Can you add sports scores to Google's homepage (IG)

[edmicman]

After a long time with my.yahoo, I'm trying out Google's personalized homepage. My yahoo account is nothing but a spam trap, my comics come from konfabulator, and I can get my news summaries from Google. My fantasy football I can set up a direct bookmark to, so I'm almost all set. However, on my.yahoo, I was able to add my favorite sports teams and see at a glance their scores. Anyone know of a way to accomplish roughly the same thing in Google? Even if its all the scores of a league maybe or something, though it would be cool if there was something like an RSS feed for each team or something. I dunno....any ideas?

I didn't even know Google had that. I didn't even know people used my.yahoo. What else aren't you telling me?!

eh I've used it for awhile as a portal homepage...mostly it was so I could have a quick at-a-glance rundown of news headlines, sports scores, tv schedule, movie times, and comics. Plus the fantasy football could be on there, too. I don't use yahoo search, my yahoo email has become spam, and they've neutered their comics so now I just use the comix widget for konfabulator. I like having a homepage that is a simple one-stop summary of what interests me, and then I can go from there. Looks like I need to find an RSS feed for my favorite teams or something...

Just a thought. Opera has a feature that would allow you to start it up to a group of websites at the same time. Since you can really only focus on one thing at a time, it's not that much worse than having it on one page. It also has built-in RSS reader and email client, killing 2 more birds with one stone. It really does make browsing easier.
