I know it’s been mentioned in the Lachie Hunter thread but this is what he tweeted before deleting it:

And his reason for deleting the tweet:

FMD, Browne playing the mental health card.

He would get some credit if he just came out and said something like ", Sorry, bad tweet. Don't know what
I was thinking", than trying to defend a stupid post and make things worse.

Seems he was trying to play the sympathetic card to get him first in the queue for Hunter’s mea culpa interview. Pathetic, Tom.

"Footballers are finding this tough too, have some sympathy!"

Joe Average isn't exactly driving around off his **** smashing into parked cars now, is he? Is the expected standard of behavior for professional athletes that low just because they aren't kicking a ball at the moment?

Damo had a fair whack at Tommy on today's episode of the Sounding Board.

Damo: Hutchy, I didn't catch up with this when it happened, but did Tom Browne have an issue with Twitter yesterday?

Hutchy: I read that someone had a fake tweet about him.

D: Someone pointed it out to me after the event... here we go. I've got it here from Jane's running sheet. So... I probably don't think I want to go into to what he's referring to here in case it's very serious, what may have happened. But this is a tweet from Tom Browne on Monday: [READ'S TOM BROWNE'S TWEET ABOUT A FAKE TWEET ATTRIBUTED TO HIM CIRCULATING]... I want to have this conversation about Tom Browne's tweets and other's tweets without knowing what it was that he's complaining about, okay, because it might be serious, but... I don't know what... Tom probably should look at his Twitter work in the starting point anyway, shouldn't he?

H: What do you mean?

D: Well do you follow him?

H: I follow him because he breaks as much news as what he does. You can't dispute his newsmanship.

D: No, I've never disputed his newsmanship. I rate him highly as a newsman.

H: Well what are you saying? You're having a go at what he tweets?

D: I'm very close to muting him is what I'm saying.

H: Oh my goodness. You've been such a leader of other journos, and such a believer in the code and all this and you want to turn it...

D: And again, before anyone makes anything more of this than what it is, I don't know what he's referring to with regards to the fake bit. It might be really serious, and I want to say that before I said what I said and I'm going to say it again now. I don't know what he's referring to but I think a look back on Tom's timeline, he might want to just, maybe, not comment on everything.

H: Yeah but some people are just active on Twitter, aren't they? Some people are just active.

D: Well when I say I might mute him, I have muted him.

H: Hang on a minute... you've blocked Tom Browne?

D: No, there's a difference. Someone told me the other day there's a difference between muting and blocking/

H: What is that?

D: Well it probably doesn't matter now given I've declared I've muted him, but they don't know you've blocked them if you mute. And that's the first time I've muted someone. I'm the greatest blocker in the history of Twitter, Hutchy, as you know.

H: Here's just a little bit of everyday advice for you: if you're going to mute someone, rather than block them on Twitter so they don't know about it, perhaps don't tell the podcast that's got 100,000 listeners or whatever.

D: It's what I just said Hutchy. It's what I just said.

H: That mute worked out well didn't it. Put that down to one of your great successful moves, Damo, you've muted Tom Browne on Twitter then told everyone about it. Well done. That's a strategy. I feel for Tom. He's a ripper. He's a newsmanship... that's not even a word, I made that up, here we go.

D: How condescending's that? He's a ripper?

H: He breaks news Damo.

D: Hutchy I'm not disputing the fact he breaks news, he breaks seriously good news and has for a number of years.

H: He has a fertile mind, he's a hard worker. He's cut from the cloth that I like in journalists which is have a go, and break the odd egg but be prepared to have a crack. I don't support your views.

D: I don't need running commentary from Tom on the coronavirus.

H: Yeah but a lot of people out there just feel better about being able to vent regularly on Twitter.

D: Yep. Find another platform.

In what universe does he "break good news"? He'd have one of the poorest strike rates out there when it comes to actually breaking a true story.

No one is envious, he's an object of ridicule.

Browne is pretty much the real life embodiment of Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm persona. :$

I just don’t understand how you actually type that out and hit send without thinking better of it. What is wrong with him?

This guy crashed a funeral and contacted Brad Green for an exclusive on his wife's condition. If anything this latest incident is mild on the Tom Browne spectrum. :$

only 17,000 followers on twitter - most of them their for the inevitable train wreck, which is why hardly anyone ever replies. If his job is to hide behind the curtains in social media he’s doing his job.

What's everyone talking about? Tom Browne's stupid comments. He's doing his job. They're all the same.
 
The piece of s**t is going to argue that he got on the booze after the crash in an attempt to get away with the drink driving charge. This, after he ran from the scene. Absolute flog, no respect at all now.

And the bloke was hanging out with his mates anyway, Browne searching desperately for friends again, monumental twat
 
Number of creditable Fox Sports journos have lost their jobs over the past few months. Yet TB still has a gig, dumbfounded.

As for his tweet about Hunter I've called him out a couple of times now as to why he deleted it, something that has affected me on a personal level before, yet to hear back except for reading his replies to others that he "doesn't want to start a Twitter war" etc.
