Venus Williams

How I See It: Venus, aren't you capable of fulfilling all your wishes with your millions of dollars?

Kevin Boss
"Why the heck can't we get the game live on the westcoast?"

How I See It: NBC is ruining the Olympics for us. It is too hard to go all day without finding out who won the competitions. Just show it live!

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: 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.

Nick Mangold
"Final thought for the day. We drive on parkways and we park on driveways. Think about it......."

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.

Terrence Williams
"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.

Donte Whitner
"I go in my direction!"

How I See It:I hope that direction is down. Because if so you are on the right team: the Buffalo Bills, with new coach Chan Gailey.

Kevin Durant
"I SEE POLOW DA DON, MYA AND ALL THESE CELEBS AT DA LAKERS, CAVS GAMES..WHAT ABOUT OKC GAMES?WE GOT A GREAT CROWD AND WE PLAY HARD EVERYNITE"

Venus Williams
"@bigmacvikings what are you reading for bible study?"

Bill Stewart
""Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable.” - Tom Landry"

How I See It: We couldn't have gotten a better Landry quote here? That's like quoting Ali saying "I love boxing. I love boxing a whole lot."

Ottis Anderson
"Who's checking me out on comedy central tonight? Someone cries and not from laughing...but it will b funny"

How I See It: An exercise in self-promotion futility.

Nick Mangold

How I See It: At least Darnell has confidence.

DeAngelo Hall
"I know a lot of fans and people wanna vent and give me there opinions about me and the team...here's your opportunity!!"

How I See It: The quarterback is below-average, the inexperienced coach is terrible, the offensive line is always hurt, the $100 million dollar acquisition is injured every three plays, the franchise player is getting a bit old, the receivers are awful, the owner sucks, the GM sucks, the stadium sucks, and the team isn’t even as good as usual in Madden this year. Thanks for letting me vent, DeAngelo. Oh, also you are better in Madden than in reality.

Swin Cash
"Palace staff, ushers, security& Mr. D(RIP) I thank you for making 2003 something magical for all of Detroit&the world to see!"
