This week's athlete tweets were dominated by two events. The first was the cancellation of the first two weeks of the NBA season. While players seemed to take a more lighthearted attitude towards the lockout in earlier weeks, as the deadline approached to reach a deal prior to the start of the regular season, the tone of the tweets shifted to frustration.
The second major event was the passing of legendary Raiders owner Al Davis. Several former players weighed in on the man who was one of the most recognizable authority figures in NFL history and the soul of the Oakland Raiders for more than five decades.
