This is really impressive. How did you secure the games and scores data?

Considering the wide range of possible triggers that don't have any kind of formal api I expect the answer is by scraping the right sites.

At least the NBA and NFL write out RSS feeds of games as they're playing with the scores and plays as they occur, to varying degrees of specificity.

They're kind of a bear to parse, but it's definitely doable without scraping, in some cases.
