For all the good Twitter has brought, it's also tripped up several sports figures. Here's a look at some who have let the tweets go a little too far, beginning with Johson, who wrote, ''My father played for the coach from 'rememeber the titans.' Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn.''

Those words along with subsequent tweets in which he insulted a fan and used gay slurs led to a fine and suspension. But the Chiefs weren't finished. They released the running back, figuring they'd had enough.
