If you're an avid sports fan who always needs to know what the score of the game is, even if you're not watching it, or are away from a television set showing it, fear not, because you have options available to you that will tell you exactly what the score is of the game you want to watch and the scores of every other single game going on at that time!

If you're at home and the game you don't want to watch isn't being broadcast on any channel you get you can flip over to one of the many sports dedicated channels that run tickers on the bottom of the screen. Not only do the sports tickers tell you what the scores for the day's games are but they also provide you with the main news of the day. So, if something big happened in the world of sports like Peyton Manning agreeing to sign with the Denver Broncos that will crawl up on the ticker at some point. Even if you manage to miss the score of the game you needed just keep your eyes on the ticker as it's constantly repeated.

If you've decided to lock yourself up in your room to finish your homework or a sales report for work and have barred yourself from watching sports on TV because it would be one big distraction you can always sneak a peak online to see what the scores are and then quickly get back to work. The main sites to check out are ESPN.com, Yahoo! Sport at sports.yahoo.com, NBC Sports over at nbcsports.msnbc.com, TSN.ca, and thescore.com.

Each one of those sites and many other more niche sports websites will provide you with up to the minute score updates and headline sports news in and around the sports world. Thanks to the world wide web you're never more than a mouse click away from finding out what the score is in the game for the teams you're rooting for.

If you don't have instant access to a computer and are on the go you also have an option that will tell you what the score of the game is, depending on whether or not you have access to a mobile device or smartphone with data or mobile internet access. There is tons of popular sports app available on the app market that you can download to your Android phone, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch that will make sure you never go a second without knowing the score of any given game.

The must have sports apps include ScoreMobile, TSN Mobile, Yahoo! Sportacular, NHL GameCenter, NBC Sports Talk, MLB.com At Bat, MLS MatchDay, ESPN ScoreCenter, NBA.TV, and FOX Sports.

If none of the above options work for you or you're old school then you can always just ask a passerby what the score is and hope they can give it to you.
