Mookie Jones’ twitter account is active – and for all the wrong reasons – yet again.
Although he didn‚Äôt play in the win over Providence, Mookie Jones still had plenty to tweet about. If you‚Äôve followed Jones’ tweets and Facebook like we have, you know that he‚Äôs bound to say something interesting.
Last season he fired off, “coach don’t give a s*** about me and evreybody no it.” Fast forward to Tuesday which started simply enough (all Tweets sic’d):
‚ÄúNo matter who you are.the right system can turn you from a roll player into a superstar.I’m talking rock bottom.‚Äù
Sounds like he could be talking about himself there. Going from a three-point specialist to something more? James Southerland has certainly started to do that this season.
That led to Danny Parkins of The Score 1260 prompting his followers to take a look at Mookie’s latest tweet.
“It says I cant retweet it for some reason but check out @mookie21jones latest on how the right system can turn u from a role player 2 a star”
That didn’t make Mr. Jones very happy:
“@DannyParkins why you telling people what I said”
It‚Äôs laughable that Mookie ¬†- with 835 followers at the time – would ask that question. His account is protected, but still allows nearly 1,000 people to see what he says publicly. Obviously those followers can show other people as well. There is no code of silence embedded with Mookie’s tweets. Danny‚Äôs response was logical:
‚Äú@mookie21jones BC I’m not tellin people anything you didn’t already say yourself man, twitter is public.‚Äù
Mookie’s response?
“@DannyParkins well you just got a puclic block.i dont even no you”
It seems as though Mr. Jones does not frequent AM 1260 on his radio dial here in Syracuse.
Later on Mookie spouted off again, but directed it at no one in particular:
‚ÄúI realize there are jerks that just like f—ing with people for fun.like homies.I don’t even play much.why you jocking me.#CanILive‚Äù
A fan under the handle @ottotheorange tweeted to Mookie, “If you don’t want people to know what your saying, then don’t post it on Twitter.Danny is just doing his job.” Jones responded¬†‚ÄúF— you.”
Do we get his frustration? Yes. He‚Äôs made his “should I stay or should I go?” mindset public on Facebook several times. He’s obviously not playing significant minutes. But as a high-profile figure, you‚Äôve got to realize the effects of what you say. And that those words are public.
He only has to look across his own locker room to see one player who got rid of his account all together recently after saying some regrettable things.
Jay Wright at Villanova has prohibited his players from using Facebook and Twitter altogether until the end of the season. It’s not because of anything specific the players said, but because their conversations were being taken out of context online.
Joking about sexual assault – not funny.
Saying ‚ÄúF— you‚Äù to a fan – not appropriate.
Someone on the team or in a higher position needs to tell Jones people can see what you write. It’s not only a distraction to you and your team, but potentially an embarrassment as well.
A social media ban isn’t necessary if players can handle themselves responsibly in that sphere. So far this season with Mookie Jones, that hasn’t been the case.

Levi’s Stadium is the first new NFL stadium to be built in California in 50 years and cost about $1.2 billion. The stadium seats about 68,500 fans and is the first pro football stadium to achieve LEED Gold certification. In fact, 49ers officials are so proud of the stadium’s sustainable status that visitors can actually view display inside the stadium that shows how much energy and water the structure is using in real time.

Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
It’s genuinely very complicated in this busy life to listen news on Television, thus I only use the web for that reason,
and obtain the newest information.
My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome website!
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and amusing,
and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something too few men and women are speaking
intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this website could undeniably be one of the best in its field. Very good blog!
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Superb work!
I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks a lot
Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to
know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have
to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no
coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from
someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
