Here's a lite version:

Someone needs to tell those jackballs at ESPN.com that their Stupid ESPN Motion BS is nothing more than a rehash Flash-burdened Web "destinations" ala 1999. And just as lame.

It takes me between 10-20 seconds to load the ESPN.com front page! What a joke. I tried cbssportsline and it took 5 seconds.

They just don't get it. If I want motion, I will turn on the TV. Why do websites keep trying to replace TV??

It also pissed me off that you have to pay for additional content. Look, I have been watching ESPN from day 1 and I have been getting the magazine since it came out. Shouldn't people who subscribe to the magazine get the additional web content?

Same for the Sporting News. Why should I have to pay for both the magazine and the additional online content? Why not combine it?

Just a vent.
