Twitter (e.g. Ron Flemons)

[Wobbler]

I know that some of you have expressed no interest in monitoring player activity on Twitter, and I admit that I sometimes regret reading players' posts. Sometimes all one learns is that a player is more of a doofus than previously suspected.

It is, however, rewarding from time to time. For example, Ron Flemons is a pretty funny guy: "No tvs on a 5 hr flight..no problem...I'm gonna find out about @ChadOwens2 childhood, @CVZ54 fav color n when @bwelltweets had his 1st kiss" (Thursday). Also, correcting friends on minor details is a trait dear to my heart; here's Ron correcting Mike Bradwell: "@bwelltweets: Chance for 1st place overall. What an opportunity. #gameday #Argos”....technically got to win by 10 points" (earlier this morning).

Funny, smart, and slightly pedantic... go Flemons!

Those of us living far from Toronto never get to see the players up close and it is difficult to get much sense of their personalities. Twitter can add a surprising amount.
