Your website fucking sucks. Bad. Please for the love of God and Sunday Jesus would you get rid of that annoying video that loads every fucking time you goto the main page? Oh, and how about some organization? Finding shit on your website takes a star-sighting, a Ouija board and a tour guide who speaks Swahili. Fuck you. I just want to check some scores. Plus, too much shit, packed into too small a space. It's a website, not a Mexican's hatchback.
For the second time, get your shit straight.

when i go to their homepage i try to click really fast on the particular sport i'm looking for so i dont have to hear the video
also i want to say when they first offered the video thing you had to choose whether or not to download some app, but then they would start caching videos you didnt even watch on your hard drive

you can disable video playing on the home page.
under the video player, click "customize". your browser will probably block the popup so watch for that. then in the popup uncheck the "automatically play videos..." checkbox. unfortunately this only works on the homepage, but they do remember the volume setting across the site so just set it to 0.
i can see automatically starting videos as becoming a problem if ISPs ever start charging by the bandwidth instead of a flat monthly rate. i would most likely stop visiting espn.com if that were the case. 12/1/2008 10:28:10 PM |

espn's site is fucking atrocious
remember a few years ago when it would cache GIGS of video on your Hard drive? you'd watch it once, but it would sit in a well hidden temp directory until the end of time

I wish Ed Werder would go jump off a fucking cliff; I'm so sick of this jackass because the only responsibility he has is to sit around in Dallas and wait for something to happen. Guess what ESPN? There are 31 other teams that need to be covered as well; fuck the fucking Cowboys and ESPN and Troy Aikman and FOX for making me watch their garbage asses every week of the season.

if you ever want to try to influence some of the stuff they do, i'd suggest joining here:

it may be too late to get in on the surveys about their new website since i just got one, but its worth a try if you don't like it when it comes out (january 5th)
oh wait everybody can see it now: http://beta.espn.go.com/?lpos=spotlight&lid=tab1pos1

I don't understand why people can't find stuff on their website. It's just a bunch pull down menus under each sport. If I can't find something, it's usually some insider shit that I refuse to pay for.
