Spoiler free sports info for people who are slightly behind. If I missed the game, give me a reliable way to find things like a replay broadcast time, or as a last resort streaming highlights video, without bumping into the result. If I'm at work until 8pm and the game starts at 7pm, give me a news stream/aggregator that fills me in on last minute news like injuries and starting lineups, but cuts short as of the game start. That way I can dick around on the web at work, then go home to watch. Let me see what the league ladder looked like 48 hours ago, so I can decide which of the games on my DVR are worth watching. Give me a browser plugin that scans pages on load and hides them if they contain recent results for a team I follow. (Damn you, gmail web clippings.. come to think of it, blank over the browser if you spot something in an XMLHttpRequest, too) I'm an Australian who enjoys European soccer and F1, so one or two fixtures a week, often delayed telecast and/or recorded at awkward times. Not sure how well this would translate to American sports.

I'd love to see this too. I, however, think we're in the minority. I know if there is a match(premiere league) that i want to see, I have to tread ever so lightly to find out match information without the scores. Luckily, here in the US, Sportscenter never covers soccer, except for about 30 seconds from ESPN Deportes or LA Galaxy news. but i think most people here(US) want their scores NOW and don't care about the actual game, plus there are way too many sports here.

I'm not a huge sports fan, but this is an excellent idea. I, too, am an F1 fan and in America races are usually broadcast while I'm asleep. I can't subscribe to any F1 rss feeds because I'm guaranteed to accidentally open up my reader before they're re-broadcast. In this case I'd almost be happy with an intentional delay on my feed reader. That is a pretty specific feature, but I'd love to automatically hide the F1 feeds each race day.
