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.

Sorry - I meant to put a disclaimer on it. I work at Handmark and we had originally developed an app called Sportcaster that got rebranded as CBS Sports this year.

Cool idea. I'm a diehard Washington Wizards fan (sad, I know) and tend to unfollow a lot of players in favor of reports/beat writers/bloggers. 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…

I'll definitely back up the desire to see feeds of reporters and bloggers rather than, or in addition to, players. For example, I'm a Cavs fan. Big news right now is the Cavs' search for a new head coach. I'm much more interested in that than I am C.J. Miles' desire to get "custom car stuff" done, which is what his last tweet was about :) But players aren't going to be tweeting about the coaching search, most likely.

This is really cool. Would love to see further expansion into other leagues.

Totally, which league(s) would you like to see added next?

Beautiful. Well done!

Have you seen tweeting-athletes.com? Might be a good way to grab the twitter handles for additional sports.

For what it's worth, the first thing I did was send it to my brother with, "Hey, your kids may be interested in this." That was a reaction independent of any bias towards the source.

Great work - I think you're on to something!
