How do the scores on this sports ticker update itself without ajax calls?

I was looking at scores at http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/scoreboard earlier and upon inspection of the code, I couldn't quite figure out how they update their scores.

I don't see any ajax calls and the games don't appear to be wrapped into iframes, etc.

Can anyone explain to me how this works?

It seems like they are using Flash code to update the scores. I disabled Flash in my browser and got the following message:

Live Scoring Notice

However, if you want to implement something like that without using a Plugin, you can use Websockets in Javascript.

Check out line 1884 of the scoreboard file. The storePlayers function will format that big string into sets of markup that is used in the ticker.
