  2. “Rice, video. Hardy, a judge. Peterson, photos. McDonald doesn't have that searing proof. If he ever does, he'll go. Not yet.”

10. Pierre LeBrun - @Real_ESPNLeBrun

1. As far as NHL coverage is concerned, it’s hard to think of another reporter that does more than Pierre LeBrun, who writes for both ESPN and ESPN’s Canadian cousin TSN.

9. Jay Glazer - @JayGlazer

1. If Adam Schefter has a competition with anyone when it comes to reporting breaking NFL-related news, it’s Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer. The bald man with the well-shaped goatee, has been the NFL Insider for NFL on Fox since 2004 and though he not as “on the money” as Schefter yet, he’s pretty damn close.

  1. “Both Roddy white and Doug Martin deactivated tonight”
  2. “Vikings have placed Adrian Peterson on Commissioner's exempt list, meaning he's shelved until further notice”

Matthew Berry is one of the most well-respected minds in the fantasy football world and he’s an active Twitter user to boot. Follow him for his weekly sleepers, injury updates and other inside info.

  2. “Whoa. RT @adamteicher Jamaal Charles is practicing with chiefs today. An interesting turn of events. Looked OK to me”

6. Darren Rovell - @darrenrovell

1. A lot of people don’t like Rovell because he tends to talk the economic-side of the sports, a topic many fans try to stay away from. But the man who was once the sole sports reporter for CNBC now has a much more conventional role with ESPN, and his Tweeting habits, though still laden with sports-business factoids, have gone more mainstream.

4. Bill Simmons - @BillSimmons

1. The man is a legendary sports journalist. He started Grantland, helped get the ESPN 30 for 30 series off the ground and runs the BS Report podcast. Did we mention he’s an author?—No?—Well he’s that too, having written The Book of Basketball. If that’s not enough, Bill Simmons hails from one of the most sports-crazed regions in America, greater Boston. Follow this man.

3. Michael Wilbon - @RealMikeWilbon

1. Not the most frequent Twitter user, Michael Wilbon aims for quality rather than quantity in his Tweets. Though he’s a Chicago-first journalist when it comes to sports news, he’s not a beat writer. As the co-host of ESPN’s PTI he talks plenty of Big 4 sports headlines on social media.

  2. “So incredibly sad to see Paul George injured like that...my first thought was of Joe Theisman's injury 30 years ago...All the best to Paul.”

2. Adam Schefter - @AdamSchefter

1. Adam Schefter may only cover one sport, but man does he cover the hell out of it. He’s ESPN’s go-to source for inside information and breaking news on the NFL, so you know Schefter isn’t just an average reporter. He Tweets consistently during the NFL season and absolutely dominates Twitter going into pregame on Sunday.

  2. “49ers DL Ray McDonald arrested, not charged. Different stage in legal process than other two cases. AP had indictment, Hardy a conviction.”

1. Scott Van Pelt - @notthefakeSVP

1. Oh, Scott Van Pelt. The man who made a name for himself as a SportsCenter anchor and one of the best actors on the This Is SportsCenter commercials, has dabbled in just about everything during his career: radio, sideline reporting and—you guessed—Twitter. He not always Tweeting the latest news, but he is usually blasting out pretty entertaining stuff.
