| : | @ #SportsPRChat is kicking off in about 10 minutes. | |
| : | Looking forward to #sportsPRchat w/ guest mod. @! #sportsprchat | |
| : | Hi I?m Rob a U of L sport admin grad (Go CARDS) and I?m pleased to be today?s guest moderator. #SportsPRchat | |
| : | Hi Rob! RT @: Hi I?m Rob a U of L sport admin grad (Go CARDS) and I?m pleased to be today?s guest moderator. #SportsPRchat | |
| : | First I want to give thanks to @ giving me this opportunity to this. Q1 will be coming in 2 minutes #SportsPRchat. | |
| : | Q1 Is it a good/bad idea for Tiger Woods to have a tightly controlled public appearance with limited media on Fri? #SportsPRchat | |
| : | Q1 and Does anybody have any issues with Wood reading a prepared statement? #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 If I was Tiger’s team, the only thing I’d worry about is coming off as fake. Not taking questions is a mistake, IMO. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 Personally I think its a good idea. Baby steps. From his #PR persons stand point this is a very SAFE move #sportsprchat | |
| : | good. let’s him control the situation (and the media). they want answers to unnecessary ?s. he can control the info. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 tightly controlled or event controlled at all seems to be the oppposite of how i would describe whats been happening #sportsPRchat | |
| : | RT @: good. lets him control the situation and media they want answers to unnecessary ?s. he can control the info. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 It’s a bad idea to even have the hint of a suggestion that he’s getting back at accenture. People want contrite, not cocky #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ It’s good, Tiger always like to control the message but this should have happened in Dec. #sportsprchat | |
| : |
Anyway to move #sportsPRchat after 12pm? I’ll have to miss today’s 
|
|
| : | @ Unecessary Q’s are what this is all about though. Q’s will be uncomfortable/tough, but he needs to take them. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q1-kind of torn on this. Good his coming out, but there will still be questions left unanswered I believe #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ I think thats why the Media has beef with Tiger because he has to control everything #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ amen brother #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I completely agree with you. Tiger needs to come off as if he believes what he’s saying. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | I just don’t see what it will accomplish. Media will still keep pushing to try to get answers to whatever he ignores. #SportsPRchat | |
| : | Hey, I got it, he is using same PR strategy as Toyota cause that works so well….#sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I agree but it’s created his very marketable image (up to Nov) and the media slurps him up #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Hey, I got it, he is using same PR strategy as Toyota cause that works so well….#sportsprchat | |
| : | @ It’ll at least get his face out there. Show that he’s not going to be in hiding and that he will address the q’s #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Tiger needs a prepared statement. seems to stuggle off the cuff, but he needs to appear genuine, not fake #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 I think Tigers team probably wants to test the waters before they go diving in head first. #sportsprchat | |
| : | It’s smart because it’s a multi-step approach…he can win people over in one day, small, controlled baby steps = good start #sportsprchat | |
| : | haha i agree RT @: Hey, I got it, he is using same PR strategy as Toyota cause that works so well….#sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Can that be done without something off the cuff (i.e. taking questions)? I don’t think so. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 Is it by accident Tiger has this event right before the accenture match play. A sponsor who dropped him? #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ I completely agree! #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ they already know all the answers, so it’s a waste. uncomfortable/tough came w/Elin. tabloid Qs accomplish 0. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Too late to test the waters. 3 months down the road, Tiger needs to man up and face the music. #sportsprchat | |
| : | tiger’s tight control makes the whole thing feel so forced, public needs to see someone vulnerable and truly sorry #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2 will be coming in two minutes #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ it’s difficult, but I do think in the end Tiger needs to take ?s & needs to be prepped on how to answer them #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ But it isn’t tabs at the “news conference”. Legit journs like @ will ask tough Q’s, not sordid ones #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I don’t think anything Tiger does is by accident. He’s controlled his image so tightly his whole career. #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ That’s exactly right. Not taking Q’s still makes him appear as if he has something to hide. #sportsprchat | |
| : | An appearance on Oprah, Leno, Letterman, Walters can be just as controlled but seems more open & honest (Hugh Grant) #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 Do you find the winter Olympics interesting this year? Do you think NBC is doing a good job covering the event? #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ sadly, I don’t trust any journalist to ask quality Qs. it’s more about boosting their status than getting answers #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I also agree he needs to face the music, but I can see why he’s taking it slow #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Tiger’s best option would prolly be to shut up & play golf. Just cut the media off. Dont see it dying but oh well #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2 I don’t watch the Winter Olympics that closely, but all my faves have been on. Have had no prob w/ NBC #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ That’s fair. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ They are interesting DESPITE NBC’s delayed coverage. NBC, however, is good at presenting story #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 Thought s on Vonn winning the gold being on tape delay and the foul language w/Shaun White and his Coach? Is it a big deal? #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Q2-I’m struggling finding the Olympics interesting & NBC is doing a horrible job #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ I want to watch the events in real time, not hours after the fact #SportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2 NBC tape-delaying stuff is ridiculous. Air it live then re-broadcast in primetime for those who missed it. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q1 that’s what I want to see Tiger making birdies and clutch putts. #SportsPRchat | |
| : | RT @: Q2 NBC tape-delaying stuff is ridiculous. Air it live then re-broadcast in primetime for those who missed it. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 so far I’ve greatly enjoyed watched the Winter Olympics despite the tape delay on some events. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | trying to figure out why i feel is a snooz, maybe less2 do wth coverage more 2 do with lack of pre-game hype about competitors #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 right, obnoxious when the news says close your eyes/ears if you dont want to know what happens bc you are waiting to watch #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ supposed tiger statement (leaked early) http://bit.ly/d9Cq31 #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I don’t want stories, I want sports when I was the Olympics #SportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2: NBC is certainly making the Olympics less interesting & less appealing to me. Vonn’s performance was awesome. #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Q2 Does knowing the outcome of a event take away from it #SportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2 I’m actually fine with the delay. When you watch the events live, you realize they take 2 hours. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | sadly, i think tragedy will help the ratings and make more people respect these lesser-known sports #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ not when it came to Seth Westcott’s race. All I knew was that he won, I had no idea about any other part #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q2 I’d like them to air the events on their non-NBC networks during the day, I really don’t think it would affect the ratings. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | by the end of summer games we knew what Phelps ate in the AM everyday. There needs to be more stories around the athletes #sportsprchat | |
| : | It’s as if the personal stories have become parodies of themselves at this point. I like a feel good story, but com’on. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ That is hard especially with people get alerts on their phones , facebook and twitter #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @ Any1 who thinks they can avoid big sporting event results has never heard of Twitter/Internet in general. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q2 I knew you were going to say that, and it took away from the surprise of this chat…ar ar #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ YES knowing outcome of event takes away from it. I want to feel like I’m watching as it happens. not after fact #SportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Preach it. I don’t watch college football for Tim Tebow’s backstory. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | The nature of a lot of winter sports don’t allow for great gold medal moments–ie racers starting at different times #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2 People who say they want the sports live and unfiltered undermine themselves by not caring about them for the next 4 years. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Knowing the outcome of an event takes all excitement out-Can’t get into the competition when you know who wins #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Agree. Winter Olympics is a timing race, you watch each person one at a time…not as exciting as actual race #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ agreed. that, and there is no michael phelps of the winter olympics. Ohno is the star & has 6 medals…ever. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ great point! all skiers should start at the top of the hill together! more injuries more drama better ratings! #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 Winter Olympics is definitely more team oriented…and thusly more interesting for me. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Problem w/ tape delay: sports themselves don’t keep us captivated, it’s the suspense of seeing who wins. We know & dont watch. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2 I don’t mind the delay, and don’t check the medal count until after I’ve watched an event…airing the events live=problems #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q3 108,000 atendend the NBA All-Star game. Should bball games be played in large football venues? #sportsprchat | |
| : | anybody catch the excited expletives by Shaun White’s coach and the immediate backlash? can’t edit that out when its live #SportsPRChat | |
| : |
@ Synchornized swimming is an art I tell you! It is the brush and my eyes are the canvas.  #sarcasm #sportsPRchat
|
|
| : | Q3 Find somewhere they can do all that stuff outside. I think the streetball element would add a lot to it, for a few years. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q2 I will especially mind the delay if it continues with hockey. Will completely take away from the game #sportsprchat | |
| : | Oh, boy. Forgot to set the alarm last night. No #SportsPRChat for me – gotta go to class! | |
| : | Q3 I don’t think there are many teams in the NBA that would draw a huge crowd like that. All-star game is a special case IMO #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q3 Big BB games should. Regular season games should not. There’s not as much excitement about reg. seas. BB. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q3 I don’t think it matters with the all-star game, it’s a party. That the NCAA championship is played that way is a travesty. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Q3 I like that idea could be interesting #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q3 If every football venue had screens like the Jerrytron so 108K could enjoy it might be OK. Otherwise what’s the point? #sportsprchat | |
| : | I like the “enclosed” spaces of basketball..it adds to the high energy that is such an important aspect for the fans..6th man! #SportsPRChat | |
| : | ACC tournament @ Georgia Dome = no fun. For the All-Star game it’s fine. But real games need better atmosphere. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q1: Ernie Els calls Tiger’s timing “selfish” http://bit.ly/b3eKwV #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q3 I’ll probably go to see the Jerrytron #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 coming in one minute #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 Did the Pothole incident that caused a two hour delay at the Daytona 500 hurt NASCAR?s image? #SportsPRchat | |
| : | its all about the experience! The fans are a huge part of the it so the more fans the more excitment better experience #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @ Q1: Ernie Els calls Tiger’s timing “selfish” http://bit.ly/b3eKwV #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 I know a lot of people watching were annoyed w/ the incident. Race went on way longer than it should have #sportsprchat | |
| : |
@ YES…Potholes belong in DC, not in NASCAR #sportsprchat
|
|
| : | @ NASCAR is trying to grow their fanbase, but when an incident like the pothole arises, it alienates new followers. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 I thought this chat was about sports? Kidding, kidding…Doesn’t hurt image, just annoying for fans. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Q3 I agree that why it think places like Duke’s cameron indoor stadium has such an advantage #sportsprchat | |
| : | Hahaha RT @ Q4 I thought this chat was about sports? Kidding, kidding…Doesn’t hurt image, just annoying for fans. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 I am a huge NASCAR fan, and I saw it as an embarrassment. Highlighted all the things wrong with how the sport is run. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Feel free to join in! Just search #SportsPRchat to join the conversation! | |
| : | Q4 It will be a black mark on the sport for years as far as non-fans are concerned. Fans got passed it and enjoyed the ending. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q5 WVU-PITT now UK-Miss St. What can the NCAA do to prevent fans from throwing things on the court bball games? #SportsPRchat | |
| : | A little late to the chat, but…Q5: Empty the building #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q4 I disagree. Most non-fans probably aren’t even aware it happened. i #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Or at the very least threaten ejection and legal repercussions if caught. RT @: Q5: Empty the building #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 NASCAR has to evolve past being run by the France family, and going inside baseball, it needs to divest itself of ISC. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Q5 thats what I thought if fans can’t behave have a game or two with no attendance n c if that works #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 provide wrist band leash with all beers sold #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 Do like they do at soccer matches – ejections, bans from the grounds and/or legal action. #sportsprchat | |
| : | we suggest putting the team inside a large see through box! #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 Might be extreme but put up barrier between court and fans. Like hockey #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q5. Timely response need to happen. Still nothing said about consequences for students who called Cousins. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 If its a question of numerous fans throwing ejections could be hard to enforce-if just one or two then that is a good route #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5: Guys on PTI have gone as far as expulsion for students that throw things. I think that’s a little too much. Anyone else? #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I actually think hockey sitch would encourage more bad behavior, which is ok in that venue, not ok overall #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I think that would suck, but be pretty effective. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ That could also prevent fans from the storming the court after a upset win #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q5 It’s over the top, no doubt. But it may be the only thing that scares students enough to stop throwing objs #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 Liz Clarke got it pretty much right in her piece in Tuesday’s WaPost. Every NASCAR fan should read it for perspective. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q5: from a PR perspective, Miss St. Athletics should have addressed issue, PR team should be in crisis mgmt mode #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ UK deserves what comes to them! (kidding, just can’t turn off my IU radar sometimes:) #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I agree. Taking away someones education needs to be thought about long and hard prior to doing it. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ but is expulsion so harsh when a key player gets injured because of their actions? #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ @ Yes, there are definitely positives and negatives to it. It depends on the degree of situation IMO #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q6 What is a smart move for the Oakland Raiders to sign Sebastian Janikowski to a record deal for an NFL kicker? #SportsPRchat | |
| : |
@ ouch. I was expecting that to come from @ (he’s a UL grad) #sportsprchat
|
|
| : | Q5 Very tough problem. Voiding wins would be my answer. Would force the crowd to police itself. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ if a player gets injured than the person who threw object can be held financially liable for their actions in court. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q6 Raiders and kickers do not matter, next question #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q6 Other than their stellar CB, there hasn’t been another player WORTH giving record contract to for many years in Raiders org #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ yes, but shouldn’t we be in prevention mode vs. reaction. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q6 Well, ideally your kicker isn’t most of your offense. Shows them admitting they have a massive problem there. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | haha –>SI.com: “NBC=Not Broadcasting Correctly” #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q7 How would u improve the NBA All-star slam dunk contest if its possible #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I completely agree, but fans should be made to know the consequences before they do something stupid like that. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q7 Throw out the elimination format. 3 rounds and your best dunk gets rated. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Final; trampolines and fire and some sort of caged animal (oh yeah, the guys from WV in the cage)…#sportsprchat | |
| : | Q7: add in some fan-made dunk attempts! #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Final; trampolines and fire and some sort of caged animal (oh yeah, the guys from WV in the cage)…#sportsprchat lol | |
| : | Q7 Get some non-NBA players in the draw involved via an online contest of some sort. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Thanks for another great #sportsprchat! Looking forward to next weeks chat! @ @ @ | |
| : | Q7 Have 6 participants play 3 on 3 for 30 minutes. Best dunk wins #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Agree, let fans in on the action, give them chance to win something or show off themselves #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Not trying to self promote, but thought #sportsprchat might enjoy post from last year, since it’s NBA trade deadline http://bit.ly/cFYHbv | |
| : | Well that wraps up another edition of #sportsprchat. It was fun being the guest moderator. Have a great day everybody. | |
| : | Great job! @ #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Great job with #sportsprchat today! Awesome discussion as usual! | |
| : |
Didn’t get to chat long, but thanks for another #sportsPRchat @ you did a great job  #sportsPRchat
|
|
| : | @ would totally agree w/that if the best dunk actually won rather than the best posterizing. #sportsprchat | |
| : | yep! RT @ Got to find a way to get the best in it…contest would be fine if it was LeBron,Wade,Kobe etc. #sportsprchat #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Great job moding today, fun convo. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | nice job @! #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I concur. Which goes back to the problem, nobody has set consequences or addressed them to date. #sportsprchat. | |
| : | @ I guess my def. of best dunk IS the best posterizing. “Posed” dunks don’t do anything for me. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Posed dunks today just aren’t original – don’t beat Vinsanity’s through-the-legs roundhouse or ‘Nique’s 2-hand windmill. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ you did a great job … sorry I had to leave early, but I really enjoyed today’s #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ great job with today’s #sportsprchat! | |
