Who's reliable on Twitter for late breaking sports news?

I'm curious who you' all follow to get "reliable" information. I'd like to get MLB, NHL, CFB & CBB breaking news.

There's a lot, and it depends on the sport/team.
Tigers/Baseball: Jayson Beck, JP Morosi, Jon Heyman, Scott Miller, Dany Knobler
MSU/Lansing area/College: Rexrode, Jeremy Sampson, Mark Hollis, Joe Shad, Comp, Dan Wetzel, Gregg Doyle, Andy Katz, Gary Parish...
Others: Dave Birkett, Jason LaConforna (NFL/Lions) Derren Rovell, Pete Themel
That's a good start.

Add Chris Vannini to RPMad's list. Vannini is an MSU grad, did some work with MLB.com and MLive. I might be wrong, but I think he's between jobs and has all the time in the world to surf the net and post updates. He may not be fastest on late breaking news, but he follows so many people he'll retweet it about as fast as they can write it.

Vannini is pretty good too...I follow 200+ people, most of them about sports so I didn't get that far on my follow list.

Schefter for NFL is pretty damn good, better than Mortsenson. Heyman is the best MLB guy, with Morosi (MSU grad) a very close second.

I follow schad to see how late he is breaking stories.
All Cbs writers are a must.
Bryan Fischer for football...he retweets everything worthwhile... Goodman and Parrish are great.
Andy Glockner is a must for hoops/tourney selection.

I was reading my most recent issue of WIRED Magazine and there was a short piece about ordinary (see: not in the media) people breaking stories on Twitter, like the plane flying into the Hudson River and Osama Bin Laden dying (some Pakistani guy saw the helicopter), etc. Like it or hate it, Twitter has changed news and mostly for the better.

Dorsey doesn't tweet as much as others but the info he gives when he does is much better than any of the other "analysts".
