To follow up my previous post expressing the importance of intelligent
Twitter-use, I’ve decided to include some suggestions for the best people to
follow in the sports business community. These are just a few of the many smart,
entertaining, and informative industry professionals that are very active on
Twitter (in no particular order).
Jayson Stark - @jaysonst
- A baseball expert source -- Stark provides statistics, in-depth
analysis, and of course some fun baseball trivia! As a local guy, he has great feedback on the Philadelphia sports scene.
Buster Olney - @Buster_ESPN
- Another baseball aficionado, Olney tweets any current news
and information from across the league. Everything you’d need to know, this guy
will tell you first.
Darren Rovell - @darrenrovell
- From the business side of the industry, Rovell is always
teaching me knew things and provides plenty of interesting facts. Not to
mention, his photos and videos from around the nation are always entertaining
Rachel Nichols - @Rachel_Nichols
- She might be all over the place, but you can always expect
her on the sideline, talking to players and coaches. She tweets very unique
insight, quotes, and observations.
Rick Reilly - @ReillyRick
- A long time journalist and writer, he has a way with
words. He’s goofy and informative at the same time. What could be better?
Those are a few of my personal suggestions. Who are your
favorite people to follow on Twitter? Let me know! I’m always looking to add to
my spectrum.
