You don't have to keep a browser window open to stay up-to-date on sports scores, thanks to this stellar newsreader bar. ESPN BottomLine is a tastefully designed bar that scrolls the top sports headlines and scores. You can drag it anywhere on your screen, so it can remain in sight or out of the way of your work.

The bar is divided horizontally. The top lists a variety of sports—NFL, MLB, College Football, Golf, and so on—which you can use like tabs to view the category you want. The bottom displays headlines and scores, which scroll upward. Click the displayed story, and ESPN BottomLine opens a browser window with the story at ESPN.com. Clicking the Options icon opens a simple menu that lets you choose the sports categories you want and specify whether ESPN BottomLine displays both headlines and scores or just one for each category.

This tool worked great in our tests, but we were disappointed that clicking a story link opened ESPN.com with Internet Explorer instead of using our default browser. But sports-minded users shouldn't let this one flaw deter them from trying this exceptional free tool.

When compared to other sports news apps like Yahoo Sports or Bleacher Report, ESPN BottomLine stands out for its simplicity. While apps like Yahoo Sports provide extensive articles, highlights, and alerts, ESPN BottomLine offers a quick and unobtrusive solution for those who need only live scores and the latest headlines. If you’re looking for a distraction-free tool that integrates easily with your workflow without bombarding you with unnecessary notifications, ESPN BottomLine does the job well.

Bottom Line

If you’re a sports fan who prefers staying updated without interruptions, ESPN BottomLine could be just the tool you need. Give it a try and keep your focus while staying informed. It's simple, effective, and perfect for multitaskers.
