Jay Bilas Deleted and Apologized For This “Gotta Go to Work” Tweet

All, College Basketball, ESPN, Twitter Jason McIntyre October 4th. 2012, 1:05pm

Jay Bilas, who has perhaps the most interesting twitter feed at ESPN, is famous for his early morning Young Jeezy rap tweets. It’s become a thing – every morning, usually between 5-6 am, Bilas tweets out rap lyrics that revolve around going to work. (He talked with me about them at the Big East tournament.)

Early this morning, Bilas accidentally hit send before cleaning up his tweet – who hasn’t done that? – and this happened. He quickly apologized. [Screen grab via @AngryBlkManDC]

Anyone else find it funny that the Red Sox own twitter feed had “BREAKING” before they announced that they were firing their manager via tweet? They broke the news of their own firing I guess?

The Phillies just made him their 3rd base coach and it’s widely assumed that he’s going to be the manager in a year or two. I wouldn’t blame the Red Sox for interviewing him.

I think the secret is just get someone who isn’t arrogant and unlikeable by players who also can manage a game. Can’t be too hard.

Sure is. Also is the guy who makes mid six figures talking exclusively about college ball and yet complains about how college athletes are exploited for money.

Speaking about making six figures, I found it ammusing this morning how the blowhards on WEEI in Boston were making fun of Valentine because he was being paid nothing to appear on their station when last year Francona was pulling down six figures doing the same.
