Gathering data for a research project - any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Where do you get your sports news from?

Is it primarily from TigerDroppings, Twitter, Facebook, sports blogs or something else?

Do sports fans use television & sports talk radio for news anymore or just commentary & reaction on the day's events?

What's your favorite source for sports commentary: ESPN, FS1, sports talk radio, XM radio, podcasts, other?

Twitter (follow writers of your team, they will give out the info faster than ESPN does.)

ESPN alerts

Bleacher report alerts

I really believe mainly just for commentary and reaction.

the specialized TV channels will provide more specific news though. Like if the Boston Bruins waive a Defenseman, an NBA player gets a 10-day contract in Portland, etc

I honestly get all my news here. If I go to another site, it's because I clicked on a link posted here.

I get most of my sports news from TD and a group text I'm in with a few buddies.

My TV stays on the Golf Channel 80% of the time. I sometimes watch the Herd, Russillo and Kanell, and inside the NBA on TNT.

That's about it.

TigerDroppings, Sirius (channels 80-94 primarily), and two local AM stations.

To a lesser extent, Twitter and a little ESPN.

I get all my news from TD.

MSB- obviously sports

OT- who are the teacher's banging this week, and what kinda crazy shite is going on in Florida this week.

PT- check to see if it's the end of the world yet or if we're all good now.
