On Oct. 25, Parker McLachlin set a PGA precedent -- he became the first golfer to Tweet during a PGA event. <br><br>''Just made birdie on 4. Waiting on 5th tee. First tweet during a tourney round. Don't want to get too used to this!'' (1:28 PM Oct 25).<br> Don't expect it to happen very often, however. McLachlin received a call from Tour executive VP Rick George, telling him that he was violating the rules.

Larry Johnson

Taking his anger public, Larry Johnson dissed his coach after losing to the Chargers. We hope his father knows how to spell better than his son does.<br><br> ''My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches. My father played for the coach from `rememeber the titans.' Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn.''

Borrow a line from Ochocinco -- he has something to say in every situation. <br><br>''I just feel like talking for no reason at all (Broadcasting live at http://ustre.am/4sHM)'' (12:38 PM Oct 27). ... ''I'm so glad I have all ten fingers so I can tweet until my fingers cramp up.'' (4:06 AM Oct 28)
