first it was the regular pop-ups, those were annoying enough, now every time I try to search their damn site I get these new kind of pop-ups that go over the part of the screen you are trying to read and will follow you when you scroll down then a minute late it finally gives you an option to close it. ARGH!!!

I stopped using their site a couple years ago. Everything I'm interested in is posted here anyway.

FireFox won't prevent the CSS-based ads they are running -- only popups.

That said, I'd still recomend FireFox (or Safari) over that other piece of shit...

Pop-ups regardless... I left ESPN's crapola for other less trendy sites long ago and have no regrets...
