dsciambi Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/draft-2009/04/24/NFL.Twitter.ap/index.html NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL will look into teams revealing their draft picks on their Web sites and through Twitter even before commissioner Roger Goodell might have announced the selections. The San Diego Chargers plan to post their picks this weekend on their Web site as soon as they hand in the name card. The information could show up on the site before Goodell gets to the podium. New England also plans to use Twitter to announce its picks in real time. "After the draft, we will review how the teams are announcing their picks and determine whether we need to develop a policy," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Friday. The Patriots already are publicizing how their fans could get draft information before the rest of the football world. "We might even get a few draft picks out via Twitter before they are announced on TV, so any Patriots fans following the draft closely are encouraged to begin following RealPatriots on Twitter," Patriots spokesman Stacey James said. "Of course, this is the first time we are attempting this, so it should be interesting." Has anyone heard of the Redskins doing anything similar to this? With as large as the Redskins online community is (e.g. ExtremeSkins), I wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins did this. If anyone knows of plans/a link to this for the Redskins, please share it in this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsciambi Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 You know you'd be refreshing your browser every 3 seconds when the Redskins were on the clock, don't lie! I know that extra minute of waiting wouldn't make a difference, but I'd still like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If the Redskins Tweeted, then Larry Michael would probably be sending them out...YUCK! I don't see the Redskins announcing picks online. Larry Michaels isn't that hip. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I see this as the only year this could happen. I think the NFL will put a stop to it with some new policy after the draft is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
