Baltimore Ravens crack down on Twitter use

What noise does a Raven make when it sounds off? We don't know, but in Baltimore it's definitely not a tweet.

The Baltimore Ravens have issued an edict restricting reporters from using Twitter pages to give updates during offseason practices. According to the Baltimore Sun, any reporter wishing to tweet can go to the media room and do so, but then can't return to the field to watch the rest of practice.

"There's never been cell phones allowed out at practice, so it's really no change in that sense," coach John Harbaugh said. "Just to be honest with you . . . I think it's two things: I think it's a little bit of a distraction, No. 1, for guys to be on phones, or phones to be ringing or anything while we're practicing and, also, we just don't want a running tally of what's going on at our practice. It's not something we're interested in. Now, training camp – when it's open to the public – that's a different thing, it's open. But now, it's closed to the public, it's open to the media, so it's just not something that we think helps us."

Or, as Edgar Allen Poe might have said, Twitter the Raven nevermore.
