Technically we can via RSS (we already have RSS feeds from yahoo sports, etc...) but I would not be in favor of it since so much of twitter is just nonsense.

Just sign up for twitter and watch it for a month and you will see what I mean.

Some suggestions of people to follow:

Adam_Schefter - an absolute must if you want latest breaking NFL scoops.
Lfitzgerald11 - he tweets pretty regularly
Ddockett - Darnell is all over the place nuts.
Cardschatter - Darren Urban, definitely follow.

I hear ya.. I realized after I posted this some of the tweets would be nonsense.. But from a news stand point it would be cool.. Thats what I guess I was trying to go with..

Yeah, Schefter and Urban are pretty solid, and that might be worth a look. But I don't think it adds any value when Dock says "Who wants to go jet-skiing!" It's just all over the place.

But definitely follow Schefter. I swear that guy must have incriminating pictures of Drew Rosenhaus. He is usually the fastest with breaking NFL news.

Schefter, Urban, Somers would be a great idea I think.

Certainly better then some of the RSS feeds we get. :)

Maybe Sando too, although a lot of his stuff is just rewritten.
