Terrell Owens is being fined…again. This time, however, it isn’t for trash talking or arguing with the coach. He is being fined $25,000 for tweeting too close to game time. His tweet was to reward a loyal fan with an autographed souvenir during the game, but broke the NFL’s “No tweeting within 90 minutes of the start of a game” policy. I was personally unaware of that rule but at least TO’s finally playing nice. Now he just needs a rulebook.
Fun Fact: the tweet was exactly 25 words… meaning that it cost him $1,000/word.

that's pretty awesome that TO of all football players would get fined for this. I can't believe its 1000k per word!!! WOW!!!!!!
Why does it matter if the players tweet within 90 minutes of the game? If anything, it makes them way more approachable and life-like...
So if TO were to not put a space between any words, would that only count as one word, thus only be a $1000 fine?
I'm not T.O's biggest fan, but the NFL is really starting to go overboard. I wonder who has the job of monitoring player's tweets. Anyway, T.O does need to get off of Twitter and concentrate on making more catches. Poor Jordon Shipley, he deserves to be on a winning team.
