| : | RT @: 30 mins until #SportsPRChat – Talking Olympics, UFC, Tiger…and more! | |
| : | Hoping to make some great new networking connections today during #sportsprchat | |
| : | Welcome to a slightly rescheduled #SportsPRChat! Sorry for the switch – my laptop needs CPR! Q1 coming in 1 min – say hi! | |
| : | Hi @ I’m joining #sportsprchat for the first time today…hoping to make some great networking connections while chatting. | |
| : | Sad I won’t be able to participate in #SportsPRChat today. Have lots of @ directories to deliver! | |
| : | Q1 – What do you think of NBC’s coverage of the Olympics so far? (purposely broad) #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Hi everyone! PR Free Agent Matt LaCasse #sportsprchat | |
| : | hi guys! #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 I’ve only watched curling and hockey. Both have been live, so I have no issues. Tape delaying stuff is stupid though #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Hey #SportsPRChat, Former Michigander, Current Baltimorean, PR professional here. | |
| : | Q1 I haven’t really been watching the Olympics. I feel like there’s nothing too exciting to expect #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q1 I think it is awful. Hockey nut that I am they cut into and out of games. Never started on time. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 -Little dissapointed. Thought we’d see more “live” events in prime time. Not entirely NBC fault though. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | My first #sportsprchat / Jules Zunich / tons of golf & health & fitness pr experience | |
| : | Q1 Missed some events I wanted to see due to delay or it being on another NBC network. Missed Curling and Hockey #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 I’ve said this before, you can’t cover sports people don’t care about straight. All the story elements makes sense to me. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 In terms of stuff like dumping hockey to MSNBC, PR wise, it’s been awful. But NBC doesn’t care. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Dont get MSNBC, mad to miss USA/CAN.They had lots of viewers, & it would have been in their best interest to put game on NBC #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1: Terrible. So bad. That could also be due to the fact that I can’t stand Bob Costas. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 #sportsprchat: NBC has done a great job…better than any I remember | |
| : | RT @ @ Pretty sad. As 26 yearold male they are way too focused on subjective vs. objective sports. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 Will give them this credit, really enjoyed seeing all the stuff about Canada. Really want to head to Vancouver someday. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 I’ve been more disappointed with the ESPN alerts coming out moments before “live” events end. Such as the women’s bobsled #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I encourage you to check out #sportsprchat that’s going on right now. You’ll make some new connections. | |
| : | Q1: other than the fact that I don’t get msnbc and I haven’t seen a single hockey game or curling it’s okay #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 Stephen Colbert is rockin’ it, i think he should get some credit for NBC ratings…the colbert bump #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q1 NBC put out demo numbers that say 56% of their Olympics audience is women. That’s why their coverage is done the way it is. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | After the luge death, seems they are featuring that track more than usual #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Pretty weak keeping hockey on MSNBC #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ @ Agreed. However, do subjective sports draw more viewers? Reason ice skating is in prime time. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 Don’t understand the “turn away from the screen if you don’t want to see who won the medal of the event that’s on later.” #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Don’t forget the scrolling bottom line on all their stations #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I agree that Stephen Colbert has been a great addition to the NBC Olympic coverage. #sportsPRchat. | |
| : | @ Q1: I think coverage is cool so far…of course would be better w/HD #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Tape delays have helped and hurt my enjoyment of the games #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ ESPN alerts sent to my phone. Got one about 3 minutes before the last run (USA currently 2nd) saying we win bronze #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: @ Pretty weak keeping hockey on MSNBC #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1: Besides hockey, I think I’ve only watched highlights on ESPN #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @: Dear NBC, thank you for playing soap opera’s during the winter olympics. NOT!!!!!!!:) #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 Wish NBC showed more live events, but they’ve always operated same way. Differnce is info comes faster from other sources. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ you’d be shocked how bad athletes look in HD after a long competition! #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 I hate NBC’s coverage. hops around too much. Hate they stick ads online during hockey gms when there are none on TV #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ At least the delays are not as bad as when the Olympis were on the other side of the globe. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ RT Q2 but don’t you think it’s interesting after the bobsled accident, athletes are pulling our of competition #sportsprchat | |
| : | Colbert has been awesome. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @ NBC’s coverage has been an embarrassment. People want to see live coverage of Olympics and are not getting it. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1; If NBC had aired USA/CAN game it would have been on tape delay…then CT and PT viewers would have been more upset #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ is it the tape delay or all the online instant alerts like Twitter/ESPN that ruin it? #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 coming in 2 mins! #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ good point. email alerts, mostly #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1: With todays tech, its hard to wait to watch events that can’t be shown live. Spoilers everywhere #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @ NBC’s coverage has been an embarrassment. People want to see live coverage of Olympics and are not getting it. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1. If NBC wants to do delayed coverage, they should have gotten agreement from other outlets, so results wouldn’t be leaked. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | True! RT @: @ is it the tape delay or all the online instant alerts like Twitter/ESPN that ruin it? #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ tape delay for me. I want to know the result as it happens #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Q1 – What do you think of NBC’s coverage of the Olympics so far? (purposely broad) #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q1 I mostly feel like the tape delay isn’t necessary because its only a 3 hour delay in time. Should have more live. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ #sportsprchat I think the free HD feed over the air looks incredible. I watch on NBC 4 in DC. Flatscreen with antenna | |
| : | @ if I know it’s happening NOW, I want to know the result NOW #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 – via @ – Does the Mancuso/Vonn skiing rivalry hurt sponsorship opportunities? (Top 2 skiiers don’t get along) #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @: Q1. If NBC wants to do delayed coverage, they should have gotten agreement from other outlets, so results wouldn’t be leaked. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @: Q1 I mostly feel like the tape delay isn’t necessary because its only a 3 hour delay in time. Should have more live. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q1 Another thing which ticks me off living in a border city is this is the 1st year we can’t have the Canadian option. #Sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Q1. NBC should have gotten agreement from other outlets, so results wouldn’t be leaked. #SportsPRChat [not gonna happen] | |
| : | Q1: I’m irritated by the fact that it’s nearly impossible without paying to watch any highlights on the vancouver2010 site #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @: Q2 – via @ – Does the Mancuso/Vonn skiing rivalry hurt sponsorship opportunities? (Top 2 skiiers don’t get along) #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q2 I don’t think it hurts them individually, esp. after she said it wasn’t Vonn’s fault. Just odd “officiating” by IOC. #sportsprchat | |
| : | yes & no … controversy draws attn. so that could help. but if they aren’t willing to work together, then no use trying #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Q2 Not sure about hurting the sponsorship opps, but man did the SI cover jinx get them or what?! #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2 Dont rivalries usually help? plz explain the question #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2. They should either put it aside in the public eye, or play it up, ala college rivalries. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q2 – via @ – Does the Mancuso/Vonn skiing rivalry hurt sponsorship opportunities? #SportsPRchat ~ no in this climate it probably helps | |
| : | Q2 when has frienemy situations not helped the bottom line? #sportsprchat Sadly it may help women in sports get better coverage. | |
| : | Q2 It shouldn’t. Tiger and Phil not being best friends didn’t hurt either’s ability to market themselves (pre-scandal). #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q2: My prediction is sponsors will get them to unite in a joint venture to raise profile of alpine success at these olympics. #SportsPRchat | |
| : | Q2: I think the fact that it’s skiing and not many people pay attention hurts sponsorship opportunities #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Is there crying in Olympics? can we talk about the crying – hurts or helps? #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @ 1)Rivalries add endorsements/tv coverage not detract 2)Skiing $ issue=lack of TV/interest during non-Oly yrs #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 – I think the Mancuso/Vonn rivalry may help Mancuso — seemed like all Vonn before. Now she’s actually in conversation. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | #SportsPRChat or should I say NBC 4.1. . . Universal Sports on 4.3 is handy but Standard Def (SD). | |
| : | @ If Mancuso is perceived has “bad guy,” does that hurt her earning potential, despite being top skiier? #sportsprchat | |
| : | #SportsPRChat @ @ @ Then NBC should provide live coverage. | |
| : | @ Agreed #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ crying helps NBC tell ‘its’ stories #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q2 Does it really even matter? I mean, when’s the last time you saw an oly. athlete other than Phelps outside the Oly. window? #Sportsprchat | |
| : | To go against @’s post, What about @? He seems to have done well in a “non-popular” sport in no-oly. year #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @ Not in PR, would say no. As long as they’re not bickering directly. Back door takes away, not unsponsorable #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I SO AGREE IT SHOULD … we live in 21st century. NBC should too #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Remember to use the #SportsPRChat hashtag! | |
| : | Today’s #SportsPRChat is brought to you by teenage ironman @! | |
| : | Q2 Rivalries usually end up helping to make both better known. Vonn is still perceived as top skier though. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q2: well after Vonn crashing last night and Mancuso having to do a re-do I don’t see them getting along any better #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ OK, we think some companies might like bad guy image. could work 4 her. Depends if a character like mcenroe #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Remember to use the #SportsPRChat hashtag! | |
| : | Q3 coming in 2 mins! (leaving Olympics, if that’s OK) #sportsprchat | |
| : | Agreed! RT @: Q2. They should either put it aside in the public eye, or play it up, ala college rivalries. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ it very much OK #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Q2 – I think the Mancuso/Vonn rivalry may help Mancuso — seemed like all Vonn before. Now she’s actually in conversation. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Semi-related, who is justified to be angrier: Sven Kramer (NED speedskater) or Julia Mancuso? #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ why thank you, or as mancuso would say waaaaaaaaaaaaa #sportsprchat | |
| : | I think the rivalry should help. I haven’t paid much att. to the skiing. #sportsprchat | |
| : | sneaking in to check out the #sportsprchat ! | |
| : | Q2: I think the rivalry could be an opportunity for sponsors! If it’s a healthy, competitive one #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Kramer. He had the gold in hand on to have it stripped away #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ No doubt its Sven! #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q3 – via @ Good PR move? “UFC Forces Fighter to Apologize for ‘Death’ Comments”http://bit.ly/6oah44 #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Again with the cycle. He was smart and stayed in the public eye is what I’m trying to say, I guess. #sportsprchat | |
| : | the rivalry has given Mancuso a better opportunity for deals, she was way under the radar before, esp compared to vonn #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Q3 – via @ Good PR move? “UFC Forces Fighter to Apologize for ‘Death’ Comments” http://bit.ly/6oah44 #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @:Q2 – via @ does Mancuso/Vonn rivalry hurt sponsorship opp? #SportsPRChat~ Think Mancuso’s comments made it hard 4 her | |
| : | @ To play devil’s advocate, Kramer could have ignored his coach & won gold. Who has time to think in that situation tho? #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q3 Good move. UFC wants to be taken seriously, won’t be if seen to tolerate stuff like that. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q3: It keeps the story going – we’re still talking about it (UFC apology) #SportsPRChat | |
| : | It’s Dana’s show. He keeps everyone in line. Good move to get an apology issued. #sportsprchat. | |
| : | Q3 IDK … seems like UFC is going PC on itself which seems to be counterproductive #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q3 Bad PR ; good PC move. Why mask a character? That’s what fans want to hear/see. Like bands being drunk at Awards shows. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ that is true, but like you said, who has time to think in that situation. Plus, most Oly athletes listen to coach #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Are they trying to come off as family friendly? RT @: Q3 seems like UFC is going PC which seems to be counterproductive #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Agreed… RT @: Q3 Good move. UFC wants to be taken seriously, won’t be if seen to tolerate stuff like that. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ @ Devil’s advocate aside, I agree w you both. Felt awful for both of them. Glad both have other medals. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Death chat not needed in ANY sport nor part of ANY sport UFC,NFL,Bowling etc Death=serious Sports=entertainment #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q3 @ Agreed. Point of UFC is to win a fight, not kill someone. Idea that fighters want to KILL each other is bad PR #SportsPRChat | |
| : | If UFC wants to be treat as a legit sport, good move. otherwise, they’re just another version of the WWE #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q3 Fascinating analysis in the article – apologies certainly seem to be in vogue, hard not to respond to such viceral detail #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Q3 The right move. No matter how competitive you are, at the end of the day no one wants to see an opponent hurt. #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ honestly, IDK if they’re trying to come off family friendly. not a sport I watch much of or want my son to watch #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Totally agree. Don’t know why NBC has not shown too many of the hockey games. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ thanks mike! he does a pretty good job as the face of the org. #sportsprchat | |
| : | I agree Mir’s comments went over the line but do we truly believe he really meant every word about wanting to kill Lesnar? #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Same here. But part of sports is respecting your opponents, and UFC is forcing fighters to do that. Kudos to them. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Disagree. Such a sport filled with violence/aggression comments like that will happen. Just let them fade away #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ True! it’s all competition, but no one needs to die! #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ I agree w/ you on that #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q4 coming in 2 mins! #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @: Q3 going out on a limb…death threats generally arent a good PR move #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q3 – I’ll have to catch up on the UFC story. Sadly (or not) I’ve had complete Olympics tunnel vision the past 2 weeks. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Why all the apologies, etc. for Mir when Tyson got a free pass for all the things he said in his career? #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ no prob being fixated on the Olympics. only come around once every four years #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q3: Does anyone think this falls under “no such thing as bad publicity? #SportsPRChat | |
| : | If the pres of UFC had not responded he would get bad press & now look at all the chatter – achieved 2 goals really effective #sportsprchat | |
| : | A little late, hoping to stick my toe in with Q4 #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 – via @ – Was ESPN justified in suspending Tony Kornheiser re: comments about Hannah Storm? #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Q4 – via @ – Was ESPN justified in suspending Tony Kornheiser re: comments about Hannah Storm? #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 Living here in DC I listen to Kornheiser relatively frequently and have heard alot of the backlash, simple answer. NO #sportsprchat | |
| : | i think when he was warned previously about it and has made other comments about the way people dress it seems justified. #sportsprchat | |
| : | IDK … I’m kind of torn. He did cross a line, was a bit sexist but 2 weeks??? #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q4 after listening to the audio, I think the suspension didn’t come from the stormy comments, it was the “booming” weight. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 Nope. He’s an opinion guy, that’s what he’s paid to do. Comments weren’t offensive. Off-color maybe…not offensive. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q4: It’s the Disney World dream of everyone getting along. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q4 seems to cross the colleague code of honor, and it wasnt necessary. he probly could get away with funny remark, this wsnt #sportsprchat | |
| : | I mean, Dana Jacobson didn’t get 2 wks when she dropped F-bombs and said F*$% TD Jesus at an ESPN function #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q4. They need to provide a united face. They are ONE company. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Woman in sports like Storm must expect those things. But not from one of “your own” in the field #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ hes paid to comment on womens clothing? i guess i never knew! #sportsprchat | |
| : | q4 yeah, probably should have been suspended, especially when he got in a 2-for-1 with the Berman comment as well. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4: Certainly the comments were inappropriate, but they’re calling more attention to it bc the reason for suspension leaked. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q4 NO. Even if you think someone should be suspended for comments re provocative clothing, his were lightweight. #SportsPRChat | |
| : |
Q4 – I’m going to refrain from the Boomer aspect. You’ll know why if you read my bio  #sportsprchat
|
|
| : | @ Yes. Comments uncalled for, though opinionated. ESPN protecting its own. For 2 weeks? That is too long. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ He’s paid to comment on whatever he deems fit. Not saying comments were right, but to suspend him is over the top #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4. Upon further research. Good on ESPN. He was out of line, and shouldn’t talk about co-workers like that. Esp. on air. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 No, he is paid for his opinion. Don’t muzzle him for doing his job. Good or Bad. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 – Similar 2 the Clippers thing early this year, more light was brought on this by the suspension, not the actual comments #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4 If we are going to hold athletes to a high code of coduct, shouldnt this apply to sports media professionals as well? #sportsprchat | |
| : | to be honest the suspension drew more spotlight on the situation. I didn’t know about his comments until he was suspended #sportsPRchat | |
| : | RT @ Sad but true RT @ Woman n sports must expect those things. But not from 1 of “your own” #sportsPRchat [agreed] | |
| : | @ you following sports chat? 15 more mins click #sportsprchat | |
| : |
@ That’s just it…I’m not defending him! Talk radio has lots of hrs to fill and hosts make poor choice sometimes #sportsprchat
|
|
| : | Q4 Not the first time he has commented on her clothing choices, always says that she does good work on air when he does. #SportsPRChat | |
| : |
RT @: @ That’s just it…I’m not defending him! Talk radio has lots of hrs to fill and hosts make poor choice sometimes #sportsprchat
|
|
| : | @ He is paid for commentary. His remarks were not appropriate, but his opinion is what is job is. #sportsprchat | |
| : | BTW, I love #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Seems on-air apology and personal call (which he did) to Storm would have kept this much smaller story #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q4–Risking the sake of being attacked here but, sex reversal in the Kornheiser comments and it is a non issue. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 – Had to get to this eventually – what did you think of Tiger’s TV show last week? #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @: BTW, I love #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ True. Still not an excuse and doesn’t make it okay. Certain opinions should be kept to yourself. #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: BTW, I love #sportsPRchat // Me too! Can’t wait f or #SIDchat | |
| : | But he is not paid for his opinion on Storm’s appearance #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5: Too little, too late. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q5 Tiger need not apology to me. He needs to fix things w/ wife, get his life in order as he wants things. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q5 underwhelming #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q5: Tiger’s statement was long overdue…i thought it would’ve prevented all the press to be sooner #sportsprchat | |
| : | I just want to see him play golf. His apology seemed more of a PR stunt #sportsPRchat | |
| : | Q5 cant comment on it because i didn’t watch live because of #HAPPO but highlights show me that you see what you want from it #sportsprchat | |
| : | i think it was addressed too late. i mean yeah props to him for addressing it but waited too long #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ Ok, so now ESPN has to make a list of things he’s paid to give his opinion on? #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5: Didn’t watch. No questions, what’s the point? I got the gist of it later, and he was apologizing to the wrong audience. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | I feel bad for him…saying that speech was brutal. he would have done better firing from his heart than what he delivered #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 It meant absolutely nothing if he’s not answering questions. Answer questions and you become more believable. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | #SportsPRChat – Staged for sponsor dollars nothing more nothing less. About as robotic as they come | |
| : | and it was much to do about nothing #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ Was first step. Seemed genuine, though out & planned. Typical Tiger personality. Not polished public speaker. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Agreed. RT @: Still not an excuse and doesn’t make it okay. Certain opinions should be kept to yourself. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 Didnt change my opinion one way or the other. Said the right things. To make a statement and then walk out was not helpful. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ @ Yes! exactly! #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5: I thought the coverage was overkill. Not like we’re in the middle of the Olympics or trade deadlines or anything… #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Agree with all of this. RT @ cant comment-i didn’t watch because of #HAPPO but highlights show you see what you want #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: he was apologizing to the wrong audience. #sportsPRchat [AGREED. He needs to apologize to Elin & family, not us] | |
| : | #SportsPRChat and attack on media at end was comical .. sorry Tiger you don’t get to control the world | |
| : | @ Just because it was written, rehearsed & robotic doesn’t mean we should judge him for his public speaking skills #SportsPRChat | |
| : | RT @ If intent was to bring back lost sponsors/fans he probably failed. only medicine is a return to golf +major win #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: Q5 thought the coverage was overkill. #SportsPRChat [exactly, esp. since he told us NOTHING. didn't even hint at a return] | |
| : | Q5: Thing that I most remember: he called his actions “foolish.” Writers had months to plan and they came up with that adj? #SportsPRChat | |
| : | q5 what is at the center of the apology? is it about his family life or his misrepresentation of himself to his fans?#sportsprchat | |
| : | Q6 Coming in 2 mins! #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q5-Here’s is what NYC thought about Tiger (Pic taken last Friday in Time’s Sq) http://yfrog.com/37tg0lj#sportsprchat | |
| : | apology clouded even further by discussion of various motives for speaking out. never good. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 – Better late than never… barely. Damage done. Best part was the end tho, where it felt most genuine and less rehearsed. #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ seemed like he was just trying to stay to media to leave him alone #sportsprchat | |
| : | @ It was like ESPN had the speech on continuous loop. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ Rehearsed and robotic = no one feels sympathy OR believes him. It was an #epicfail#SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ You thought that was genuine? It seemed robotic… like a publicist told them to do it #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ I KNOW. my wife was surprised when I didn’t have ESPN on this wknd. when I told her why, she understood #SportsPRChat | |
| : | Q5: He was way overcoached and forced the dramatic pauses and looks straight into the camera. #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5 Dry and emotionless. To me he was placating, very putrid attempt at reprieve. He doesn’t get it. No, not really. #SportsPRChat | |
| : | @ I think the apology coach now needs a press conf to apologize #sportsprchat | |
| : | q5 What I found funny was ESPN’s bottom line ticker during the press conference:http://img111.yfrog.com/i/8tdh.jpg #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5- Of course it was robotic. Tiger never wanted to apologize & a publicist wrote the speech. What wld truly make this better? #sportsprchat | |
| : |
Q6 – With Cena/Batista, Edge/Jericho and HBK/Undertaker 2, how stoked are you for Wrestlemania? #SportsPRChat #wwe
|
|
| : | Q5: In the words of Adrian “Win Rocky Win”. If Tiger comes back and wins, this mostly all goes away #sportsprchat | |
| : |
@ Brutal #sportsprchat
|
|
| : | serious overkill! RT @ @ It was like ESPN had the speech on continuous loop. #SportsPRChat #sportsPRchat | |
| : | @ mmm … not … next question please #SportsPRChat #wwe | |
| : | @ haha, great question. #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: @ I think the apology coach now needs a press conf to apologize #sportsprchat | |
| : | Q5- ? for you PR people–What would have satisfied you last week with Tiger? I bet nothing. It was lose-lose, but necessary. #sportsprchat | |
| : | I stopped watching wrestling when it went from the WWF to the WWE. ha. but go crazy you wrestling nuts! #sportsprchat | |
| : | RT @: @ mmm … not … next question please #SportsPRChat #wwe | |
