NFL

Twitter:

@RapSheet

My favorite twitter source for NFL news is Ian Rapoport. He’s a reliable source that works for NFL Network and provides information on the most recent news surrounding The National Football League. He also writes a good amount for NFL.com and does a good job of providing content.

@AdamSchefter

Adam Schefter is probably the most well known source for NFL information. He’s all over ESPN and is arguably the best source for information regarding the NFL. Schefter is notoriously known for being the first to report breaking news and give incite concerning recent news around the league. Schefter is a must follow for all NFL football fans.

@McShay13 

Todd McShay is another ESPN reporter that you probably see on television frequently around the NFL draft. McShay is a good source for NFL draft news, mock drafts and player evaluation. He also is a really good reporter in the college football scene. McShay is definitely a must follow for NFL draft news and mock drafts.

Fansided is another really solid NFL source for all news. I have recently been using this source a lot for news regarding the NFL draft. Fansided does a good job in covering the draft and pushing out new mock drafts. It’s a good source if you want to have an inside scoop on who your team could select in the draft. This is a great source to use around draft time.

Baseball Prospectus is a great source if you’re a hard core baseball fan. This account provides extreme in-depth player evaluation and news for all of Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball and draft prospects. This is probably not a source you would frequently use if you’re a casual fan because of how in-depth the information is but it is a great source if you closely follow the league.

Baseball America is a good source for all ranges of baseball. It covers high school, college, and professional baseball. This is a source more for the high school and college baseball news but it all surrounds the MLB. This is a great source for draft news and player evaluation at the younger levels.

Bob Nightengale is a great source for general news around

the league. Nightengale provides the core news surrounding trades, interactions, in game reporting and current trending topics. He also can be humorous at times when interacting with fans on twitter which makes is content more original and interesting to view.

Adrian Wojnarowski who works for ESPN as their Senior NBA Insider is one of the best sources on twitter regarding NBA news. He provides great insight on breaking news in trades, injures, trending topics and recent signings throughout the league. He also has a podcast called “The Woj Pod” that is worth listening to. Woj is a source worth giving a follow for all NBA fans.

This site is good for all NBA current news, trade rumors, NBA Development League news, European league news and specific sections for your favorite team and players.

This website is by far the best in my opinion for NBA draft news, mock drafts, rankings , history and pretty much anything you can think of relating to the NBA draft and records. They keep up to date mock drafts and push out out lot of articles surrounding players entering the draft.
