MySI is a great app for all you sports buffs. It consists of a desktop sports news app with a full screen-saver built in. In minimized mode it is a small toolbar that sits above your taskbar. It doesn't take up too much space, and acts as a news ticker for (currently) up to three of your favorite NFL teams. It is ad supported by several notable companies like Miller, RadioShack, Comcast, Nissan, Circuit City. The ads are surprisingly unobtrusive, placed out of the way on the bar. MySI plans to release updates to include college and NBA basketball, NHL hockey, and many more. This is a must have for sports fans.This is the setup screen, one of the most well designed I've seen.

Team selection screen with the options dialog behind.

The quite extensive tutorial screen.

The news page, customized for the Denver Broncos in my case.

Tiny correction: The toolbar will display headlines from any sport you choose, not just your favorite 3 NFL teams. Enjoy!

It's like Pointcast for sports buffs.

Did I just date myself?

Wow, Pointcast. I haven't thought of that app in ages. I wonder what ever happened to them.

I'm not that impressed. Seems like a glorified screen saver to me. The toolbar is distracting.

Andrew,
Use your "Display Properties" control panel (right-click on your desktop) to adjust your screen resolution to a minimum of 1024x768. All will be good.
