Report: Shawn Andrews only Tweeting at 26% of full potential

Just two days after being released by the Eagles, Shawn Andrews met with Twitter executives to discuss a lack of focus on his day-to-day Tweeting.

“Ten years from now, we could be talking about Shawn as one of the greatest Tweeters of all time,” said a Twitter head coach. “The talent is certainly there, but he’s just not making the best use of the 140-character limit each time he updates his status.”

Some Twitter officials have estimated that Andrews is Tweeting at nearly a quarter of his potential after watching film of Andrews’ dominant Tweeting early on in his career as compared to now.

“I’ve seen the guy do things with 140-characters that most guys couldn’t do with 500,” said one Twitter executive. “Some people blame off-the-screen distractions, like his involvement in pro football, for the lack of focus. I’d rather he focus on his Tweets, but if he wants to continue to play football, he’s a grown man. Let him play.”

Freddie Mitchell preps for comeback, will limit jabs to occasional smack Tweet

The last time we saw Freddie Mitchell in a pro football game was as a soft-spoken member of the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX against the Patriots. Nearly five years later, Mitchell has put the word out that he wants to break back into the league and would limit any trash-talking to his blog and other social networking sites on this go-round.

“I think it’s great that I don’t have to call guys out through the media anymore,” said Mitchell. “Twitter allows you to talk junk without the middleman. It’s so much easier, and significantly more addicting this way.”
