Mark Teahan
"Sarcasm... Google it! www.IGetTheDetailsOfTheSuperBowlClearlyJustMakingAPointAboutTheMLB.org"

How I See It: That was a great joke.

Larry Fitzgerald
""Yesterday is the past,2morrow is the future.2day is a gift that is why we call it the present."Hope u guys r havin a great day! FFF"

How I See It: Yesterday, you had Kurt Warner, tomorrow you won't, today, you freak out about your offense's future.

Mark Cuban
"The Simplicity Test: A Simple Policy Guide for Job Growth: The simplest way to create more jobs is to allow small... http://bit.ly/dkjA8Q"

Evan Oglesby
"Just woke up from a much needed nap. Ready to Paint the town"

How I See It: Urban Dictionary defines “paint the town” as “to appear at a number of different parties.” So either Evan is a painter in the offseason, or he is about to have a wild night.

Nate Robinson
"Man we might be stuck in DC for another night with all this snow nooooooo!!!! I can't stand the snow! Word aapp!"

How I See It: Every time “DC” is brought up in relation to basketball, I feel the urge to make a Gilbert Arenas joke. It’s an epidemic.

Shelden Williams
"yea so i saw that obama was at the duke game!! he might be bad luck for collegiate sports haha!!"

How I See It: And now he is trying to change the BCS system ... but if he is bad luck, I still don’t see how it can get much worse.

Shawne Merriman
"Can somebody ask @OGOchoCinco where is the charity event"

How I See It: Can you?

Grant Hill
"RT @OMGFacts: Billy goats urinate on their own heads to smell more attractive to females. #omgfacts"

How I See It: It doesn’t work with humans. Not that I’ve tried or anything. (I was desperate!)

Santonio Holmes
"Party on the beach, party animal let em off the leash!"

How I See It: I’m sure this is exactly what Mike Tomlin wants to hear about his wide receiver.

Dustin Keller
"@nickmangold haha I thought an offensive lineman would appreciate any type of meal"

How I See It: Way to be a good teammate, Dustin.

Evan Oglesby
"If ur n Miami. Holla at me"

How I See It: Holla.

David Garrard
"Great career by Kurt Warner. Living proof of never let anyone tell you, you can't do something. Much respect!!"

How I See It: David Garrard is also living proof: I would have told you a few weeks ago that he would never play in a Pro Bowl, and yet here he is as the 400th replacement quarterback for the AFC. You just never know.

Dhani Jones
"Dhani will be making a special LIVE appearance next week with one of his good friends. Stay tuned for more info!"

How I See It:I guess Dhani enjoys speaking in third person.

How I See It: Um, thanks. Very subtle plug, Shaun.

Rod Benson
"Tim Tebow must have had "eye sex" with Todd McShay's girl at some point. Talk about a guy who hates another right now..."

How I See It: That’s a love triangle right there, kids. Senior Bowl style. Throw in Mel Kiper plus his slick head of hair and you have yourself a nice love pentagon.

Warren Sapp
"I LIKE IT!!!!! TODD MCSHAY!"

How I See It: Looks like Warren might want to make the McShay love polygon a hexagon.

Gary Williams
"His strict teachings on fundamentals was a very important part of myself and number of my teammates becoming head coaches"

How I See It: Gary Williams tweets?

Amer Delic
"Is it just me or is Dr. Andrews the only doctor available in the US? http://bit.ly/awgrPn #Sanchez #Jets"

How I See It:My conspiracy theory: James Andrews isn’t a real person, just an underground organization to which the sports world is at mercy. And “Dr. Andrews” is set to bring down the sports world by controlling all injuries. Can’t say I didn’t warn you.

How I See It:Is this an auction or something? And is this what Twitter has become?

How I See It: There is nothing better than 100 percent humidity.

David Garrard

Chad Ochocinco
"If I had @BillGates income id steal the cruise ship OASIS OF THE SEA and bring all my twitter fans n party till coast guard come arrest us"

"about to hear rex pre game speech!! i know its gonna be crazy!!"

How I See It: I’m not sure why, but a Rex Ryan pregame speech sounds really dangerous. I’m staying away.

How I See It:It’s Troy Aikman’s tears from the Cowboys’ loss to the Vikings last weekend.

David Clowney
"Taking off now,.. God watch over us and get my team to Indy safe."

How I See It: The only way to guarantee this might be to draft Tim Tebow.

How I See It: You knew the Jets can run the ball. But you didn’t know that Aristotle snaps the ball to Mark Sanchez on every play.

"My UAV is online"

How I See It: I really hope he is talking about Call of Duty and not a real unmanned aerial vehicle. Please.

How I See It: Darrelle Revis: All-Pro cornerback and existentialist philosopher extraordinaire.

Natalie Coughlin
"Dear Shannon Sharpe, what the heck are you wearing?"

How I See It: I’ve asked that same question countless times. If he wears a toga next time, it will probably be an upgrade.

Renee Montgomery
"Finished shopping for now. Time for the game. #Ravens"

How I See It: Shield your eyes, Renee. You shouldn’t have watched. Only adds salt in the wound for Baltimore fans still bitter about the Colts leaving town.

Chansi Stuckey
"All this smoke has given me a terrible headache"

How I See It: Looks like Chansi might already be getting into trouble in the offseason ... that’s what happens when you play for the Browns.

DeSean Jackson
"This guy reggie bush jus did sommmmmme sicccccc ass shit on dat TD............. I see u boi u got that wiggle out there swerv'n sheeeeesh"

Drew Brees
"Remember, Blackout the Dome with your Finish Strong shirt. The official players shirt says, "Our City, Our Home" then "Finish Strong""

"Play the Wizards tonite at 7. Let's get it"

How I See It:(insert Arenas/Crittenton gun joke here)

Trent Shelton
"If your tweet isnt "Retweeted" by at least one person ...you probably shouldnt say it cuz NOBODY cares!"

How I See It:This might be the best way to alienate your entire base of followers.

Renee Montgomery
"#randomfact Brad Pitt has been smoking since the sixth grade"

How I See It: Telling kids that Brad Pitt has been smoking since sixth grade is probably not the best way to prevent them from smoking.

Kevin Weekes
"Tweeters, I'll take the first 10 questions from minor hockey goalies and or parents,and adult rec goalies for tips,insights on the posistion"

How I See It: I’m sure the amount of tweets by minor league hockey goalies and their parents completely overwhelmed Kevin as soon as his tweet was sent out.
