I recently got Twitter for the upcoming sports season, hopefully to get up-to-the-minute scores, updates, and news. What Twitter accounts do you follow for this type of information?

I'm not looking for personal accounts like LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony. Rather, I'm looking more for scores/news-related accounts. Any ideas? Thanks!

No one. I'm probably the least up to date technologically wise 25 year old you will ever meet. Don't do Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, any of the social networking sites.

Oh yeah I just starting following Ohio Chatter too.

I have not gotten any Tweets from them yet but I am sure that will change once the season gets into gear.

I only follow John Fay(Reds), Ken Gordon(OSU), the OBR, and Windhorst. It get's too jumbled up if you follow too many, imo.

Don't bother following OhioChatter. The guy that runs the twitter account is a lazy moron.

anybody follow 50cent? Someone retweeted one of his yesterday and I started following him. I don't think he has a filter from his head to what he posts.

Uhh that would be a no. I generally try and follow people who are relevant. I'm surprised he knows how to turn on a computer

Right, but read some of the stuff he was tweeting yesterday and tell me it wasn't funny.

Oh I'm sure its funny. He is crazy. I just thought it was funny that somebody was still following 50 cent.

He didn't cross my mind until I think ochocinco retweeted him. He had some good ones about Ja Rule yesterday.

Hmm, I guess the irony here is that 50 Cent is more relevant to the world than jordo4893573485648596 is.
