Really Charlie?!?

Using one of my favorite segments from SNL, "Really?!?" I would like to figure out what Charlie Villanueva was this thinking at halftime of his game against the Celtics. Villanueva decided the best use of his halftime was updating his Twitter account with a new "tweet" from his cell phone. Charlie, aka CV31 on Twitter, posted "In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at the da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up." REALLY?!? The game is tied and you are twittering?!? I've heard of short attention spans, but being paid millions of dollars to play basketball against the the defending NBA champions isn't enough entertainment for a couple hours? Why not bring the phone to the bench and update your stats for us real time? Maybe the entire stadium can respond to your Tweets with what they think you should do next. You could ask reverse dunk or 3-pointer! It would be like playing a real-life video game!! I was recently "exposed" to this phenomenon that is Twitter, and while it is cool to follow celebrities, how far is this going to go? Do I really need to know what someone is doing at all times? I mean, is the fact that Britney Spears is currently trying to take care of her kids or that Dane Cook is having dinner really that important to me? I mean, if people are going to give us the play-by-play of their lives, they can at least give us the good stuff. Maybe Chris Brown and Rihanna could have tweeted their whole fight. Maybe Michael Phelps could update us on what his favorite bong is. This is important information, not Kid Rock is "taking a shit." Thanks, but no thanks. So, in conclusion, REALLY Charlie Villanueva?!?

Also of note from Wednesday's Chicago Tribune Sports Section: Derrek Lee was scratched from the lineup for a sore quad, Milton Bradley has missed 2 days for flulike symptoms and, the best reason to miss a game ever.....Joey Gathright was at the dentist. Couldn't schedule that around spring training games? Must have been a bad cavity. Hmm, just a thought.
