***Looks at the BN Twitter feed from last Saturday... hmmm...***

I hate the people that watch any type of sporting event and then give the play by play on twitter. Really wish it would end.

Meanwhile, Michael Sam was signed by the Dallas Cowboys to their practice squad.  Jarrad Page had a quick thought, and yes, he did play in the NFL:

Media makin it bad for Sam. The more coverage they give him the harder it will get for him to keep a job. Nobody wants 2 hear abt a rookie..

— Jarrad Page (@JarradPage44) September 3, 2014

24/7 in the lokerrom. Rookies need to keep a low profile.

It's official.  Steve-16, immortalized:

The US Open is definitely a unique experience:

Well that was a pretty incredible first Ashe experience. Fed is a legend, can't believe I got to witness that

— Clay Thompson (@ClarenceAThomp) September 5, 2014

Clay was watching Roger Federer come back from two sets down to defeat Gael Monfils.

This is definitely a missed opportunity.

.@Nachocheese you're doing everyone a great disservice by not letting me control this twitter account

Seriously, it could be life altering. Go Bruins.
