My Twitter Squabble with Michael Strahan
by Jim Schmiedeberg on Sep 15, 2011 3:54 PM EDT

PrintI swear I don't know how I get myself into these things.
I use a program on my phone called Tweetcaster for Twittering. When you haven't looked at your tweets in a while, it consolidates them in a stream, and puts a banner on your phone that says "Detect Gap". You can then touch the banner, and it will fill in the missing tweets.
I tweeted this morning "When Tweetcaster gives the "Detect Gap" banner in your stream it should just show a picture of @michaelstrahan" ......seeing as how he is known for the gap, and poked fun at himself for it in commercials, I thought it was funny.
An hour later, I get a Direct Message from none other than Michael Strahan. He says "And you wonder why no one listens to your show and wonders who you are. Maybe if you were actually funny, it would help"
Now I can't DM him back, he doesn't follow me of course, so I tweet "I just got a DM from @michaelstrahan, I am both honored and disappointed. Say what you want about our radio show Mike, but I guarantee you it gets better ratings than "Brothers" (Strahan's horrible sitcom)
So he replies "I wasn't nasty, I just said if you were funny more than 3 people would listen to your show (referring to Blueshirt Underground Radio, my radio show about the Rangers)."
To which I replied "Actually more than 3 people do listen to my show, and many people do find me funny. I just figured that you would find humor in something that you are known for and something you've had fun with in the past in commercials"
And then I added "Maybe if you were that funny more than three people would have watched "Brothers"
Then he sent me another DM, saying "Dude me arguing with you is like a lion paying attention to a fly in its back!" Shoo fly! U follow me for a reason! Who are you, LMAO!"
Why Michael Strahan is so worried about what I say about him on Twitter is beyond me. I find the whole thing comical. Strahan has a half million followers, and he's worried about me. He even blocked my wife, which is even funnier. After all these years, who knew he was so sensitive about the gap?

I thought the "brothers" bit was actually funny
and yeah, Stray can be a little bitch made on Twitter…I’ve noticed that before.
very defensive…(no pun)
not a good quality.

I’ve actually paid little attention to him on Twitter before today, and to be honest, I thought if he ever saw the mention, he would get a kick out of it. Oh well.

I’m still laughing. For a bigtime guy like him, he sure did care about your show and what you said, even if he said he didn’t care about “a fly”. lol

I responded. Honestly, I’m done with the guy. He may not have better things to do with his time, but I sure do.

He saved my life the second time I met him. Can’t fault the guy for being paid and bored.

Dude prevented me from stepping out in front of an oncoming vehicle.
The car was traveling at at least 40-45 mph. I was talking to him; not paying attention to where I was going and he told me (rather loudly) to watch out. It was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. (tears) lol. True story though.

I like Twitter mainly because it is a great outlet for my sarcasm and mockery. Some girl complained to me because I wasn’t talking about the Rangers enough because she only follows me for Rangers news. I told her she is going to be very disappointed.

My humanities class.
She wants us to have a twitter and to follow “famous people and writers/poets/artists etc” that interest us.
So I pretty much follow people from BGN, Football players, Calipari and the ESPN/NFL analysts/writers.
She never gave her definition of a writer so I’m assuming the people that publish an article a day count.

It's his need to get the last word that may have won the Giants a SB
but seriously, that would really upset me if one of my idols felt the need to put me down. What’s the deal, Strahan?

Until [the Eagles] win something major, I don't want to hear it."

Agreed, It is F-ed up IMO.
He’s the big bad lion and Jim is just a piece of shite fly. I am not impressed with Mr. Strahan right now.

Now I have a tough decision to make before I go to the game Monday night: do I wear my Strahan jersey or my Schmiedeberg one?
Where’d you get a Schmiedeberg jersey? NFL.com said I had too many letters in my name to make one, LOL

That’s good stuff.
You know, I always figured the gap didn’t bother him. If it counts, I thought it was funny Jim.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
You know what would be real funny
If he read BBV and then saw you at the game… The look on YOUR face when he walks right up to you with the I am going to whoop your ass face would be priceless.
P.S. Please have smeone with you when you go to the game Monday and make sure they have a camera ready….Please post pic so that we all can have a laugh…..
I would love to blow up Texas Stadium... With team still in it
36 plus years of rooting for the Eagles I think are comming to fruition this year.
I am not a FAN.... I am a FANATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would gladly take a beating from him, he should have a few bucks left after alimony and child support.

If he brought weak stuff like that
he would not even qualify under trolling. You have to be better than that. he was a very good DE, but his flaming skills are 3rd string at best.
i thought this deserved to have a 2nd rec and push it to the top
so i gave it just that… good read

My advice
Keep that going as long as you can, and save the transcript to your computer
Then try to engage other celebrities in long twitter squabbles, save em and publish it as a book. That would be gold.
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
Dude, I have to admit this gave me some good laughs...
It’s sad to see a guy like Strahan fighting with a fan, he’s got millions he should be out having a good time, not crying over what some guy (no offense) says about him on twitter.

Precisely why he should be collecting and publishing them
Especially if he can gather them in a theme
C’mon, he could tweet something about Vick and dogs, not mean, just a lil poke, see if he tweets back
In a month or two, Jocks Tweet The World, people love seeing the high and mighty made regular.

my respect for Strahan lowered
I never think that there's something I can't do, whether it's beating my opponent one on one or practicing another hour because something about my game is just not right. - Magic

I can support you against Strahan
He’s being arrogant and a bit of a dickhead, but you do not wanna take on Mr Kutcher. Dont wanna end up getting Punk’d
Did anyone else notice that after the Vikings signed Rhett Bomar they beat the Eagles? We had our secret weapon all along...
The guy has always been like this,
this shouldn’t be eye-opening to any of you. I’ve met him a few times and he’s always given off the “I’m better than you” attitude.
