"In this day and age, all it takes is one dimwit, loser, scumbag with no manners, no shame and no brain to make an entire fanbase look bad.  Twitter makes everything, oh, so easy.Before diving into this one, let me make a few things clear:First, I don’t understand people who use Twitter to curse left and right.  I was raised in such a way that I wouldn’t want the whole world to see me tossing F-bombs around left and right."

"My first reaction to Tennessee’s hiring of athletic director Dave Hart: How can he distinguish himself?By juggling the administrators beneath him? By putting an elevator in Lindsey Nelson Stadium?By tweeting incessantly?Hart’s options were limited when the former Florida State athletic director signed on with the Vols in September of 2011.Athletic directors make their mark by the firing and hiring of coaches. And Hart had no apparent targets."
