I recently saw a link to a telnet server that can display live games as ASCII 
art: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/13/football_ascii/

As a passing thought, I wondered if it would be possible to knock up a 
slimserver plugin to read the telnet stream and feed this to the SqueezeBox 
display.  Eg. modify the characters representing players into dots.  Use a 
different colour dot for the ball.  Put the current score and time on one side. 
 Add sound effects and "goal!" flashes.  It could be set up as a screensaver.

The only problem I had with that though is by the time someone wrote it, the 
games would probably be over!  Certainly the ones I'm interested in :)
