Arian Foster
@ArianFoster
Paper tastes funny, and not many donkeys have high self esteem. RT @hoobsher: @ArianFoster why aren't you a money hungry, self obsessed ass?
Floyd Mayweather
@FloydMayweather
I bet $250,000 on the Atlanta Falcons [last week]. Looks like easy money...
Lolo Jones
@lolojones
Ask Tebow if he wants a glass of milk. If he says yes, ask him if he prefers chocolate. If he says no, then no more Tebow date suggestions
Kevin Durant
@KDTrey5

If you are POTUS when a "Next big thing hits," you are a genius. If you are POTUS when a bubble bursts you are an idiot. Both are wrong

GRILLSEEKERS
TAILGATING SHOWDOWN
There are many ways to approach an NFL tailgate. You can bring a couple of deck chairs, a six-pack and some chips, and call it a morning. Or you can get medieval with a pig and a spit. Call it rotisserie football. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED wants to know which team's fans are the best tailgaters, so we're asking fans in every NFL city to make the case for their collective tailgate. Send your photos, videos and stories to give us a flavor of what goes down—and up in flames—in your Sunday morning lots and villages. On Oct. 1 we'll launch a 32-city tailgate bracket. The winners advance to the round of 16, to eight, right down to the finals of Tailgating Kings 2012. Go to SI.com/grillseekers to submit your favorite tale-gate.
