Twitter is perfect for sports. I can see why they picked up some NFL games. You can choose what kind of content you want by who you follow, and it's all real-time and interactive.
In which case, I actually just scroll through chronologically and read through what the news/insights/commentary has been since the last time I was there.
Now, Twitter has somewhat made Lists a second class citizen in it's UI, but it's just a couple extra button press to get to it ( on mobile ).
