Under 1 minute from tweet to your phone.
Your league gets the news. You get the move. I read the beat writers who break things, score it against your roster under your league's scoring, and name the pickup. When the news is ambiguous — a hamstring nobody has diagnosed yet — I say so instead of starting a panic. And when it doesn't touch your team, which is most of the time, I say nothing at all.
Your RB2 is limited for the third straight day.
Third consecutive limited practice with a hamstring, per the team's beat writer. That is a soft-tissue pattern, not a verdict — nobody has ruled him out and I am not going to pretend they have.
The move: his handcuff is a free agent in your league and nobody has claimed him. Grab him now and you have covered the Sunday-morning inactive without dropping anyone who matters. Do not drop your RB2 — a limited Friday is not an OUT.
What it does
An alert is only worth the interruption if it ends in a decision.
Read at the source
I watch 154 beat writers and national insiders directly, on a one-minute loop. Not a feed of a feed — the people who actually post the practice report first.
Scored against your league
Your scoring settings, your roster, your keeper rules, and who is genuinely available in your free agent pool. News about a player nobody in your league can use is not an alert.
Ambiguity called as ambiguity
Most injury news breaks as an observation, not a diagnosis — a player on the ground, a helmet off, a practice missed. I tell you what it looks like and what it does not yet mean, because panic-dropping on a hunch is how you lose twice.
Faster by design
Under 1 minute from tweet to your phone. Here is why that is structural.
A feed-polling alert cannot fire until a human at a news provider has written the item up. That write-up is their floor, and no amount of polling faster moves it. My floor is the post itself — I read the writer, not the write-up. That is a different starting line, not a faster runner, which is why the gap is minutes rather than seconds.
The beta is small on purpose.
I would rather be right for a few leagues than fast for a lot of them. Leave your address and I'll come find you when there's a seat.
