    Dennis Dodd is a piece of shit human being and one of the most unethical sports writers you'll ever meet. That's all I've got to say about that man I secretly aspire to be

    It's OK to tweet about some kids. Just depends on whom the parents are.

    Is this what we've come to: There's a girl from the Make-A-Wish Foundation shadowing Warriors sideline reporter Ros Gold-Onwude tonight. My first thought was "would anyone dare troll the kid?"

    That struck me as a tweet for other sportswriters, and for those you're much better off posting those here than actually on Twitter.

    I know Caraviello a little, not a bad guy by any stretch. But yeah, another Twitter success story.

    Yep. Twitter is designed to take apart journalists - regardless of what they say. And journalists are good at eating each other, too.

    Sweet lord, I don't know anybody who didn't die a little every time they saw this jowly little asshole and his parents at event level before a game in Nashville. It was cute the first time he did it. Every game thereafter? Not so much.

    I especially loved the people who would post this on Facebook, Twitter, etc., and say "He does it even better than Kurt Russell." Um, no, he doesn't

    Twitter may be a cesspool and filled with hidden dangers but it is useful and especially useful for reporters/columnists to build their "brands."

    Facebook, to me, is more of a way to communicate with your friends and family.

    Though one friend I went to high school with posted recently that she was on Facebook in the doctor's office waiting room.

    I guess she people could see her screen and she said she was gland hers was filled pictures of kittens, family and scripture.

    I think if I was at the doctor's office and that was my life, it better be Dr. Kevorkian.
