    Now that the guy is fired it might be a good time to reflect on his greatest hits.

    Honestly, not impressed by his tweets. Company tweets are lame and any attempt to have fun falls on its face because of varying levels of humor. Best of luck somewhere else.

    Definitely, his tweets have always sucked, but the Rockets fired him for his best one :grin:

    No, the tweet sounds rapey. And it is not cool to use guns these days... And definitely not cool to joke about animal violence. It just shows he lacks judgment, despite the humor value it had. Pr requires better judgement.

    This was easily one of my faves. He will be missed.

    LOL, avoid video games and movies at all costs? This is entertainment. Guns are super cool bro.

    How was he joking about animal violence? It was an emoji of a horse to represent the mavericks..

    Chad got stabbed in the back with a crude improvised weapon.

    Not cool to use guns and not cool to.... Were you not watching the Rockets /Mavericks series?!!! Do you not know what the mascot of the Mavericks is?? Are you the speech police? I think you should be watched at all times and we should just WAIT for you to do or say something that could be even remotely insensitive to some person, animal or plant in this world and make sure we scream so loud and hard about it to your boss that you lose your job. Kiss your freedom goodbye!! And good luck getting another job because everyone will know it was YOU who said or did that despicable thing!!

    Man, who invited this guy to the party. The JJ Barea of the GARM.


    Enjoyed Chad's tweets. Some hits and misses but more hits than misses and a homerun ball that was glorious to read live.

    The fact that you refer to a joke in terms of "humor value" is reason enough to distrust your judgment.
