He should have been a few years ago, but didn't make the Pro Bowl. As far as athletes' use of social media, I think it's unnecessary, but to each their own. If they choose to use new media like Twitter and Facebook, they should be cognizant of the way they represent themselves (as should people in general). Far too often, these athletes, who are public figures, accomplish nothing but making themselves look unintelligent and immature with their posts and pictures on these sites.

Could AJ shed some additional light on what's being done to keep his virtual life every bit as healthy and vibrant as his physical life is? Thanks!
