Case study
NFL Missed Kick Bot
A small product that runs on Sundays.
004
Tweets every missed FG and PAT from ESPN play-by-play.
Problem
Missed field goals and extra points vanish into the play-by-play. There was no clean, automatic alert when a kicker missed.
What he built
A TypeScript bot that polls ESPN’s public NFL APIs, detects missed FGs and PATs, and tweets kicker, distance, result, clock, score, and season tallies. GitHub Actions runs it on game days.
Outcome
A live side project that ships without babysitting. Repo: github.com/kalb2/nfl-missed-kick-bot.
