Tweets of the Week returns with our favorite 140 character missives dispatched from Miami, where the players are battling the heat, humidity, and each other at the Sony Ericsson Open.

9. To every generation, a boy band: I can’t keep up either, Brooklyn. Did “New Kids on the Block” or “‘N SYNC” look this young back in the day?

As an NSYNC teenybopper, I thought NKOTB fans were old! Now I hear "Directioners" are the new "Beliebers." I can't keep up. It's exhausting.—

10. A man needs his tools: Musicians get to carry on guitars. Tennis players get to carry on rackets. What’s wrong with a samurai bringing his tools on board?

Here’s the best of the week from the Twitterverse.
