Anyone notice that the IRL earned a spot on the ESPN.com nav? So that 10 clicks/month it got under NASCAR deserves a spot on the top nav? :\ :thumdown:

I stopped going to espn's website a long time ago.

Just way too busy and too much crap. Slows the system down to a dead crawl. I hate websites that force video to play, unless you turn it off in time.

Oh, don't get me started on the site. :thumdown: Unfotunately I need to keep an eye on the top sites to see what the competition portals are doing. You should try loading it over dialup. It literally takes 30 min before the site loads. I just think it's funny that they put it on the nav *after the season is over*. It wasn't on the nav a few weeks ago. :laugh: They must figger that the standard IRLista can't find the link on the subnav for NASCAB. :laugh: :gomer:

how about web sites that show "what's showing now" popups that cover up the "more racing news" link you want (and sometimes freezes there)?

Defender must have reminded ESPN that they are a media partner.

Looks like the new pr guy had someone write a check to espn.

Just means they will have less money next spring...

Never go there. The IRL sucks. Stick 'n ball sucks. ESPN sucks. Who cares?

I really like the TSN site, but they end every sentence with eh, which gets a bit tiresome. :D :p

It is that extra $69 Million after the sale of IMS's share in Chicagoland... ;)

Forget the site, ESPN The Network LOVES to show golf replays with the ball covered by the crawler, other advertising or a leader board. You can only tell if the ball went in by the reaction of the golfer. They regularly cover up the actual "play" in many sports highlights.

They regularly cover up the actual "play" in many sports highlights. They don't care about their product and don't care who knows it. I quite watching anything on ESPN years ago for exactly that reason.

Maybe so but Fox's baseball coverage is a couple of orders of magnitude worse than ESPN's. Fox redefined suck with this year's series coverage.

Yup. Plus there's an EARL promo on the CCWS page. :irked:
