New Record.....How Absolutely OBNOXIOUS

ESPN NHL scoreboard

Audio & video ads are pushy, but audio with no mute button or volume bar is just flat out f'ing inexcusable.

Pop ups are history, so this is apparently how their going to shove their bullshit down our throats now.

When you right-click on the video and choose Settings, it will say "Deny" even though the video and sound continue. I stay away from espn.com.

Thanks Quant

I think that ABC started this BS by forcing all their local affilaties to have it on their home page, but at least they had mute\pause\stop buttons. This is the first I've seen of the window with no controls.

:finger: ESPN, it only takes once for me to go somewhere else to get my scores, you don't have shit on anyone.

www.sportsline.com is better and less intrusive than ESPN, I go there for scores

ESPN.com is completely out of hand with their ads and popups. Makes the site go so slow. I avoid it if possible as well. Like they really need the extra revenue.
