sorry. I posted a comment on your blog, but i guess i should've posted it here. heres my idea:
I play fantasy football like crazy on yahoo, and I've found some greasemonkey scripts that are adding some nice functionality, but my main beef with yahoo is there is no live scoring for the salary cap game. You have to wait until 2 or 3 in the morning before they update the scores. They dont even update the performance of the player until that same time, so you can't even get a quick idea of how you're doing, or the other how the people in the league are doing. I was wondering if you could write a script that could actually cross check the players ID with yahoos live stats and formulate a score based on the performance of that player and then just display it next to their name. that would be awesome.

the scoring is pretty easy math. for instance, a player usually gets 1 pt for every 10 yards, so if a player currently has 34 yards, they would have 3 pts for that. (actually, i think it's 3.4 pts) and they always get 6 pts for a touchdown. so if the script was to check the stat webpage using the id of the player in the salary cap game, and see that its a running back with 100 yards and 2 tds, it would calculate that to 22 pts and put it in a little highlighted column. Naamean?
