What this Grok bot does
Quiet sports news for the teams you follow, pro or college. You list your teams and the beat reporters and team accounts on X to watch, and it messages you only when something changed: injuries, roster moves, rankings and standings. Every item is tagged official, reported or unknown with a source link. No betting, odds, picks or fantasy advice.
