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)?"

    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.
