source code

Creates a new Game instance given a game identifier.

The game identifier is used by NFL.com's GameCenter live update web pages. It is used to construct a URL to download JSON data for the game.

If the game has been completed, the JSON data will be cached to disk so that subsequent accesses will not re-download the data but instead read it from disk.

When the JSON data is written to disk, it is compressed using gzip.

Overrides: object.__init__
