A little bird told me

So you've gone and gotten yourself a Twitter account. Congratulations. Here's hoping that you and your 140-character messages make many happy memories in the weeks, months and years to come.

According to the wisdom of the Tweet Sheet, figure skater Jeremy Abbott recently referred to himself as "the business."
According to the wisdom of the Tweet Sheet, figure skater Jeremy Abbott recently referred to himself as "the business."

As you find yourself adapting to everyday life in the Twitter universe, you may begin to notice that something's missing. Something substantial. It's a hollow, unpleasant feeling, the kind of thing that eats away at you for hours on end but you have no idea why.

You need not search for the answer any longer. The missing piece to your Twitter-related happiness is one harmonious page that aggregates all of your favorite Olympians' tweets into one convenient (and entertaining) location. It is NBCOlympics.com's "Tweet Sheet," the place you can (and should) go to learn what goes on in the everyday life of an Olympian.

For instance, if you had checked in on a random Friday in late January, you may have learned that:

  • Figure skater Jeremy Abbott was having lunch with "The bosses," and suggesting that they needed a business plan before explaining that "I'm the business";
  • According to American bobsledder Justin Olsen, "Evidently there is an OUTBREAK going on. If i hear about one more person throwing up I might have to go stay with the Russians";
  • Ice hockey player Angela Ruggiero was learning a thing or two about teaching first-graders;
  • Alpine skier Julia Mancuso was in the process of explaining the fine art of "Rodeling";
  • And halfpipe reader Steve Fisher was seamlessly blending the wisdom of Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco with references to Zoolander.

Just another day in the lives of Olympians, as seen through the eyes of the all-knowing hub of random insight and oddity known as the Tweet Sheet.
