Links on every point

Every talking point includes a source headline and link, so you can check the original reporting in one tap.

Last briefing cached

The app keeps the last successful briefing on-device, so you are not stuck if the elevator has no signal.

More info

What it is, what it is not, and how it works.

The Pitch

Sports Cheat Sheet is for people who do not follow sports closely but still want to feel included at work, at dinner, with family, or at a party.

Open the app, read one short briefing, remember one line, and ask one good question.

What It Is Not

Not a scores app. No leaderboards, standings, box scores, or fantasy tools.

Not a news reader. The app frames conversation points and links to the original source. It does not reproduce full articles.

Not for die-hard fans. If you already have 4 sports podcasts, you probably do not need this. That is fine.

Specs

What Mattered

Finite. You are supposed to finish the briefing.

Plain language first. The model writes for a person walking into a room, not for a sports desk.

Sources. Every bullet keeps a visible source link.
