Or watching "Sports Scope" (the original headline sports/the score) and just waiting for the scores to cycle through to the game I was interested in.

Calgary Herald Talikes. Circa 1991/1992, then SportScope came around maybe that same year.
Many Saturdays with friends with a few Sports Select tickets in hand watching NHL scores (16/17 so too young for the bar). The odds for SS for the WEEK came out Mondays. Go get an NFL SS ticket during the intermission of the one HNIC game on TV.
Sports at 11 was light on sports outside of the Flames, certainly the final years.
That was clear from when Headline Sports started in 95 and you actually saw more highlights in 30 minutes for more then a few NHL games. And you saw a decent amount of sports highlights from NBA,MLB and other sports and leagues that Sports at 11 ignored or scrolled the scores when going to break.
CFCN covered amateur sports better.
