Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Via Twitter: Darnell Dockett Wants to "Make it Rain"

Arizona Cardinals' defensive tackle Darnell Dockett has had his own Twitter account for just over two months and so far we've learned that he's cut his dreads off, enjoys Mike's Hard Lemonade (here and here) and supports Michael Vick's Dockett_headshot_mediumcomeback. He also thinks the Cardinals are the team to beat in the NFC West and that Bryant McFadden will definitely help the defense, but his most interesting tweet came yesterday evening when he said....

Why don't they have strip Clubs Here like they have in ATLANTA so I can make hurricane Katrina with this money. Make it RAAAAAIN.

We are assuming that this account really is Darnell Dockett considering that his agent, the Great Drew, recently announced him to the twitter world.

Star-divide

Maybe it's 'old man syndrome' but Twitter doesn't seem like the best way for some people to spend their time. What do you think about Twitter? Should NFL players put themselves out there like this?

Some comments are ok but...

I am not a huge fan of this. I don’t like the posting of “we’re the team to beat” type of stuff, I am glad these players are thinking that but I don’t think we should not be giving already motivated teams to have even more motive to beat us. The comments like Docketts with the strip clubs should also be kept to himself or not shared with everyone as I think it hurts his rep.

I don’t know call me crazy but I think these players would be better off just not having Twitter accounts and keeps things between himself and family/friends.

What an idiot

His ‘rep’ was already hurt, in fact he has never had a good rep with all of his on field antics (personal fouls) and his wanting to new contract with 3-4 years remaining and sitting out OTAs because of it. Dockett is a thug and if we could get someone of equal talent for him I would dump him in a heartbeat. “Make it rain with all this money”? If you ARE going to say something that ridiculous shouldnt it be after you sign a new deal? As far as I know he hasnt gotten one,… moron.

Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

Eh

The only reason we all have a bad view of “making it rain” is because of PacMan and as long as Dockett isn’t going into strip clubs with a gun, it’s not a big deal to me. He’s an adult and has every right to go to a strip club and throw money at less-than scantily clad women. Sure it’s not the smartest thing to do but I was actually more surprised to see him talking to Jamie Dukes about the 3-4 and how he doesn’t sound all that happy about moving to DE.

Of course, if I’m his PR guy I might just say “hey DD, let’s stick to the bout to go workout tweets and cut down on the strip club comments” but to each his own. There are far worse things he could saying.

I’m pretty sure I’d be losing my damn mind in the off season if I were in the NFL…

Is there an Ostrich festival in town

Are you people joking…The NFL is brimming with thugs! If you took an NFL player pole and asked have you done more in the last off season, a) Gone to Church b) Made it rain on some strippers and then taken them back to your humble mansion and ran a train on them with your homies. Warner is probably the only guy who could say church. Not to mention these peoples ego’s are so big, they would probably have no problems claiming the latter.

I agree that these people have a responsibility to act as role models for our youth. The sad fact is people without a moral compass just don’t care. At least not about anything exept their own personal gain and self gratification. So the moral is sc464, you can dump him but chances are you are replacing him with someone with equal character.

Here is a little background on our sweet innocent little Dockett,

by badmatty53 on Jun 18, 2009 10:11 AM MDT reply actions  

What is he doing?!?!?!?!?

The latest from DD (and for whatever reason Jamie Dukes seems to be agging him on) sounds like he’s got a countdown clock to get out of here…..

From Dukes 3 hours ago: @ddockett @QBKILLA Dock is talking about making it rain. He better hold on to the cash because the move to the 3-4 may get in his pocket.LOL

Response from Dockett: @jamiedukes lmfao, please dont say that if i cant be good at it then ill have to find somewhere else to go, only 2yrs left 32games

(QBKILLA is Warren Sapp by the way)

Hmmm...

I didn’t really care much about what I read here because, well, it’s the NFL and it is Dockett, not much of a surprise… However, I went to his profile and read some of his updates that really annoyed me… Example:

ddockett @RJSINGLETON09 yeah right this placse sucks (meaning Arizona)

I respect his opinion about the place, however, there is no way you are such a famous athlete and come out on twitter and say that the place you currently live because of your team sucks… I feel sorry for you DD for living in a place with not as many strip clubs and thugs to keep company with as in Atlanta (no offense to the city)…

Also…

RJSINGLETON09@ddockett i feel u on that I have been here a year and I am ready to ride out already!! only thing keepin m sane is we are in a sports town

where the teams are good, well at least yall were, the suns were garbage and who gives a damn about baseball or hockey lol

His response:
yeah they suck too (the teams)

Time to trade this @$$hole in Madden…

My body might be in Greece, but my mind and my heart is in Arizona. When the heck will I visit the Desert?

by Giannaros on Jun 18, 2009 12:24 PM MDT reply actions  

Wow, what a douche bag.

I have to agree he is getting traded when I get my copy of Madden.

by Pyromnc on Jun 18, 2009 1:21 PM MDT up reply actions  

I think I'd rather bench him to teach him a Madden lesson...

…if you trade him to another team then he can beat you at some point. I wish there was a way to intentionally injure him. Maybe make him PR and never fair catch it?

Lets send him to oakland, he can have all the strippers he wants there and play for a sorry team in a sorry city, how do you like us now DD?

The Bay Area is quite nice and most of the players live in Alameda.

I say send him to Cincy or Cleveland. Now those are sorry cities with even worse strip clubs. Although, I do have to agree with him in saying PHX’s strip clubs are horrible.

Reallly?

Is this that big of a deal? People are blowing this Twitter junk out of control. The man can say what he wants if it is intelligent or stupid. I don’t care about what DD does in his own personal time. As long as he isn’t involved in some criminal activity this is fine. If people just ignored the Twitter comments half of the time then they would stop.

Its called free speech guys, if DD doesnt break the law, then I think he has the right to say whatever he likes on his account. If it doesnt affect his play on the field, then I dont think its relevant in any way.

i’m a die hard cardinal fan for life as well as all teams in arizona, but im sorry to say that i think this franchise is going to fold after the comple and utter thrashing the 9ers will be handing us. We will be in the fetal position in the corner begging for our mothers to hold us…. and we should probably forfeit the season after the week one murder session… may god have mercey on all our souls ( i should add that god is a niner fan, so we are screwed).

hmmm a die hard Cardinals fan who's commented on Niners Nation five times but ROTB just once

This comment really brings out his Cardinals colors huh?

yess!!!! I’m sooo excited for the new season. they only need to dradt a pass rusher now and we are set. Battle is a keeper at least on special teams. I doubt the niners will release any of their WR’s… Bruce will be gone after next year. We’ll have strong receivers for years to come!!!
