    Interesting. When it doesn't support your argument, then it's automatically a strawman. Funny how that works.

    He also tweeted something bemoaning those making fun of his vacuum add. Then he deleted it.

    Progress.

    The proximity of the TV to the door makes me think Freddy is either being being frugal, or already blew the cash.

    Serious question... How much money can a guy like Freddy make tweeting about household products?

    It's not a bad plan for the company... not because Freddy's Twitter followers are some mega-market - but, because you know it will be plastered all over every website in "How Far Freddy has Fallen" stories.

    Probably more than you think, I know people who who earn money this way and there only claim to fame is having a relatively well-read blog. If I'm honest I don't know how companies actually make their money back, but they certainly are willing to pay.

    It makes me sad and angry to see that. He was supposed to be the rightful heir of Donovan. What could have been.

    He's always been fun to watch in highlight reels.

    He just does things....that you don't see out of our players, even on the NT! It's frustrating....

    That actually appears to be a closet door.

    Which--I hasten to add--doesn't make this any less sad.

    What a noble decision by Rongen to bring Freddy in KNOWING it was his own doom.

    Or perhaps clever...

    I kinda like #humble, #apparentlybroke #rowdiesstarting11 Fredua Adu. But that's just me. I think he turned a corner.

    Say what you will about Freddy, but dude still gets ink. The long-lived power of hype, it's utterly amazing.
