"SOP: need to focus on this week's major...won't be tweeting much. Get back at ya when I can."

How I See It: Good call. You never know when Jim Gray will strike with his revenge.

Dawan Landry
"@D24m Wussap Brett Favre?"

How I See It: The day Brett Favre joins Twitter is the day the our society begins to die. All as Favre sends out misleading and ambiguous tweets about his future.

Cliff Avril
"Why? Ever wonder why?"

How I See It: If I were a Detroit Lions player, I would ask the same thing.

Kawika Mitchell
"Living my dream"

How I See It: Playing in Buffalo ... yup, sounds like a dream job.

DeJuan Blair
"Leave ya keys on the kitchen counter and give me back that ruby ring wit da big dimond!!"

Cliff Avril
"Don't let anyone control ur happiness..."

How I See It: Shouldn’t be too difficult when you are on the Lions. There isn’t too much happiness to go around.

Bernard Berrian
"The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for. ~Earnest Hemingway. I agree with the 2nd part."

How I See It: But would Hemingway agree with how you spelled his first name?

Nick Mangold
"I can't not wait for #LOST. The Willy Wonka reference in the preview gave me the willies(no pun intended)(well maybe alittle intended)"

How I See It: Yeah I’m pretty sure that pun was very much intended.

Matt Forte
"In Natoma, Kansas it's ilegal to throw knives at men wearing striped suits! #Randomfact I always thought it was legal lol"

How I See It: And that is exactly why the Royals don’t wear pinstripes.

Kerron Clement
"#BREAKINGNEWS Lets take a moment and #SayNoToDrugs"

How I See It: It’s 4/20 today, so I’m not sure if this tweet is perfect timing or horrible timing. And I'm not sure if it is breaking news either.

Cliff Avril
"Why do ex NBA wives have a show? Makes no sense to me..."

Travis Outlaw
"Do you think you should live with someone before you get married? They say you never know a person until you live with them, right?"

How I See It: Ask Tiger.

"Who's coming to my wedding? @ my newly built home?"

How I See It: Wow, not bad for a guy who got arrested for harassment against his girlfriend. How much you paying her?

Frank Trigg
"Ribs, baked potatoe, salad, wine, wine, water, water, water for dinner"

How I See It: I want to draw your attention to Trigg's bio on the right side of his twitter page. It says he's a "MMA Broadcater" then at the end, "I'm smart just ask me." How do you spell potato and broadcaster, Frankie?

Maurice Jones-Drew
"At chillis and the line is around the corner so I'm gonna be patient and wait bc I want my cobb salad.... Lol "

How I See It: MJD, doing it in real life like he does on the field -- waiting for the holes to open up and then snagging the opportunity.
