Funride, did you try the Google Gadget, hopefully it should work for you there.

Eileen, it is an awesome feature, hopefully they will provide this for all sports.

Compu-Smart, I agree, there must be some football lovers in Google staff.

I can't keep up with all the things Google rolls out with. Now if I could only get them to take control of social bookmarking and make it a worth while experience.

Bueller, Google has bookmarking if you use their Google Toolbar. But I like Del.ici.ous bookmarking tool, it works great with Firefox. Give it a try it is a neat management tool. http://del.icio.us/
