Twitter has done many things since it exploded onto the scene a couple of years ago. From the perspective of a die-hard, obsessive sports fan like myself, one of the great effects of Twitter has been to give us peeks behind the curtain, so to speak, at what our favorite athletes and sports figures are like.
Well, there is perhaps no more entertaining and off-the-rails curtain to peek behind than that of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. He joined the micro-blogging site not too long ago and quickly became a prolific, must-follow tweeter. Knowing a little something about Irsay’s backstory – especially his indefatigable love of music – will help you to put his tweets into context. This quick Irsay biography tells you all you need to know.
What did Jim Irsay? is a new segment that I will maintain every day (or most days) here at MSF that will celebrate the most compelling of Irsay’s tweets.
If you are active on Twitter, I encourage you to follow Irsay because I guarantee that his tweets will provide daily sparks of humor, intrigue, insanity, and inspiration – sometimes all at the same time – to your feed. But if you’re not a Tweeter, just stop in here every day and I’ll fill you in on the best of what you may have missed.
For today’s inaugural post I am including screen shots of five tweets from the past 24 hours. I won’t usually provide this many each day, usually just one, but I figure we should kick it off in style. And, just to get it out of the way: yes, Irsay’s Twitter account is verified, and I’m including the permalink for each tweet so you can be sure I didn’t create any of these in Photoshop.
So without further ado, here goes…the best of @JimIrsay for January 11th, 2010:
Come back tomorrow for tasty Twitter goodness from @JimIrsay.
