    Clutch, suffice it to say you are NOT our core demographic...

    Here's the thing: The entire careers of many on this message board and beyond are built upon following something that absolutely doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, right up to the Pulitzer prizes for Red Smith, Dave Anderson and Jim Murray.

    It's too late for me to get into nuance about what people should and shouldn't be interested in.

    If you're talking about making this a better world, they shouldn't be interested in the final score of the Super Bowl.

    People want interaction though. So if it is constant promotion and brand-pimping it will just get lost.

    Injuries and other stuff that isn't announced on TV.

    It's also great to use if you are at a game and have no idea what is going on. I remember being at the Michigan/Miami of Ohio game in 2003 or 2004. Took me 30 minutes to figure out why freshman Chad Henne was on the field as I called everyone I knew. If had Twitter on my phone, I would have had it.
