They all are pretty much horrid.

Yahoo showed this nba game last night as going into OT and one team was ahead by 7 with 0:00 on the clock in the 4th.

Good idea Sherman, but I do CBS out of habit, easy to switch between sports. I never fully trust their results, though. I verify them with others. No computer probs.

Live lines is no good either, doesn't give time remaining, so it's useless. You have to refresh the others, but no biggie !

I just wonder how CBS can be that unreliable, though ! They often stall before halves as well.

How does CBS get it this bad ?

Ott 1-3-6 for 10
Bos 1-1-2 for 4

REAL:

Ott 1-3-1 for 5
Bos 1-1-0 for 2

I could understand an isolated error, but it happens regularly ! :monsters-

I've seen Yahoo post incorrect final scores in the past and then corrected later in the evening. This is why I view several sites before I mark a W -or- L.

Sometimes they give me hope, I see I lost a game and get a second chance to see a different score ! arty:

Although CBSsportsline has been messing up lately I still find there real-time quickier than the rest.
