speaking of twitter, thank you robert henson. henson is a washington redskins rookie linebacker who was pretty upset about home fans booing during sunday's win over st. louis. so upset he called the fans dim wits. of course henson has not apologized for his actions, but there is a lesson to be learned. just because you have an open forum does not mean you can say anything you want. i hear more and more about how proathletes are excited to control their own messages over twitter. henson proved how fast you can get burned when you don't know what you are doing. somebody tell me what herschel walker is thinking signing a contract to do a mixed martial arts promoter strikeforce. from what i can tell this is not a joke. walker, who is the same former nfl star who is now 47 years old will be fighting in the ring by next year. if this was 1995 i might be intrigued by this decision. but today all i can do is think walker is either broke or starving for attention. sure, walker has done interesting things in his life. fifth degree black be
