Check out the CBS Sports app on iOS and Android. It has curated Twitter lists for all sports and leagues - iOS : https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cbs-sports/id307184892?mt=8 ; Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handmark.s...

Interesting note: CBS Sports app is developed by a Kansas City, MO mobile development company called Handmark.

Cool stuff, do you have an open-source version? I'd love to use this type of format for similar stuff I'm working on.

Check out http://isotope.metafizzy.co/ created by David DeSandro. You'll be able to do just about everything you see with it :)

Awesome! Thanks, I'm going to add it to http://verbalcommits.com

The tweets are just more substantive for basketball junkies. A couple of random thoughts: 1) Remove the directed tweets -- i.e. "@user blah blah blah" 2) Beat writers/bloggers act as a filter and tend to retweet interesting player tweets anyway 3) It'd be awesome to see a real…

+1 for being a tortured Wizards fan +1 for the comments above (add @moneymetalcakes!) Also, thank you for making software for sports fans. The stuff from the big media companies is freaking terrible. Let me know if you'd like to participate in a future Sports Hack Day: http://sportshackday.com

That sports hack day looks cool, ping me on twitter when you have the next one scheduled!

I've heard this comment from a number of people, thanks for posting. I agree, an aggregate of bloggers/writer alongside player tweets would be a nice added value, thinkin' on it.

Hey thanks man! ESPN has a handful of open apis that I'm using, mainly the atheltes and teams resources. Check out the full list at http://developer.espn.com/docs
