Tom Crean
"As we enter the NBA playoffs, keep this thought from Doug Collins. " At playoff time your top 3 players have got to make plays.""

How I See It:Very insightful. “I can feel it coming in the air tonight,” Collins once said of the playoffs. Wait, that was Phil Collins.

Colby Armstrong
"watching the hockey game. Pretty good so far. One more period to go tho. 2nd intermission, gonna wrestle my 3 dogs. 3 on 1...I got this!!"

How I See It: The Colby vs. dogs wrestling match will probably be more competitive than Canada-Germany hockey.

Andrew Bogut
"#ilikedyouuntil you thought I was a Bank."

How I See It: And in this recession, being called a bank is like being called a Nazi.

Kerron Clement
"#ilikedyouuntil U open ur mouth"

How I See It: This does not seem like a very productive way to start a relationship.

Apolo Ohno
"It's raining here...I think it's quite beautiful actually. 3 more intense days to go! I am ready."

How I See It: I know this has nothing to do with the tweet, but Apolo Ohno might be the coolest name ever. Especially for an Olympian.

Frank Trigg
"Finally after several hours of curling jockey is on. Canada v Germany."

How I See It: After the devastating loss to the United States, Canadian hockey players apparently dropped their sticks to start playing a new game: jockey. Still better than curling I guess.

"Jamming to Dave Matthews... Its not easy to play the car drums, drive, sing and tweet at the same time... Messes up my drum solo"

Larry Fitzgerald

Andrew Bogut
"First Day of rehab. Doing everything I can to be back sooner than later. Time to Ice and Stem some more. Go BUCKS lets get one in Elvistown."

Thurman Thomas
"Can I read the bill somewhere, is it online, c-span, etc...."

How I See It: Referring to the health bill I assume. You’d be the only one to read it probably. Including members of Congress.

Warren Sapp
"Trouble In Buckeye Land!! GO Big Blue!!!"

How I See It: If only Warren could have put on some pads for the Maize and Blue. 251 yards rushing today for the Bucks against the Wolverines.
