Apolo Ohno
"Packing...."
How I See It: For what? Do you actually have things to do in between every Winter Olympics?

Marshall Faulk
"Please don't tell me the heat can't close this one out."
How I See It: Yeah, they can finish games. It’s not like you’re watching the Knicks…

Lance Armstrong
"Is it really already May?"
How I See It: Can you really not read a calendar?

Kevin Durant
"Tough game, but we have to stay positive! Thanks for the inspiration!! Back to work tomorrow!"
How I See It: Those are a ton of exclamation points for a 13-point loss.

How I See It: Did he knock that tooth out for the playoffs too?

Amar'e Stoudemire
"Up early. I couldn't sleep. Drinking a hot green tea. Thanks to all the Fans, Reporters an Teammates for the support this year. Cheers"
How I See It: Notice how Amar'e doesn't thank the team chiropractor. Dang back spasms.

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!!)"

Apolo Ohno
"I'm All About Super Nutrient Dense Foods"

How I See It: Whatever floats your boat, Apolo. I’m just wondering what makes a food super nutritiously dense.

Tyreke Evans
"Striving for Greatness because u can't put a measure on success!!! Get ya FIDONCE up"

How I See It: “FIDONCE?” I think I get it! It’s confidence without the “con” (clever), and the “e” mysteriously replaced with an “o.” Hmmmmm ...

Daniel Wilcox
"Eating once a day make u fatter not skinnier! And unhealthy as well! So don't do it! U should eat at least 4 times a day!"

How I See It: I’ll be sure to take your advice the next time I want to gain 20 pounds.

Brandon Jennings
"I see what type of season this gon be....."

How I See It: Yup. 44-38 regular season with a first-round exit for the Bucks, and 16 points, six assists on 37 percent shooting for Jennings. Book it.

Cole Aldrich
"Why make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm."

How I See It: Cole, not to ruin your “FIDONCE,” but I’m pretty sure you should leave that to teammate Kevin Durant.

Daniel Orton
"Back on this halo. New gamertag danielorton21 hit me up"

How I See It: Well, this is always encouraging news. A first-rounder who somehow only averaged 3 points per game in college is working on his “Halo” game just weeks before training camp. Luckily he has a guy named Dwight Howard playing in front of him.

Jared Dudley
"Is it me or is Everybodys Pet Peeve that Bicyclist think there a Damn car lol.It's gettin crazy I saw one turnin onto the freeway!!"

How I See It: Agreed, but a bigger pet peeve of mine: People posting twitter updates on their phone about annoying bicyclists while they are driving.

Share:

Kenny Perry
"Hey Fans, how about this August heat? Let me remind you to go to my new website and register to win a set of... http://fb.me/DGBT10LO"

How I See It: This might be the worst tweet of all-time because a) The two clauses have nothing to do with each other (Hey Kenny ... how 'bout Brett Favre? While we're on the topic, let me remind you to visit my site), and b) because that link just leads to his homepage. It doesn't tell us what we win. WHAT DO WE WIN, KENNY?!!

James Harden
"What should I do for my 21st Birthday?"

How I See It: Go to a strip club, get hammered, bring $80,000 in singles, go to the top floor, and dump the garbage bags over the railing onto the crowd below ... it's foolproof.

Maurice Edu
"Bondi Beach where we went surfing...well tried lol http://tweetphoto.com/36640071"

How I See It: Today, Maurice Edu was that super annoying guy on Twitter who sent a tweet every 5 minutes about the new place he was in Sydney. I hope one of those drop bears drops onto his face.

Apolo Ohno
"Ding dong... Oooo! Check out what my good buddies @EASports sent me! Madden '11 !! Will give an update when I play it later today... :-)"

How I See It: Bigger injustice? Apolo getting free video games, or the Miami Heat?

Hunter Pence
"Ya I'm good not too much going on just playing starcraft2 about to head to the field."

How I See It: I can't tell if he's talking about a field in the video game or the baseball field. I wonder what weapon he's using.

Corey Pavin
"Good luck to all playing at the US Open this week!!! Way too many players to name....but I'm rootin' you all on!"

How I See It: Should we assume you aren't playing?

Joe Haden
"I went 2 the NFL hall of fame in canton Ohio 2day with all the rookies! And I bought 2 Joe Haden 23 jerseys out of the store!! Lol"

How I See It: Those will probably the only Joe Haden jerseys ever there.

Sean May
"Def spent some money! I'm @ apple! But it wasn't for me so that's ok I guess"

How I See It: Father's Day shopping?

Steven Nyman
"Did FIFA and WWE join forces? Is there real soccer without acting like there is wrestling?"

How I See It: It's nothing new. Has always been like that and always will be.

Apolo Ohno
"headed 4 dinner with my dad~ catch me if you can...."

How I See It: If you're skating there, then I have no chance of catching you.

Natasha Hastings
"24!"

How I See It: Not sure if she’s talking about Jack Bauer or Kobe Bryant. And I’m not sure which one is more likely to be eliminated either.

Kassim Osgood
"I think im the only person on Twitter to lose 3 followers in 3 weeks, but still have the same total! Lol!!!"

How I See It: Wait, so you lost 3 but you added 3 at the same time? I’m really confused. No wonder you lost 3 followers (but gained 3 too?).

Apolo Ohno
"Never say never"

How I See It: And yet you just said it twice. The ultimate paradox, and dumbest expression ever.

Charlie Villanueva
"Aight budtweets, I'm on the road again. Catch ya later. Peace."

How I See It: If you’re taking the road out of Detroit, can you take your massive contract with you? Thanks.

Ray Rice
"I'm wost than a lil kid just spilled my whole salad on myself smh"

How I See It: And you know Ray meant to spill his salad, of course.

Cassie Campbell
"Finally time to have a Bar-B-Q in Calgary...17 today and supposed to get better"

How I See It: At first I thought, "She's so hardcore, firing up the BBQ in the snow." And then I realized she meant Celsius. My bad.

Thurman Thomas
"Mrs. Obama is talking about OBESITY and BHO came to Buffalo and ate Wings,french fries, and onion rings..... WTH!!!!!"

How I See It: As a Buffalonian, I can attest to the fact that we don't have the healthiest food. We also don't have a basketball court in our house. Let the prez eat!

Karen Bardsley
"whoa, Drake was in 'Charlie Bartlett?'"

How I See It: Before Drake was Drake, he was just another Canadian tween heartthrob on high school television dramas. "Charlie Bartlett" was no exception.

Apolo Ohno
"I like that..my 7th anniversary of My 21st.... :-)s"

How I See It: The 21st is the only one that matters, Apolo. It deserves its own anniversary.

Shaun Phillips
"Stop working my homie @KhloeKardashian so hard or I'm going to come tackle someone."

How I See It: If you're famous just for being famous, you def deserve to be ragged on. Sorry, Shaun!

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.

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.

Taylor Phinney
"This aboriginal ice dance is the most rediculous thing I've ever seen! Who comes up with this stuff? All I can say is......Really???"

How I See It: So apparently this qualifies as a sport, but baseball and softball aren't good enough. Cool.

Ryan Bedford
"Haha we won! I've never seen more disappointed canadians in my life."

How I See It: See WBC, US coming back against Canada, down by four (... in Toronto).

Apolo Ohno
"Just finished the medals ceremony. Awesome USA support! Caught the end of our mens USA hockey team put the smack down 2! Nice boys!!!s"

How I See It: I wouldn't call it a smack down; I'd call it a blindsiding. We came out of nowhere to win that one ...

John Thornton
"Seems like everyone is tweeting about hockey....NHL should be this popular: )"

How I See It: We're not much for world sports, especially ones that we aren't good at ... (see soccer).

JR Celski
"Uh oh canada..."

How I See It: The American speedskating team that kept the Hamelins off the podium or the USA hockey team? Man, how do our countries get along?

How I See It: He's taking this a lot better than I take 8th-place finishes on Mario Kart.

Apolo Ohno
"Ps-my apologies for "spoiling" certain results....I keep forgetting most USA has east coast feeds.."
