Week 3 picks: More tweets we'd like to see

Without Twitter, I never would have heard of Redskins rookie backup linebacker Robert Henson.

Inactive for the first two games, Henson would have remained peacefully invisible heading into Week 3 if not for Twitter, which, by the way, is not helping the stereotype that NFL players and athletes in general aren't the brightest bulbs on Planet Earth.

I don't tweet, but apparently, getting a Twitter account comes with a complimentary dose of truth serum and/or stupidity.

Henson is just the latest example. After Redskins fans booed the home team in a 9-7 victory over the Rams, Henson delivered a nasty tweet in which he called the fans "dimwits." That would have been OK and, quite frankly, fairly accurate in a lot of cases. But then Henson went overboard and dissed hard-working people who live outside his little gene pool when he asked how people who "work 9 to 5 at McDonalds" could possibly know what's the best game plan for the Redskins.

Henson disabled his Twitter account this week. Probably right after Jim Zorn asked him to disable it or have his phone smashed over his head.

Oh well, another NFL tweeter silenced. Too bad. Here are some other in-game tweets we might see:
