Nate Robinson
"Tough times never last tough people do !b #WORDAAPP RT @rael45: @nate_robinson hey Nate I'm a young dude tryna make it in life, any advice?"

How I See It: If you block Isiah on Facebook, he won’t be able to inbox you. Then if you need to, block him on your phone and instant messaging account.

Reggie Bush
""Sometimes you gotta go through Hell to get Heaven" –Maino"

How I See It: Yeah, I hear you, man. It must have been tough getting to the NFL. What did you have to do, work like two jobs to pay the tuition at USC?

T.J. Ford
"All UT athletes show best horns pic"

How I See It: Watch the Jew jokes, man. Tomorrow’s Yom Kippur.

Mark Schlereth
"Don Mattingly will take over as the Dodgers manager next season...good for him he's a baseball legend.."

How I See It: Mark Schlereth is an NFL analyst on ESPN. Good for him. He is very talented.

Donte Whitner
"Every year there's 6 or 7 new playoff teams...why not us?"

How I See It: Because you are the Bills, your quarterback is Trent Edwards, and you play in a division with the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins. Oh, and you are the Bills.

Donte Green
"BMORE!! Block party 2morow on greenmount!! Homewood between 21st & 22nd street. Free food, music, games for da kids. Come thru! COS!"

How I See It: Oh, like one of those block parties. For a second, I thought you were actually going to block shots like the Kings drafted you for.

Darrelle Revis
"#ocnn news: watching espn's PTI on #primetime2go from my droid x by motorola"

How I See It: Darrelle! How can you afford a Droid! Oh right ... that contract you recently acquired.

Ronny Turiaf
"Happy Bday! RT @CabriniFdn: Hey Ronny, Can you please wish twins Nicky and Katey a happy birthday? They turn 10 today. Big Knicks fans!"

How I See It: Bad choice, Ronny. The Knicks haven’t made the Finals since 1999 and these kids were born in 2000. They’re obviously a curse.

Apolo Ohno
"Stuck in ATL airport..flight is at 9:30....where's the jet Benjamin!"

How I See It: I know it's been 35 years since you last went into space, but we all know you could skyrocket home if you needed to.

LeBron James
"RT @VonDaKingBucket: Fly union is the next hot thing outta Columbus ohio them boys bad! They can rap they ass off.(They are so nice!!)"

How I See It: Paying respects to a “homegrown” band. How ironic. You still just don’t get it.

Donte Whitner
"I wear I wear I weaaar no pants"

How I See It: It gets boring in Buffalo ... sometimes you just have to try something new.

Kenny Moore
"Had so much fun at Panthers in the park!!!!"

How I See It: That sounds extremely dangerous, and not fun at all.

Jose Canseco
"Email spendadaywithjose@yahoo.com for info and pricing Only a few spots left!"

How I See It: Wait, about pricing -- do I get paid or do I have to pay to spend a day with Jose?

Jeff Green
"Man, i can already tell this is gonna be a HOT summer..."

How I See It: The forecast: Hot with a very good chance of Al Gore discussing global warming.

Thomas Howard
"I hope GeorgeTown loses so everyones brackets can be messed up...that's the beauty of March Madness Baby"

How I See It: Wow, somebody hates humanity in general.

Shelden Williams
"ask vandy, notre dame and maybe soon to be georgetown"

How I See It: I’m not sure what question Shelden wants me to ask these teams, but I have a question of my own ... why? Why did you three have to kill my bracket?

Jeff Green
"@jHARD13 dude i am about to cry..this is bad if we lose...if it wasnt for these baby e-trade commercials ill be going insane lol"

How I See It: The biggest tragedy of all this is actually the E-Trade baby commercials! The new baby is an impostor, and just makes my bracket pain even worse. I hate March Madness.

Royal Ivey
"Georgetown is done!!!!!"

How I See It: And so is my bracket.

Ndamukong Suh
"Hello Detroit"

How I See It: Two words no NFL draft prospect ever wants to say.

Ozzie Guillen
"Just saw and talked to nolan wow one of the best ever what a pleasure."

How I See It: I think what Ozzie means is “[expletive deleted].”

Jose Canseco
"The movie on my life if interested email me at jc7264@yahoo.com"

How I See It: Right now, IMDb has Daniel-Der Zauberer ranked at the top (bottom?) of the IMDb Bottom 100 movies. I think that’s about to change.

Darrell Green
"Retiring, getting cut and and just plane old quitting, is a part of the the professional sports business."

How I See It: I assume spelling “plain” wrong is also part of the business.

Apolo Ohno
"Getting ready to jump off this plane in Denver. It's been a long day. Check out this sweet pic - http://tweetphoto.com/13271583"

How I See It: From the Olympics to jumping off planes? Apolo Ohno is awesome.

Antrel Rolle
"It's pretty sweet being a free agent...check out new blog jus posted at my website www.rolle21.com"

How I See It: Antrel sounds like a guy that just broke up with his girlfriend. He tells himself that it is great being single, but then after about an hour he realizes he is alone with no girlfriend, or in this case no job.

Matt Forte
"I'm hungrier than a hostage right now!"

How I See It: Matt doesn’t realize he is a hostage ... held captive by Lovie Smith and the Bears offense.

Chad Ochocinco
"Man its always a line on the damn runway, the pilot need to go around these lil planes like we in traffic in NY, honk damit!! Smh"

How I See It: I guess Bengals just have a hard time getting past jets.

Darrell Green
"Shout out to the winter Olympic games. I am really enjoying them. Go USA!"

How I See It: Can we sign Darrell up to run sprints in the 2012 Olympics? I know he is in his mid 40’s, but he might be our only chance against Usain Bolt.

Bret Hedican
"If you ever get to Vancouver you have to check out the Aquarium! Great place & amazing Baluga Whales! http://tweetphoto.com/12000053"

How I See It: C’mon Bret ... the aquarium during the Olympics? Unless you are going to see Michael Phelps, you have to dedicate yourself to watching the games!
