Based on how many athletes seem to live on Twitter all day, it is hard to believe they have time for the sport they play.

Giants QB Eli Manning is on Twitter, most likely talking about his giant new contract extension.

Snowboarder Shaun White and skateboarder Mike Vallely have been known to tweet from time to time.

One of the most famous athletes on Twitter has to be Shaquille O’Neal. He loves to have fun on the micro-blogging site, calling out other athletes and challenging the likes of David Beckham to duels.

Want to follow a golfer? How about Natalie Gulbis? She is certainly worth checking out.

Michael Phelps is on there, probably twittering from the deep end.

Bicyclist Lance Armstrong will have a lot more time for tweets now that the Tour de France is over. Seems fitting that someone who is used to being in front of the pack has thousands of followers online.
