why not; he clearly wasn't there to catch passes). Now, his coach is mean to him.

~Since the end of the last season, Ochocinco has alluded several times to his strained relationship with Lewis, who has either downplayed the situation or shrugged it off completely. But Ochocinco expounded on their issues Tuesday.

"I love Cincy, but coach Lewis is mean to me now so I think I am gone," Ochocinco tweeted.

"He has gone over board to publicly the one guy who loves him<.> ~



It's entertaining for the rest of us, but I think it's taking the edge of their games.

1. Last time I checked, none of them had tweeted their weiner. Thread over!
Weiner reference shuts down the thread!!

2. Nice try!
Just because Weiner shouldn't tweet, doesn't mean LeBron should have said he was on the Road to History.

Of all those tweets, that one is the WORST! What did he mean, exactly?

4. Speaking of weiners...


COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State University President Dr. E. Gordon Gee did not waste any time to address the school's football team problems during the school's spring commencement on Sunday.

Gee addressed nearly 9,700 graduates, and about 40,000 relatives and friends at Ohio Stadium.

"Let me acknowledge that many Buckeye hearts are heavy," Gee said. "On rare occasions, this great, grand building has been home to disappointment and tumult that is, but a temporary condition."

11. I wonder if future contract negotiations are going to address Tweeting
Some people really should have a No-Tweet clause written in!

14. Not to stick up for Ocho, but
One of the biggest mysteries in sports is how Marvin Lewis still has a job.
