Officially, Jordan Spriggs is my “Dumbest Person on the Planet” award winner for this week. Why? The Auburn football player tweeted the following: “man who is good at writing papers??????????? I pay” You have got to be kidding me. Come on. Athletes, consider this a warning for those of you out there that are dumb enough to think nobody watches what you do. Twitter is not just for your buddies. Facebook is not just a tool for you to use when you’re trying to meet some foxy ladies on campus. EVERYONE can see what you’re writing. That includes coaches, professors and the NCAA. Mr. Spriggs should expect a phone call, or a tweet, from head coach Gene Chizik very soon. Star athlete or not, you have to do your own homework. Imagine what would happen here if a state player did that. How would we respond if GJ Kinne tweeted: “Hey world. Just got this great new pill that makes me run faster!” Not that he would do that. That’d be ridiculous. How about Justin Blackmon. Say he tweeted: “Can’t believe I got away with stealing this! This leather jacket is nice” He’d be busted. Do these athletes not use their heads?? I tweet, occasionally. @Bobby_L I would never write something that would be inappropriate or illegal because, like we’ve talked about, it’s just plain dumb to do what Mr. Spriggs did. To All Oklahoma Athletes: DON’T DO ANYTHING PUBLICALLY THAT SHOULD BE SAID PRIVATELY! DON’T JEOPARDIZE YOURSELVES. YOU’RE SMARTER THAN THAT! Hopefully. Oh yeah. Follow us @Oklahoma Sports_Dot_Com
