MSN Programmers Are Human After All.: Some joker decided to give Sabres winger Miroslav Satan the ID number 666. (There's not much to see or discuss here, feel free to to say this isn't an appropriate link -- but it's an egg I wanted to share.)

Dano, appropriate or not appropriate, I like the link. To be honest I haven't noticed a substantial difference with ESPN's page loads, but I'm not a fan of the annoying MSN frame. It distracts me and doesn't offer me a thing. With that said, ESPN is one of the best sources of (mostly) free content on the internet and if they need to add a frame to keep it free, I'm all for it.

I've always liked "Zarley Zalapski" as far as names go.

alternate topic: has anyone else noticed how bad the programming at ESPN.com has become since it switched from the Go! network to MSN? Pages are slow as molasses to load and sometimes the layout is truly f-ed up. too bad since ESPN is my primary source of sports news.
