Smitch124 i use to work for sportsline.com they have a branch in ft laud where they do the live scoring, and from my experience most of them are drug addicts and worried about who's winning the other games in the process of doing their updates ............ meaning most of them r degenerate gamblers making 10 dollars an hour

I use it constantly, I think the info they use comes directly from the stadium, they send someone to every game for their text play-by-play, and yes....some nights I do wonder about the mental age of their recruits.

I always thought it might be a cool job, they just need to occasionally put the bong down, just for a second now and then.

The reason i say theyre at the stadiums is because they place an ad on the site every year asking for college kids who live in a sports town and are looking for extra cash to apply to go to games for free. Im serious.

They've been doing that for YEARS. I've sent dozens of complaints but they go unanswered.
Another annoying thing they do is in the bottom of the 9th. Whenever there's a walkoff win, it takes them 5 min to put it. So I always end up going to Yahoo or ESPN to find out what happened. And it's always a walkoff hit.

i use it, they are a little slow sometimes, but i like the lay-out better than other sports site, so that's why i use it alot.
hey BTJ , how can i get that gig here in Louisville, i got cable and a computer, hell i'll get a gameday package or satellite if i have to. hell, be able to sit at home and watch games and enter the info into a computer and get paid for it, I want in.

That happens sometimes (quite often actually). It can be annoying but I still love tracking games with them.

So who gets the stadium gigs? There is a live score site that sends people to the game, I'm 100% sure I've seen this.

Sportsline forum used to be such a disaster too. There was this mod/prick who picked fights with everyone and would delete all our posts. But if he really hated you, he'd delete everything except the post where you gave out a losing pick. We would retaliate by spamming the board with 100s of worthless threads while he was away at lunch or something. Ahhhh, good times.

They definitely have the best setup, and I like them and will continue to use them. But they were just making a ton of mistakes on just the part of games that I was most interested in.
How did the Angels score a run on a FC with 2 outs and the bases loaded!!!
Well they didn't lol. Oh well I can replace that vase...

I kinda like the delays before an important play happens. I'm sitting there watching and thinking either my team scored a couple runs or dude grounded into a double play. Either a big rush or a huge let down when it finally updates.
