In 140 Characters Or Less: Notable Tweets Of The Year

THE DAILY recalls some tweets from the past year that had us talking.

“Late Show” Exec Producer Eric Stangel: "Mikhail Prokhorov is looking to sell the Brooklyn Nets. Maybe the new owner will move them to the city. New York deserves a basketball team."

NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson: "We get it @KeithOlbermann, you're not a fan. That's your prerogative. For the benefit of all, spare us, go away. Thank you. #NASCAR."

ESPN's Adam Schefter: "Who ever thought ESPN would devote more time to inflation than CNBC?"

St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Benjamin Hochman: "Listening to Chuck and Shaq talking about bball analytics is like listening to 1994 Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric talking about e-mail."

Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman: "It's okay to say no to woman beaters, NFL teams. You'll be alright. Team won't fold. Promise."

Torrance Daily Breeze's Larry Altman: "Was thinking we could have #Dodgers on TV at work today. Then realized, 'Nope.' Guess it will be the #Angels or I'll just go to court."

NPD Group Analyst Matt Powell: "Curry winning MVP in UA is a huge embarrassment for NKE. But it will take more than MVP for UA to be a force in BB. All About Product."

ESPNW's Jane McManus: "If 'Deflator' were really a term that referred to weight loss, women would know."

Newsday's Neil Best: "Rapidity with which sports leagues and teams have embraced @DraftKings and @FanDuel as normal facts of business life is amazing."

N.Y. Times' Richard Sandomir: Real good call of Pharoah's win by Larry Collmus....Too bad Tom Durkin never got chance to call Triple Crown winner."

Greensboro News & Record's Ed Hardin: "Hard to watch Tiger today. And hard to watch it on FOX."

Ventura County Star's Jim Carlisle: "What are we to draw from these WWCup ratings? That people like watching women play soccer more than they do men? Perhaps we can..."

Blue Jays RF Jose Bautista: "Dear Mr. @ESPN_Colin before i rip you a new one i would like for you to explain what u meant to say about baseball and dominicans, please."

S.F. Chronicle's Ann Killion: "In other words the Levi's field is a sh-- show."

FS1's Katie Nolan: "@NESN I hope you get a huge paper cut on your finger and then forget that it's there and reach into a bag of salt & vinegar chips. For Don."

Boston Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont: "Kane presumed innocent. I get that. I must also presume the Hawks are stone-cold tone deaf to the realities of 2015."

Former Raiders Chief Exec Amy Trask: "I've arrived! Been on Twitter roughly 2 months and just got my first 'stick to hair and makeup/women shouldn't have football jobs' tweet."

Washington Post's Adam Kilgore: "Dear President Obama: Spot ISIS two runs and send in the Royals. Trust me, it'll work."

Warriors writer Sam Esfandiari: "Just so we're clear. The lakers are no longer a team this season. They're the equivalent of a Nike sponsored Kobe China tour."

ESPN L.A.'s Arash Markazi: "So Rams and Raiders fans in L.A. will be holding rallies before NFL owners meet next month. Notice the one team missing?"
