    Well, apparently we're all behind TSP in this revelation.

    The top of the beta, with the NFL games, reminds me exactly of the top of NFL.com.

    Except, of course, the links are about three times as quick.

    I rather like it.

    Video quality is better, also 16:9 aspect ratio.

    BTW, I love ESPN360 to death. My only problem is, although I can access it home, I can't access it at work.

    Wierd, it's vice-versa for me.

    As long as the automatic video is gone, I'll be good with it.
     
  8. Can they haul it over a cliff?

    It's not the auto video so much as the sound, but yeah, you're right on.

    Exactly what I thought.

    I think once you get past the front, it's the same old sections.

    You've got the option to get rid of the "forced" video under preferences if you've registered.

    Same here. The problem for me is, both of my work computers are ancient and slow, so I attempted to watch a game on it once, gave up at halftime, ran home and got my laptop and came back to work because it was causing my computer to crash.

    I usually just have my speakers muted while I'm at work, but once again, I can't open it because my work computer can't handle all of the crap that fires up once it starts. Between the auto video and the thing below the top headline that scrolls around and everything else they have going, I'm lucky I can get it to come up at all. Apparently, whoever designed the old homepage never heard of simplicity.
