I absolutely HATE it. It's so wide I have to either scroll or make the window full screen to see everything. FUCK.

I'm at 1024x768, have to go full screen to display everything. I have a 15" flat panel here so I can't adjust it any higher.

Full screen or a regular sized window? ESPN is the only site I go to that I have a scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.

Just a maximized window, not full screen.

It doesn't fit on my screen either.

I haven't been going to espn.com much lately anyway. I prefer si.com. I used to really like cbs sportsline but they have way too many ads and pop-ups now and damn avant browser doesn't even block some of them.

cnnsi looks like one big clusterfuck.....could there possibly be more giant graphics and colors? It's like the Sesame Street version of a sports website.

The thing I hate about si is how unnecessarily long it takes to load. Too much useless code back there slowing down the whole operation. SI is faster and has more articles, but they're all the insider crap, so I can't read them anyways.

i fucking hate it. i've never loved espn.com but they're the best content wise, i think. cnnsi does a pretty good job and foxsports isn't so bad either.

I was half-joking in the process of identifying yet another shitty aspect of the worldwide leader in sports entertainment.
