    Garrett’s ‘Tweet of the Week’ on Universal Sports… @the_real_shaq

    Posted by Mark G      
    		  

    Check out Garrett's 'Tweet of the Week' on Universal Sports.

    "You know the rules - three tweets enter a room, only one walks out with a golden ribbon. Here are the top three nominees for Tweet of the Week: Tweet #1 "My last dream: @the_real_shaq & I were @ a waterpark together then ended up @ some crazy club w tons of fine ladies...the rest is history" -Two-time Olympic swimming gold medalist Garrett Weber-Gale Tweet #2 "Did our own version of 'Mythbusters' today. It's confirmed: Disc golf discs can and will cut your face when they collide with it." -Olympic snowboarder Graham Watanabe, perhaps inspired by opening week of Jackass 3D. Tweet #3 "melted down in the am 3x20min skate interval..Then tore out the downstairs bathroom...then taught the dog to rollover..now hangin w'Wife D!" -Two-time Olympic Nordic combined medalist Bill Demong, describing a day that sounds nothing like any we've ever lived, given that we've never melted down in a skate interval (and don't really know what that entails), never torn out a bathroom (but would like to), don't own a dog and are not married (yet)." [caption id="attachment_1657" align="aligncenter" width="420" caption="http://www.universalsports.com/blogs/blog=mr.universe/postid=496670.html#tweet+week+weber+gale+shaq+best+friends"]Garrett Weber-Gale and Shaq featured in 'Tweet of the Week'[/caption] "However, as much as we're intrigued by the notion of taking a sledgehammer to a downstairs restroom or throwing a frisbee into a fellow golfer's face (as Watanabe apparently did), the winner of this week is another athletic figment of imagination: Weber-Gale, who not only conjured the image of himself and Shaq hanging out at "some crazy club," but also added the comical snapshot of a two-time Olympic swimming champion and 7-foot-1, 325-pound NBA center giddily churning down water slides that they should have outgrown two gold medals ago (or in the case of Shaq, some 200 lbs. ago). "And for that, we are appreciative."
