The Best & Worst Athlete Tweets




By: Chris

Recently, Twitter has exploded onto the scene as the perfect mean for fans to religiously follow their favorite athletes and celebrities, hearing it straight from the source. Here are some of the best and worst "Tweets" over the past few months:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shaquille O'Neal

"Happy birthday , main harry potter charachter dude" posted July 23rd, 4:28 AM

Nice touch with the spelling, Shaqtus. You completely failed to recall the name of one of the most famous actors in the world yet you still seem to feel the need to wish them a happy birthday. Wow.

Mark Madsen

"wondering about airport screening lines and taking your shoes off for metal detector....bacteria/fungus/parasites on the ground? barefeet?" posted on July 20th, 11:50 AM

Hm.. so a site that fans follow you through (wait... does anybody follow him?) is where you ask about foot fungus at an airport?

Chad Johnson

"My damn television lamp light went out, the sound is on but no picture, can i get the lamp light for my TV from HOME DEPOT?" posted on July 27th, 8 hours ago

Yes, Chad, the megastore for home improvement and construction services is sure to have a bulb. I mean, Best Buy or Circuit City surely don't carry that.

"My flight get to ATL at 7pm, is somebody gonna pick me up? Straight up i am serious, trying to interact with my damn followers, no kidnappin"

Great idea. Let some one you don't know pick you up! That's the way to teach kids. Chad

Paul Pierce

"Lakers vs orlando. Looked like a german sherperd vs a poodle that's ok the rotwieler celtics will b back in 2o10" posted June 17th, 4:06 PM

Ah.. the horrible grammar, horrible similes, horrible trash talk. Stay classy, Pierce.

Andy Roddick

"definitely had buerhle on the bench for my fantasy baseball team toady..... doh!"

Many people feel the guy's pain, including Jake on this site actually too. Very personal guy, displayed here in one of his tweets.

Jose Canseco

"Manny Ramirez tested positive for performance enhancing drugs and has been suspended by MLB for 50 games." Posted May 7th, 6:05 AM

Oh the irony... it almost seems cynical of him to be breaking/posting the news like that.

"Of the 103 unnamed palyers on the list who tested positive for steroids in 2003, Manny Ramirez's name is most likely on the list, 90%"

Damn, this guy sort of predicted it. Maybe the seemingly useless **** coming out of his mouth (or sometimes on paper in his books) might not be so worthless after all.

Eli Manning

"pro bowl was fun"

Very exciting Eli. Which is more boring.. this tweet or his on-the-field football expression?
