In the ticker you will see the week of the game played for the NFL, NHL & NBA league's If a week 11 game was played, at the end you would see "W11", or WC for "Wildcard". Thanks to denman for the suggestion -Tris10
I suggested it as a way to try and see when the NBA overdue games are getting played with so many of them being out there you would actually spend a lot of time just looking through the games trying to figure out what week it came from. Maybe once the league gets caught up and all the leagues are primarily playing the current weeks games it won't be necessarry but could still be good to keep everyone informed of what week is currently being played as some non-members of the leagues may just watch the ticker for some of the scores and not really pay attention to the weeks.
I like it alot actually, when I'm looking for those scores coming in on Saturday night, I know which ones are for getting done before the deadline w/o having to check the schedule to see what week they were.
