If your question is "Is it possible for a script to pull data from a web site I know about that keeps up-to-date sports scores on a page I know the URL to?" then the answer is "Yes, that is quite possible. There are many scripts available that check a web site for current weather conditions and report the results back into a channel. There should be no reason that a similar site cannot be found and used the same way using a socket, knowing how to script and knowing how HTTP works."

If your question is "Will someone please write that script for me?" then the answer is most likely "No." unless you can find someone who is particularly bored, who has the requisite knowledge, and who might be intrigued by the "challenge" of the idea.
