Seeing as how one of their big features this year is 'Reaction Time', I'd say they've got bigger problems than setting their priorities straight. And just because they tweet something, doesn't mean that it's at the top of the priority list.

Paul "fitzy" Fitzpatrick. https://twitter.com/#!/FitzyGFY

While known more for his YouTube videos, he would be a great addition.

I think having multiple beat writers for each team would be good. The reason I say multiple is because I think it would be interesting to have one of them have a more positive outlook and have the things he says always be spun positively. And then conversely, have the other guy be completely negative. If you're playing poor he's just trashing everything weekly and then even if you're playing well he's still constantly bickering about how the coach has lost control or the QB can't win the big one.

It would create an interesting dynamic I think and wouldn't be too far off real life. I think if something like this were too happen, they'd have to use fake "writers" but as long as I'm immersed, beat writers being real people isn't a huge concern.

the fact that it's anywhere on their list when there's so much missing from the game is frightening to me and reaction time isn't a "big" feature when it's only available in one specific game mode that can be easily avoided

Am I the only human that hates the social media garbage? Every time I watch an ESPN televised anything and the broadcaster shouts his "twitter handle" I wanna throw my remote through my television. When will twitter die???!?

I used to be anti Twitter but i jumped on board and must admit it's addicting. Every celeb uses it, every news outlet uses it. It's basically the quickest way to get breaking news and it's a pretty cool way to interact with celebs because lots of celebs do use it to communicate back & forth with fans.

My bad thought it was just in general not lesser known, in that case probably beat reporters
