The 20 Must Follow Twitter Personalities For Football Season
Football, Lists, The Fam — By The Fam on September 25, 2012 at 2:30 am
I go through the same routine every Saturday and Sunday morning. I wake up at about 9:15 a.m., put on a hoodie and walk up the street to one of my favorite coffee houses in Oakland called Farley’s East. I grab my latte, momentarily gaze at the fine women that are jogging in the neighborhood, and walk back home. I turn the 51″ Hoshitoshi on to whatever football goodness is ready to be consumed. Then I do probably the most important thing of the day.
I turn on Twitter and allow my favorite follows to entertain me with their personal football commentary. This is what makes social media great.
The TSFJ scribes have collaborated to bring you our 17 favorite Twitter personalities that you should definitely follow during the football season. Some are phenomenal journalists, some are egregious parody accounts, and some are people we’re proud to call our friends. Be sure to check out their times and a major thanks to TSFJ contributors Joe Simmons, The Rev, Phillip Barnett, Dillon Friday, The NFL Chick, Shad Craft, Bryan Crawford, Mark Trible, Kenny Masenda, Jason Clinkscales and Justin Tinsley.
(Ed’s note: This list was initially inspired by the good folks over at Ball Don’t Lie and their list of Indispensable Must-Follows, but then SI came out with its Top 100 and Deadspin’s worst 67. Now making a list is damn near bastardized. However, just realize that our list of 20 is pretty damn personal, and we f*cks with almost all of these folks in real life.)

You best believe I went ahead and followed the people on this list I wasn’t already following. Looking forward to the entertainment and interaction going forward.
Great list… I def followed some new folks even tho I wasn’t on the list. *Cough.. @DatDudeEasy* ..lol.. Two names I would have added to the list. .. @IamKris24 and @CuffsTheLegend … two of the best pound for pound tweeters along with Dfly in my opinion.
Keep up the good work guys.
Already was following @IamKris24, consider yourself and CufssTheLegend followed as well.
Yeah Easy should be followed, and @pcola_boy (Keith Tolbert) as well as CJStarchild (Chris Stevens)… Man there are so many others you could name. Turning in one was tough. All good follows though. Dope list
For the hell of it, @SHERMradio goes on there too. His one appearance on The UC Show is still one of the funniest moments I’ve ever heard. D-Rose being injured isn’t funny, but you’ve gotta hear Sherm tell that story with Crawford around.
I’m in tears just thinking about it.
We’re saving @SHERMradio for basketball season, but yes…the man is a fool.

@IAMKris24 and Dfly are great follows. Also @GAlexander21 is a must-follow, dude is a former NFL player, and is hilarious about all things sports and pop culture. Would rec @Jpon too. Writes for @AlfieBCC’s site, and is funny with his takes on sports and married/family life.
I’m partial to @Mtrible, hoooo boy does that guy know what’s going on and how to make me laugh!
