Will the automated content include interviews with players or quotes from coaches? You would need to scrape that content from non-automated sports stories.
Quotes are almost automated today. Most pro sports coaches and athletes endlessly recite the same cliches already.
Good point ;-)
The coaches just need to take it one game at a time.
Most of the content will be seeded from stats, which means less emphases on qualitative content. But I do get feeds for things like injuries so I'll be able to automate injury reporting.
