The crew at @ballhyped spent the past week combing through our favorite blogs and Twitter lists to come up with the Top 100 Sports Bloggers on Twitter.
OK, let's get this out of the way right at the top. This is a working list that's not scientific by any means, and I'd like to add to it (that's why there's still 15 or so positions open), so if you know of someone who was left off mention them in the comments below and we'll continue to update the list. Just make sure they have enough followers and are independent sports bloggers who write about topics that have national appeal.
Obviously your number of Twitter followers does not determine the quality of a particular sports blog, but it helps show what kind of audience it has and how many people are interested in what the blog/blogger have to say.
We also tried to avoid mainstream media here and focus on independent bloggers who blog about sports as a hobby or passion. [FYI, I've lumped the Yahoo! Sports bloggers into the mainstream media category because, well, Y! Sports is as good (and mainstream) as ESPN ... and their blogging gigs are paid, full-time positions.]
Sports bloggers who would like to build up their following should sign up for BallHyped.com, where you can post links to your blog posts and get FOLLOWED links and promotion/exposure on-site and the social mediasphere. We also have a handful or blogger resources just like this post in our Blogger Resources section.
