"You get alot of friends when you say, you got some GaGa tickets lol...Then they want them for Free! #childplease! lol"

"thinking im about to hit houston's restaurant solo ...oh well"

How I See It: Reminds me of Rachel from Friends. I don't get why there's such a stigma about eating alone in restaurants. Everyone deserves a little alone time. I support you, Shelton!

C.J. Miles
"The first home alone is classic"

How I See It: One of my go-to holiday movies. Christmas cheer in the middle of Spring, always a good choice.

Thurman Thomas
"The bill in Arizona Prohibits Racial Profiling, they put that in the Bill."

How I See It: Does the bill also capitalize random words?

Al Horford
"Buenas tardes a todos. Estoy de regreso en Twitter. Gracias a Los fanaticos que estan con nosotros en las buenas y en las malas. Nuestro..."

How I See It: Al Horford speaking Spanish. This tweet mysteriously cuts off ... ah, he must be in Arizona. Yeah, that explains it.

DeSean Jackson
"Bac in philly on my shit time 2 grind harder!! The take-over is coming...."

How I See It: Even DeSean sees it coming….after Kevin Kolb plays bad in week one, impatient Philly fans will be calling for Mike Kafka to replace him at QB. Hence “the take-over.”

Kris Humphries
"Winnersville got lucky in madden yesterday. Farve threw 2 picks; its crazy how accurate the game is."

How I See It: The game was also accurate enough to have the Minnesota radio announcer scream “THIS ISN’T DETROIT, THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL MADDEN!” after an interception.

Trent Shelton
"Some of these wolves to me look just like sheep"

How I See It: You ever hear the story of the boy who cried wolf? Now the wolves are taking trickery to a new level: disguise.

Drew Brees

How I See It:(insert Arenas/Crittenton gun joke here)

How I See It:This might be the best way to alienate your entire base of followers.

Renee Montgomery
"#randomfact Brad Pitt has been smoking since the sixth grade"

How I See It: Telling kids that Brad Pitt has been smoking since sixth grade is probably not the best way to prevent them from smoking.

Kevin Weekes
"Tweeters, I'll take the first 10 questions from minor hockey goalies and or parents,and adult rec goalies for tips,insights on the posistion"

How I See It: I’m sure the amount of tweets by minor league hockey goalies and their parents completely overwhelmed Kevin as soon as his tweet was sent out.

How I See It: It’s in the 60’s today in Florida … I think I shivered a couple times, and I had to break out the sweatshirt for the first time in a while. So I totally know what Bryant is going through right now.

Mark Teahen
"Just realized why Fitzgerald is a better reciever than I am....thumbs, he has them."

How I See It:Yeah … he has them. So do I. I guess I’ll throw my name out there for Anquan Boldin’s replacement when he bolts town.

Reggie Bush
"Those were some great College games yesterday...I think the Northwestern/Auburn game might have been the best of the day maybe the year!"

How I See It: Agreed. Also, Reggie should audition for the kicking job for the Wildcats next season.
