Shawne Merriman
"God it feels good to be back!!!"
How I See It: Couldn't have exclaimed it better myself!

Janko Tipsarevic
"#Tsonga vs #Federer is one of the beast matches I am seeing in a while..."
How I See It: Wait, the whole sporting world doesn't stop for the beginning of the NFL season? Well, it should.

Le'Ron McClain
"Episode 1 of my reality show...."
How I See It: When a fullback on an average NFL team gets his own reality TV show, you know things have gone too far.

Gordon Hayward
"Just because it's the #indianastatefair doesn't mean u can throw personal hygiene out the window #cmonppl"
How I See It: Wow, Hayward doesn't hold back, even when talking about his state of birth. #Utahchangespeople

Shaun Phillips
"Headed to the stadium but first imma grab some jersey mikes. Ill keep you posted if it will be my new pre game meal."
How I See It: This is why we can't cut the preseason short -- all the players need the full month to find the perfect pre-game meal.

Stephon Marbury
"Love Is Love America. Whisking Off 2 CHINA With SXM II. Peace And God Bless. History Is Coming!!! #LIL http://lockerz.com/s/128694577"
How I See It: Starbury was really thinking ahead when he signed a deal in China long before the NBA Lockout. How business savvy!

John Elway
"Saturday's scrimmage will be a great opportunity for Coach Fox and staff to see how the players handle game situations."
How I See It: It will also be a great opportunity for Kyle Orton to prove once again that he is a better QB than Tim Tebow yet not get the starting gig.

James Farrior
"Jersey shore!! I'm hooked"
How I See It: Farrior defended himself soon after by tweeting, "Come on tweeps. Don't be so hard. It's just a silly show" and "Don't worry steeler nation. We still like smashing faces!lol" but I still feel like he lost a lot of his ability to intimidate opponents today.

Annika Sorenstam
"Dow Jones plunges more than 500 points. None of my stocks were in green...yikes !"
How I See It: For the first time in her life, Annika is worried about going too low. Seriously though, it's too bad that portfolios aren't measured like golf scores these days.

Deion Sanders
"Prime is at HOF welcome reception. Didn't know about it so no suit planned but Prime brought extras. Im the only 1 without his family. Lol"
How I See It: Neon Deion would forget about a reception being held in his honor ... but still have an extra suit with him to make everything OK. That said, the second part of this tweet about Sanders being alone is just downright depressing.

How I See It: A word of advice Braylon: Try to avoid insulting potential employers.

Pete Carroll
"I've seen better hands on a clock... And did they arrest the guy who stole your calves? @RobRiggle http://twitpic.com/5xcb32"
How I See It: Who knew Coach Carroll could spit this good of a trash talking game?

Jon Beason
"Turn on the tube! Jon beason highest paid MLB in the league. News breaks now"
How I See It: I'm always amazed by how much a little third person use amplifies the arrogance of a tweet.

How I See It: It's okay McCoy, you and the Eagles have all off-season to eat like crap before football starts again.

Paige Mackenzie
"Saw a guy practicing in nurse/doctor scrubs today....brings new meaning to playing golf after work."

Andre Iguodala
"I think it's really dope when someone who looks like they have no interest in sports notices me... Old man in borders was cool as hell..."

How I See It: Andre, that was Doug Collins ...

Shawne Merriman

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!)

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"

How I See It: Why do you need money to steal something. I'm confused, but I am down to join Ocho if this ever happens.

Jason Grilli
"More #badcasemondays. Power just went out in neighborhood. Funny thing is now garage door is stuck open. At least I got my car out! Haha"

Keith Bulluck
"Margahrita Monday may not happen for the kid 2day...the recovery part is what's holding me bac right now,but it's only 1 o'clock so we'll c"

Renee Montgomery
"If a real fat man snatches u up & throws u in a bag don't b afraid. Its just Santa collecting his Ho's for Christmas... 18 days left : )"

How I See It: And if that bag is a golf bag, tell Tiger to cut it out.

Freddy Adu
"def Have some decisions to make within the next couple of weeks"

How I See It: Safe bet.

Shawne Merriman

Jessica Gysin
"Sad I'm missing the Laker game but I have class! How do they look?"

How I See It: They are very large and have gold and purple clothes on. One of them looks as if he hasn't shaved or gotten a haircut since the Berlin Wall fell.

How I See It: This was taken out of context, I gotta admit. But you don't wanna see the context. Trust me.

"I love how things get blown up for nothing, all that was said is that we need to play better & we didnt need to be told that..NOW HEADLINES?"

How I See It: In the Shawne Merriman School of Logic, venting frustration about being quoted by the media means you should provide said media more quotable material.
