Get the message: Teams crack down on Twitter

DAVIE, Fla. -- The only tweets during the Miami Dolphins scrimmage Saturday will come from the officials' whistles.
The Dolphins are at the forefront of an NFL clampdown on Twitter and other social media, with new restrictions imposed on players, reporters and even spectators.
Miami's secretive Bill Parcells regime prohibits fans and media at training-camp practices from tweeting, blogging or texting. At least six other teams have also imposed such restrictions on reporters, even though the workouts are open to the public.
Honestly I'll be the first to tell you that I'm not exactly "twitters" number 1 fan, but for the love of all good things Holy, lighten up people! If anything twitter is giving fans access to their favorite players and teams like nothing else before it. In my opinion that generates excitement because you are always up to date on the latest happenings, which creates buzz, which results in more viewership and hell it may be a stretch here, but that can even result in more revenue...I'm just saying...its not the craziest result!

Another reason why they call the NFL the No Fun League.
