If you're after the latest sports news or scores, you'll want to pay a
visit to a sports megasite like ESPNET SportsZone or The Sports Network.
These monster sites are usually easy to navigate and offer info
on nearly every aspect of the game.
If you've already read about the coach's resignation in today's newspaper, then you're ready for the facts and figures,
which is what you'll get with the Realtime
Sports FanTicker. This Java-based application provides continuing
coverage of sports scores, highlights, transactions, and other news.
To set up the ticker, you simply type in a user name and, if you like, a
password. You'll be asked which colors you'd like to use for your ticker,
the time of day you'd like to receive the scores, and the teams you want to
follow. Right now, you can choose basketball, football, baseball, and
hockey, as well as major-league soccer and the Olympics. Once you have
everything set up, click Float to place the ticker on your desktop.
ESPNET SportsZone also has a ticker for daily sports schedules that you can
put right on your desktop. But you don't customize this one. You'll find
the ticker on the home page next to the ESPNET logo. Click Display on
Desktop to have
continual programming updates.
