Real Time Statistics Feeds for Fantasy Sports?

Posted by Cliff on from the just-for-fun dept.

Anonymous Coward asks: "I want to develop an applet that will track/sort/rank NFL players using real-time statistical feeds from somewhere. Is there a subscription service or site that offers real time NFL statistical feeds (bonus points given if its a free service)?"

    The other poster is correct. THERE ARE NO AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAMS IN THE NFL NAMED AFTER OTHER NATIONS.

    There are, however, NFL franchise teams IN OTHER COUNTRIES which are, of course NAMED AFTER THOSE COUNTRIES.

    So much for your "no other country is interested in playing amreican football" theory. Since the Scottish Claymores are, IN FACT, an NFL football team playing IN THE UK.

    What kind of league do you run where you need real-time stats? Most leagues I've participated in are done on a weekly basis, and you can't change your team once the game starts. Knowing that Marshall Faulk has scored 3 TDs may be interesting, but pretty much useless if you're trying to manage a team because, if he is not on your starting lineup, he doesn't count.
