Sometimes journalists have to learn the rules the hard way. Athletic officials at the University of Washington warned a reporter to not tweet so much while he was covering the school's basketball game against Loyola Maryland on Sunday. Todd Dybas, a local sports beat writer, sent out a tweet saying: "Tonight I was reprimanded by the University of Washington for tweeting too much during a live event." The incident brought attention to an interesting new rule for live coverage by outside press: UW's policy states "periodic updates of scores, statistics or other brief descriptions of the competition throughout the event are acceptable" - as long as they don't exceed 20 tweets per basketball game or 45 per football game. While we frequently stand up for other journalists, this time we stand behind the University of Washington on its policy. Washington is not the only institution with this rule in place.

Anyone with a Twitter account should have noticed a hashtag trend last week that had the Internet filled with grief. #RIPMitchLucker.

Washington and Colorado became the first states to decriminalize recreational marijuana use this week, and all bloodshot eyes are on them to see what unfolds next.

The NBA season is underway and there is one big three that couldn't care less: Me, myself and I. Don't get me wrong; I'm a basketball fan - definitely more of a college fan, but I enjoy the pro game as well, especially after last year's shortened season. What was so great about it last year? After a summer lockout, fans - myself included - lost sleep over the thought of a winter without Kobe Bryant.
