“Reporters who are snarky on twitter athletes and coaches drive me crazy. Don't tweet something, which you cannot say to somebody’s face. We follow you (reporters) because you are a professional and your tweets should be about the report of the game you are at rather than your sense of humor.” -Kara Henderson on The Rich Eisen Show.
