Sports Stars, Mainstream Media Members, and Blogging Brethren: Sweet Tweets

I was inspired to do this by recent articles.

Deadspin had two posts on Sunday from Twitter. That plane in the Hudson was a watershed moment for TwitPic. And Barack Obama’s inauguration yesterday overloaded Twitter in general.

Clearly, as a microblogging/thought-casting app, Twitter’s at a critical mass. I’ve compiled a thorough list of the teams, players, media personalities and bloggers on Twitter. This is by no means every sports-related Twitter user, but it’s a large chunk. Read on for more.

The Athletes, Coaches, and Teams

• New Jersey Nets:  Just updates by some unpaid intern.
• Dallas Mavericks: I don’t think it’s Cuban.
• Chicago Cubs: Should be done from Sweet Lou’s perspective.
• Chicago Blackhawks: Committed to the Twitter.
• Chicago Bears: Has RickRolled before, apologized.
• Natalie Gulbis: You, too, can learn everything about Natalie’s LPGA Tour schedule!
• Michael Phelps: Dubious veracity, unquestioned inactivity.
• Andy Murray: Because he’s the next big star?
• Pete Carroll: I expect frankness.
• Peyton Manning: That NYT article makes me think this is fake.
• Brett Favre: Fake and fake.
• Jerry Rice: Real.
• Eli Manning: Since brevity is the soul of Twit.
• Lance Armstrong: I believe it’s real.
