Here Is Why Brandon Weeden Is Not on Twitter Anymore

Let me clarify, Brandon Weeden is technically on Twitter. He just doesn’t use it and hasn’t for a long time. He explained why recently to the Dallas Morning News.

“I do a good job of blocking everything out, ” Weeden said. “I deleted Twitter a long time ago. I don’t do any of that crap.

“I was pretty interactive in college,” Weeden said.

This is true. I remember interacting with him over stuff I’d written pretty quickly after games. Nothing I wouldn’t have done if I was him, but it probably had to change at some point as a pro.

“I remember everybody that always talked crap, they never had a picture of themselves. It was some cartoon or something, and it was always probably a 12 year old kid that damn sure never played quarterback, and damn sure never played quarterback in the NFL. I don’t need that kid telling me, ‘What the hell you thinking throwing to this guy?’ I don’t need that.”

That entire mini-rant made me laugh.

“I’m 32 years old. I don’t need a 12 year old telling me how to play quarterback.”

Oh, there are 22-year-olds and 42-year-olds now, too. But I like that. If I was an athlete, I would really have to evaluate the benefit of being on social media. Or at least pay somebody to run my account for me like Tommy B.
