Topic: Live Sports or Fantasy Sports Widget(s)?

I noticed that there was a sports category, but they are all "news" healine readers and not a real, live sports type widget.

It would be great to have a sports widget that pulled down live stats for a given game while its being played, or cycled through a number of live games from a favorite teams list.

Also, I can imagine a widget that was specialized for Fantasy sports, gathering info specific to various fantasy stats.

Anything like either of these in the works?

Re: Live Sports or Fantasy Sports Widget(s)?

The biggest issue there is the leagues - many of them prohibit the broadcast of live score information without explicit (expensive) agreements.

We've been talking to the various sources of this type of information for quite some time - no word yet.

Scraping it off an existing site would be bad juju?

Yes - you can probably get away with that kind of stuff as an individual, but as a company we have to play by the rules.

Bah, ok, well, just make the cover of a chumby purple and yellow, put a big Y! on the front and have them provide sports info.

anyway, here's hoping you sort out the "sources".
