TweetI like NY Giants punter Steve Weatherford but just found some of his tweets odd and a bit insensitive during Hurricane Sandy.
While most in New York were using their 140 characters on Twitter to wish everyone well or to provide updates on news Weatherford was happy go lucky! His tweets included the Goofy hat pic, his blue suede shoes, his suit and several others.
The disparity of his tweets in comparison to the ones above and below him caught my attention. Made me realize how disconnected some of us can be at times. The tweets came around 10:45pm to right after 11pm.
Steve Weatherford Tweets Durring Hurricane Sandy
In all fairness the photo of him coaching pee wee soccer was nice but the tweet directly above him expressed what was going on in New York City for regular folks.
Transformer just exploded! Weatherford "hey look at my blue suede shoes"!
Three fun pics in a row here including the Goofy photo used for the post. It would be too long to include the above and...

As it turns out, both players turned in duds but the moral is that the fact that one fantasy owner starts them both, shouldn't matter.
