Information Overload


The intertubes are just flat out crazy these days. For sports fans there are a million different places find to news or opinions on your favorite teams. From the mainstream media, to blogs, to internet message boards, to social networking sites such as Facebook and now the Twitter explosion, if you want sports news and can't find it, you're lazy - or as dumb as Bill Simonson.

The other day we were contacted by a sports aggregation site called Buzztap, which basically scours the internet and compiles the last sports news. For Syracuse fans, you'll want to bookmark this page to stay up to date on the latest information and blog posts on the Orange.

For those of you on Twitter, you'll want to subscribe to the Syracuse Buzztap feed. While we're here, for those wary of Twitter, let me assure you there's nothing to fear. Basically you get news and nonsense fed straight to your desktop or phone, allowing you one more unnecessary, yet oddly fascinating thing to distract you day and night.

My two favorite celebrity sports Twitter feeds are Shaq's - which is down right hilarious most of the time, and Charlie Villanueva's - which is a combination of free ticket offers, too much information, and just general oddness. Plus, let me assure you that you haven't lived until you've seen the madness that goes on at Hoya Suxa twitter feed. Being funny is hard - being funny in 140 characters or less is nearly impossible, but Glaude pulls it off.

Of course, if this is too much work for you, just hit TNIAAM everyday, Sean is an animal and doesn't miss a thing.
