Who is your favorite person to follow on Twitter?

Kenny Powers from Eastbound and Down on HBO. The stuff he says is pretty much hilarious.

Why did you start Tweeting?

I was on Twitter, closed up, where it was just private with my family. It was a quick way to keep in touch with my family. When I came out here to Arizona, a lot of guys in New York were on Twitter, so I decided to open it up. That way I could talk more and keep more in touch with buddies back there. It’s simple. It’s cool to keep up with the guys. It’s just a way to stay in touch.

What will you never Tweet about?

Actually, I very rarely Tweet about football. I noticed that the other day. I don’t Tweet a whole lot about what’s going on in football. I just Tweet about other random things.

Where is the strangest place you have Tweeted from?

Maybe the bathroom, I guess.

How do you choose who you’re going to follow?

If they say funny things or there are a lot of the national sports reporters that put a lot of good information out there. It’s a good way to keep up with the league as well.

iPhone or BlackBerry?

iPhone.
