#AskMatt was a huge success .. for humorists. Photo Nats official 2014 via sportingnews.com<\/p><\/div>\n

So, the geniuses at MASN apparently have never seen just how badly these open Twitter hashtag Question and Answer sessions can go.\u00a0 I wrote about this once before, when NCAA head Mark Emmert <\/strong>was subjected to an #AskEmmert session<\/a> and was roundly ridiculed (I also link to a fantastic Peter King<\/strong> session that went just as badly).\u00a0 Googling something like “worst twitter q&a” sessions also leads to some fun “#AskMe” type sessions that went awry.<\/p>\n

Instead, MASN threw caution to the wind and decided to have an “#AskMatt” session last week.\u00a0 Here’s the Twitter link with the hashtag<\/a> so you could judge for yourself how it went.<\/p>\n

It went, to quote Natsenquirer.com<\/a>, about as well as you could expect.\u00a0 WP’s Scott Allen<\/strong> also commented on the unasked questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s some of my favorite “questions” from the session.\u00a0 Most of these made me laugh out loud in context.\u00a0 No word as to whether or not Matt actually answered any of them.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
