The Daily Hat Trick stays on top of the movers and shakers in the sports world. Once again, we, being me and my imagination, have gotten our hands on the private, top secret Tweets sent out by players and coaches, for players and coaches. I had to do a few things I would not admit to in a job interview to get these, but my dedication to you, the reader, is unbreakable. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail...you do not really care, do you? On to this week’s edition of “Word on the Tweet”….
Wal-Mart CEO Michael Duke and NBA Commissioner David Stern discussing the possibility of contraction in the NBA….
Duke: @SternDiscipline Dave, is this true, what I have been hearing about you getting rid of a few teams? #OpportunityKnocking
Stern: @FirstRetailThenTheWorld We’re considering everything. Some of these teams just aren’t bringing home the bacon. We can’t find buyers for the teams and there aren’t any better markets to which we can move teams. #UpToSomething RT @SternDiscipline Dave, is this true …
Duke: @SternDiscipline At Wal-Mart, we minimize costs, in part, by purchasing in volume. I saw the #Hornets for sale for $300 mil. Could we get a package deal and buy all four teams you want to dump for a cool billion? #NewOrleansGreatValue #MemphisPresidentsChoice #MinnesotaSams RT @SternDiscipline At Wal-Mart, we minimize costs …

Duke: @SternDiscipline U-whats??? How much to you have to pay them? Ten bucks an hour? No…kids can work for you? No wonder you’re losing money! #WorldsGreatestBoss
Players Union Rep: @FirstRetailThenTheWorld Wal-Mart?? We should go on strike NOW! #OverOurDeadBodies #ColdDayInHell #PigsFly RT @SternDiscipline U-whats??? How much to you have to pay them? …
Brett Favre and former NFL RB Herschel Walker, who is considering a comeback to the NFL at age 48….
Favre: @DontNeedAWalker Are you sure you want to do this? The league is pretty rough today. #Insanity #EvenImNotThatDelusional
Walker: @OlGunslinger I’m in the best shape of my life. Besides, the #MMA thing is cool, but I want some better product endorsements. #MedicalMiracle #FourThreeFortyTime RT @DontNeedAWalker Are you sure…
Favre: @DontNeedAWalker Tell you what, I’ll reach out to some sponsors that didn’t quite fit my brand, but might be interested in you. We forty-somethings have to stick together! #Geritol #Depends #Metamucil #Ensure #RockingChairs #FuneralHomes RT @OlGunslinger I’m in the best shape of my life. …

Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens on Ochocinco changing his name back to “Johnson”….
Ochocinco: @TOShow I’m done with this “Ochocinco” business man. It is played. It’s time for a name change.
Owens: @OchoCinco Finally growing up? #AboutTime
Ochochinco: @TOShow Yeah. Besides, if they trade me, I might not even wear #85. I’ve gotta learn the numbers in CHINESE for my next team!
Owens: @OchoCinco Dude, it’s getting old. #ChildPlease #EvenImEmbarrassed

Willis Reed (former New York Knick who played in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals with a severely torn thigh muscle) and Bears QB Jay Cutler, who left the NFC Championship Game with a sprained knee….
Cutler: @LastNameEverFirstNameToughest It’s an honor to Tweet you, Mr. Reed. Let me ask you: was it worth it?
Reed: @VealCutler I thought I blocked you?!?! #YouAreNotWorthy #GrowAPair #ManUp RT @LastNameEverFirstNameToughest It’s an honor …
