Twitter and Sports Info

Every once in a while a twitter thread pops up, and never gets more than a couple posts. However, I think this is something we stats guys can utilize. Twitter isn't hard. Twitter isn't scary. Twitter has a lot of information at your finger tips. Some of our top posters here are on Twitter. Think Facebook, but better and no posts from moms about their kids being in the 99th percentile.

Funny, we all have our superstitions with posting plays, I have mine. Didn't start out so hot posting plays here. I took a week off, posted my plays on twitter, opposite results. lol

Ok, why am I posting? I think we need some information sharing. I'll do what I can to keep a master list of people we should all be following. But I need some help. Post the following:

1. Who do you follow on twitter with valuable sports information? Why follow them?

2. If you want to share, post your twitter handle.

I'll be back in a bit with some of my recommendations.

steve'o, out of the 291 that you follow, would you say you have some favorites?

I only follow 135 and even that's overwhelming for me.
