Retweet of the Day - October 18, 2012

Ah! Election season.... You never know what memorable one-liners political candidates will drum up. Allmost all of the snappy one-liners will work to someone's detriment, sometimes the detriment of the person delivering the line.

One of the most memorable lines from the presidential debate earlier this week was former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney responding to a question about equal pay for women in the workplace. Romney attempted to explain how he personally has made efforts for gender diversity on his past staffs and said that he gathered "binders" full of women to consider for positions.

And...cue the Twittersphere. The Internet loved Mitt's contribution to the endless supply of worldwide web memes. This leads us to today's Retweet, by Danny Wier ‏(@LudwigVanTX) about a star NFL player with "binders full of women" of his own.

"BREAKING: Jets CB Antonio Cromartie has broken the NFL all-time record for most women in a binder."

Retweet of the Day - October 5, 2012

I generally try to avoid any discussion of politics on the Hat Trick. Political discussions have their place and a sports blog isn't it. Politics are divisive. Sports bring people together, even when they disagree.

However, there is very little dispute that the Republican Presidential Nominee, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, cleaned the clock of President Barack Obama in the first Presidential debate this past Wednesday. Even most of the news talk commentators who have consistently supported the President concede that Romney won the debate.

How does this tie into sports? Future Hall of Fame NBA center Shaquille O'Neal recently said that Brooke Lopez of the Brooklyn Nets and Andrew Bynum of the Philadelphia 76ers were the two best true centers in the NBA. The glaring omission in that statement was the name of Dwight Howard, who is the best center in the NBA according to nearly every other informed and rational opinion regarding basketball.

Shaq can be a troll when he feels jilted. Following the 2008 NBA Finals in which Kobe Bryant and the Lakers were outsed by the Boston Celtics, Shaq recorded an impromptu diss freestyle at Kobe's expense with the hook, "Tell me how my ass tastes!" That leads us to today's retweet, by T.J. Patterson ‏(@tjpatterson13).


"Romney thinking right now "tell me how my ass tastes"!! #romneyvictory @shaq"

"Check it! Check it! You know how I be. Last night Barry O. couldn't f__ with me! ... Barack, (expletive), TELL ME HOW MY ASS TASTES!"

Retweet of the Day - September 7, 2012

It's an election year. With the conclusion of the 2012 Democratic National Convention last night, the political season is in full swing. Pundits from both ends of the political spectrum are speculating about who launched themselves to a brighter political future with their convention performances.

Today's retweet, from 17h Ted Starkey ‏(@TedStarkey) of SB Nation, captures that nicely.


"Hearing political pundits claim someone won or lost the election at the convention is like listening to sports radio after NFL Week 4."

NOT FAST MY FRIEND!
