Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has been spending his time this offseason traveling around the world and more recently, goofing around on twitter. When he’s not busy dancing the Haka with the New Zealand rugby team or entering planking …
Arizona Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett is one of the most humorous athletes on twitter. All you have to do is check his inappropriate twitter bio to know what kind of goofball he is. He’s like the Howard Stern of athletes on twitter — no …
A.J. Francis is a defensive lineman at Maryland and he was dubbed by DC Sports Bog the best tweeting athlete in the DC-area. One of his tweets this weekend apparently caught the eye of the school’s compliance director, as the Bog pointed out: …
After LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat last summer, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert boldly stated his team would win a championship before LeBron. The prediction seemed asinine (and I still believe it is), but after the Heat lost …
