Manning to the Broncos, Tebow to be traded

It was announced today that Peyton Manning will go to the Denver Broncos and "beloved" quarterback Tim Tebow will be traded. I am very interested to see what all of the Tebow/Bronco bandwagon fans will do now. Will they follow their quarterback somewhere else or are they going to have to learn the names of more Broncos? This NFL off-season has proved to be a very interesting one and I can not wait for the season to start.

Social Media Connects Athletes and Fans

We've all had those days, especially Mondays, that we just need some motivation to be productive. Before getting ready for the day, I went through my usual routine of checking up on twitter. I decided to tweet at Steelers WR Antonio Brown about his 'Chest Up, Eyes Up, Prayed Up' philosophy. To my surprise, I was retweeted by Brown minutes later. The impact social media sites have had on the relationship between professional athletes and their fans is remarkable. The simple click of a button that acknowledged that Brown read my post made my day.

A few other interesting posts have been made on twitter by other Steelers as well. James Harrison has been commenting on the current issue going on with the Saints. I am a huge fan of Harrison and love to read his comments on issues in the NFL. I also noticed this morning that a representative of Hines Ward had posted on his account a message of defiance against the decision to release the WR. The post was removed, but 96.1 took a screen shot of the post to allow viewers to see. It is definitely worth checking out!
