When Athletes Tweet

RT @DeseanJackson10: Desean, can you please tweet this for the ESPYs party for tonight: “Chillin at the @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty. It’s awesome”

— When Athletes Tweet (@WhenAthletesTwt) July 11, 2012

So that whole “organic tweet” discussed between the agent, Nokia, & ESPN just went out the window as Desean includes the entire text sent to him. Next time, just use the quoted part, Desean.

UPDATE: Okay, I guess we’ll be a little more clear: DO NOT include the quotes either! That means you, Vince Young.

“Chillin’ at the @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty. It’s awesome.”

What started out as a single tweet from Chargers CB Quentin Jammer, turns into an all-out Twitter battle between himself & teammate Antonio Garay.

The “short arms” tweets from Jammer definitely remind us a bit of  T-Rex Trying.

Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness cause I might use my strength to choke ur ass out!!

Unlike Delonte West’s extreme excitement at the white tee selection at a Super Walmart, Aaron Williams decided to go for a late-night Instagram tour of his local Walmart. After hitting up the Luchador mask, hunting, and children’s bike sections, these are the results: Athletes of Walmart II.

Is “kayaking” the new planking or Tebowing? It’s starting to catch on thanks to Aziz Ansari’s AMEX Commercial, and now Nate Burleson.

sitting here jamming some R&B music and drawing this Scooby Doo picture…will post pic soon as im done

— Manny Arceneaux (@E_Arceneaux16) June 5, 2012

We weren’t too sure what to expect after that first post, but Manny Arceneaux (WR for the Vikings), came back with a top-notch Scooby Doo sketch.

Who says you can’t be just at drawing as you are at running routes?

Everybody has to get the new Jordan 11s coming out, oh wait thats @TSash bday cake #cakeboss #Giants @sneakerwatchcom twitter.com/NYG_J_Ballard8…

— Jake ballard (@NYG_J_Ballard85) June 5, 2012

This might take the cake (literally) for “best athlete birthday cake”. Take a fresh pair of Jordan 11s and turn it into a NY Giants-themed birthday cake? Pretty sweet.

The New Jersey Devils should bust out a Notorious B.I.G hologram to sing the anthem tomorrow night & really get this east-west series going.

People joked about “Hologram Coachella 2013″, but I think we’re onto something here. You can’t tell me that performance of “California Love” wouldn’t get the Staples Center rockin’ right before the puck drops.

Plus, if NJ drops both games at home, “Going Back To Cali” could become their new rallying cry.
