Oh yeah.. I'd call them after getting pissed at the ESPN crawl which always went to commercial right before the score I was waiting for. Horrible during college hoops.

In Toronto, we had something called the star phone and you could call that for a variety of things. You could get up to date roster/transactions and every score for every sports league. I think they were behind by a little, but still it was a very cool tool to use.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

Mine was more of sneaking into the back room at work, every 20 minutes or so when I got stuck working on Sundays. Even down to the fact that I colored in the light on the phone in the front so you couldn't tell if someone was on the line in the back
