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-time, in-game twitter dashboard like how you're displaying things now, but with those bloggers/reporters. It can be hard to keep track of it all on a single-line twitter feed... maybe a tweet that gets a lot of "action" somehow (retweets, replies, not sure how you'd measure it) could be displayed more prominently.

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.

+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:

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

Great insight, love hearing this stuff from active sports followers. Yeah I'll remove those @user posts, good call.

The real-time stuff, totally. That stuff's really exciting to think about (and build!). Anything to connect people better with their teams.

Wow, +1 for diehard Wizards fan.

They have a pretty good backcourt with Beal and Wall. If they can unload the attractive expiring massive contract of Okafor and Nene via trades, they can rebuild the team.

The Wizards always had potential from having Webber and Ben Wallace prior to their prime; then to having Michael Jordan in come back and then to Agent Zero.

The problem was bad luck with Arenas injury, bad Kwame Brown pick.
