Give people a forum to speak their mind in 140 characters or less and you have provocative, diverse and controversial thoughts on the Internet. Give a sports celebrity the same forum, and you have this.

From Cincinnati Bengals' Chad Ochocinco (@OGOchocinco): Go to http://ochocinco.com to order my cereal OCHOCINCOs. Start your day with a lil suga!!!

Just DON'T call the number on the side of the box. Unless you are into that sort of thing.

From Florida Gators' Ahmad Black (@AhmadBlack35): I think it's funny when people tie their shoes tight and string them up all the way to the top when they're only walkin to class haha

Ummm, we're not supposed to tie our shoelaces all the way to the top when we walk to class? Who made this fashion faux pas up?

From Team Europe Ryder Cup golfer Graeme McDowell (@Graeme_McDowell): Check out my new haircut!!! Rory McIlroy wigs on the first tee today!!!

In case you thought Euros didn't know how to act like goofy Americans, think again.

From NASCAR driver Scott Speed (@scottspeed): Are u a looser if when ur wife is gone and u have the house to urself u stay up till 5am playing madden on ps3?!? Lol

That's not how we would describe a "looser," no.

From San Diego Chargers' Shaun Phillips (@ShaunPhillips95): Back to work we go. I'm not sure why we always start off slow but I promise charger fans we are going to do our best to get this right. Love u guys.

The reason why you always start off slow is because you lose games, that we are sure of.

From Cincinnati Bearcats' Vidal Hazelton (@Vidal_Hazelton7):   In class So Far I'm 100 Percent attendance this Week let's see if I can keep it up haha its hard..

Wait a minute ... this week??????????

From Minnesta Timberwolves' Michael Beasley (@RealMIkebeasley): how yall doin???? im fine thankful that i woke up breathin!!!!!

Indeed. In fact, we bet you would be pretty ticked to wake up not breathing.

From South Carolina Gamecocks' Lanning Spencer (@Lanning Spencer): Who else is participating in NoShaveOctober?

All the other slackers?

From NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya (@jpmontoya): Raining like crazy here in miami. Surprised that the kids have school.

It's probably the reason why raincoats, umbrellas and galoshes were invented.

From South Carolina Gamecocks' Lanning Spencer (@LanningSpencer): Got the new flu shot. Now I feel like crap and have a swollen lymph node.

Maybe this is why you believe in "NoShaveOctober."

From the official twitter account of the Ryder Cup (@rydercup): Team Europe player @ianjamespoulter is pleased with the fashion for the week "Absolutely perfect, there's even some pink in there somewhere"

Here's an idea: Let Ian Poulter design all the Euro outfits next time.

From Florida Gators' Ahmad Black (@AhmadBlack35): The dumbest question in the world is when people actually ask me do I think were gonna win..if I didn't, would I really sit here and say no?

We think we just found Lou Holtz's replacement on College Gameday when Dr. Lou retires.

From golfer John Daly (@PGA_JohnDaly): No tweeting allowed during Ryder Cup week--captains decided this goes for all players! So, I'll be available to tweet! LoL

John's Arkansas Razorbacks have a bye week after losing a heartbreaker to Alabama, so while we will be spared from his "pig sooie" tweets, we do expect some "Chomp Chomp" tweets when Bama plays Florida on Saturday.

From New York Knicks' Wilson Chandler (@wilson_chandler), two tweets:

— On my way to JFK, boarding this joint 4 Italy ... Wish I could take my whole fam n homies wit me ... We neva seen nothin like dis b4 no lie

— We dnt do passports where I'm from. lol be lucky to leave the block, but God is good so I'm blessed!

We thought this tweet was a great way to point out that some athletes are extremely grateful and humble for their fortunes. Chandler is one of them. Mad props.

From Oklahoma Sooners' Jaz Reynolds (@JazReynolds), after news of a gunman who committed suicide on the University of Texas campus: Hey everyone in Austin, tx.......kill yourself. evil laugh

And some athletes are complete jerks. (update: he has been suspended indefinitely and the twitter account is deactivated)

From golfer Joe Ogilvie (@olgilviej): Assume they are saving good looking US uniforms for game day at Ryder Cup, thus far I wouldn't rake leaves in first few costumes.

Where is John Daly and his Loudmouth pants to save the Team USA from total embarrassment?

From golfer Christina Kim (@TheChristinaKim): Oh my sweet Jesus. I just saw a glimpse of TW [Tiger Woods] on the Golf Channel. WTF is Corey thinking with that rain suit?! Beyooooond tacky. Shameful!!!

Clearly this Ryder Cup stuff is serious business.

From Cleveland Cavaliers' Anthony Parker (@AMP1808): Great first day of practice! Lots of running! Felt like Forrest Gump out there!

Hmmm, that should fire up those Cavalier season-ticket holders.

From NFL free agent Mike Moore (@MikeMoore17):   Do any Italian restaurants deliver downtown???

How do grown men can even get out of bed without help?
