  Hey ldrummer5150,

  I don’t believe there is one among the many WordPress.com widgets.

  My only suggestion might be for you to use the RSS Widget for a sports site that lists scores via RSS. You could integrate the sports scores in that way. Not ideal but it might be suitable.

  Yes I already did that, I linked up ESPN’s RSS files to the html tab on a separate page for each sport. I made those private so in order to have a quicker way to check the headlines per sport in order to find good news for my articles & so you will know yes it works GREAT & I have considered making them public, would be cool though to have a live scores page they could see on the site. Maybe in the future lol. I also added the link to ESPN’s bottom line sports ticker on the sidebar so it’s good. I certainly appreciate your reply.
