Kerry Rhodes logs on to Twitter nearly everyday and tweets about pretty much anything his 12,422 followers -- and counting -- bring up.

That includes the New England Patriots fan who taunts the New York Jets safety every chance he gets.


"It's a lot of fun and I actually respond to random people," Rhodes said recently during training camp. "I've got this Jets heckler who keeps tweeting me and cussing me out every night. There's some hostility on there, too, but it's all good."


While some teams, including the Miami Dolphins, have banned their players from using the social-networking site, the Jets have openly embraced Twitter.


"I like it because I enjoy the banter," Jets kicker Jay Feely said. "It surprises me when you get things back that are hateful, things like, 'I hope you die,' or 'I hope you get cancer,' but I like being able to interact and share your beliefs and feelings and say it the way in which you want, without going through an intermediary."

Why? I like it, it gives us fans a chance to chat with players we watch on sundays. Kerry Rhodes usually answers questions that you send him, hes pretty cool like that. It gives us a chance to follow these sports stars that we enjoy watching. I see no harm in it at all, its not like hes leaking information out or anything. Usually he just says like when hes going to be interviewed, or talks about the upcoming season, or the Yankees.

I can see people saying its dumb if it was allowed to use twitter during games, that would be stupid, like what Ocho Cinco wanted.
