Well, with the best will in the world that's just plain wrong!

I followed your search link and I got:



Then I googled the same search term and got:



I'd suggest you might want to be clear about what you actually get when you search! From my gut reaction, comparing just these two searches, I get a lot more commercialised links - i.e. ones trying to sell me something - from your own search engine than I do from google. I also get the score from the last game on google and not on your own - I didn't know the score fwiw, but this told me it.

I would agree that I might possibly search wanting to know the score of a game or the schedule. I doubt it though - I go to Yahoo or wherever to get that information because I know I can get it quickly and easily. I imagine most sports fans would probably think the same thing.

Now, this thread has plenty of stuff that looks to me as if it's spam on it already. So if anyone's going to make claims for the quality of specific search engine can I suggest they make sure they actually work rather than being a load of old bollocks next time? :-)
