Following the fallout from the trash talking tweet of Browns cornerback Brandon McDonald about the Cincinnati Bengals signing of Terrell Owens, Browns head coach Eric Mangini decided to address his team on the subject of thinking before sending.
I think that with social media, it's a great way to connect to the fans. They have a responsibility to do that in a way that represents the organization the right way, Mangini told the team in a morning meeting.
