nflgame

The package parses and retrieves data from the NFL Game Center JSON stream.

The same JSON stream power's NFL.com live game scores service, so it is possible to build Python-based apps and websites that report NFL results and statistics in real-time.

To save queries to the NFL.com website, the download package comes with all game data between 2009 and the 2012 preseason.
