The most macho sports league on the planet continues to embrace the social-networking web site with the decidedly non-macho name. In addition to the presence of Twitter accounts for many players and guys like NFLN anchor Rich Eisen, NFL V.P. of corporate communications Brian McCarthy is now using the thing to shoot down erroneous reports -- at the apparent prompting of a certain NFL Internet hack, who continued to slowly master the whole "@" thing by sending a message to McCarthy regarding the primary subject of this post. In response to a Sunday report in the Telegraph that the league will send a Super Bowl to London as soon as 2014, McCarthy tweeted as follows: “We are not pursuing idea of putting a Super Bowl in London or anywhere outside US. Reports last week/today inaccurate.” We’re not sure why the folks at the Telegraph didn’t opt to seek out McCarthy or Greg Aiello or anyone else at the league office before going with a story that makes a London Super Bowl sound like a done deal. It’s anything but, according to the McCarthy. Then again, the Telegraph believes that recent denials from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell are part of a broader scheme to get the owners to buy in to the prospect of an exported championship game slowly.
