Social Media And Profit Takers

Over my years as a play by play voice of several high school teams or colleges including Ahoskie high! Chowan Jr.  College and Rocky Mount High.  During football season you could find me at 5pm always every week trying to see what plays our team was going to run or what I could expect from the team we were playing.

Over thirty years you grow to become a homer and every now and then you know defects that your local team has  and at times during a broadcast can see that defect play out on the field but if you mention it on the air the next foe down the road just might be able to attack that defect you discussed on air.

I also realize that coaches can only tell you so much when discussing what might be done each week and have at times asked me not to use certain things that I might know.  It is a case of trust for me that a coach will give me access needed to do a proper broadcast as well as he can trust me when he might tell me something everyone doesn't need to know.

Today with twitter and any other things that  can get information out in the finger touch on a screen our world is made of reporters or just a plain Joe  who can use a cell phone as a camera every movement anybody makes can instantly appear on You tube or some web site.  Coaches can't trust anybody as any time they speak it just might be fodder for someone to give them their  15 minutes of glory.

It is a shame that the Nebraska coach had something caught on tape two years ago but for someone once they found it produced it as if it happen yesterday. I know as a person who tries every day I sin  but I try my best  to do the right thing.  I hope on this blog we have given information helpful but when it comes to breaking stories where I have to dig up dirt on someone I will reserve that for those who are looking for the fast track to glory.

The world we live in today you can look at and talk  to someone over the internet in a matter of a few seconds.  I have looked at setting up a twitter account and I may someday but I still like this old fashion blog system.  When I have something to say I have more to say than what Twitter will allow me to say.  I like it better when you come to visit me here than me sending it out to you when ever I want.  That way you can  visit when you want to.  Hope to see you real soon !
