07:31 AM ET 07.15 | Cynics, enjoy this grist for the mill: Darnell Dockett and Kerry Rhodes, chirping each other on Twitter, were just playing. [Larry Fitzgerald] says the Dockett-Rhodes dispute wasn't motivated by animosity between the two. It was motivated by an attempt to increase their follower count. ... "They're trying to get their Twitter followers up, and they're doing it." So competing for Twitter followers is the kind of thing players have to satisfy themselves with in the summertime, when there's no competition on the field.

I suppose you could look at it this way - better they are killing time with their Twitter accounts than assault, DUI, being associated with a shooting or breaking into a donut shop at 3:00 AM.

I love that this stunt was all done to gain "followers", Twitter sounds like some kind of cult. Just what we need, a cult of NFL players. Wait a minute... We've had one for years...

Yeah, why would anyone do that? I mean, it's like breaking into a police station. Chief Wiggum and company would protect it like their own homes. BETTER than their own homes.

A good donut is worth I'ts weight in gold. Especially if you're wasted at 3AM.

But, you can't find good donuts anymore. Ever since the food notsies made them change the recipes to get rid of the trans fats or whatever, I can't tell where the donut ends and the cardboard box begins. More brilliance from Washington. (The government, not the Skins. No team with Albert Haynesworth on it would ever mess with donut recipes.)

Nice screen name, by the way.
And a lot of guys have boobs and butts for their avatars. It's nice to see some legs for a change.
