I pulled all the changes I needed into https://github.com/RustyBower/sopel-sports/blob/master/sopel_modules/sports/nfl.py

I'm still working on figuring out how to grab schedule/score from arbitrary years/weeks

Sopel Sports looks pretty legit. How far do you intend on taking this? is there any reason you're building this as a sopel app and not just a generic tool like nflgame?

It's a plugin for an IRC bot I help maintain, so just easier to keep it all maintained in one spot
