I’m getting a little bit addicted to these “Twitter chats” hosted by Verizon Wireless and its NFL Mobile app. However I do find them a little hard to follow in real time since the delay between the fan-tweeted question and the NFL player reply is often interrupted by a bunch of new tweets — meaning that you tend to lose the question before you get the answer. Our solution? Highlights! Call us the SportsCenter of Twitter chats. We don’t mind. Here’s some of the better exchanges between fans and Pittsburgh Steeler LaMarr Woodley, who is a Twitter animal — looks like he replied to every question posted.
Here’s Woodley hyping NFL Mobile: Nice sponsor move LaMarr!
Here’s a radio show host asking if Woodley likes other Pittsburgh teams (and his reply):
A collegiate question, and Woodley’s Penn State smackdown w/LOL
One fan asks if it feels better to sack Brady or Flacco. Woodley replies with a menu selection.
Then of course, the obligatory “what’s on yer iPod” question.
Also noticed that the spam questions with links to porn sites did not appear… is that some good editing performed by Twitter and Verizon?
