I'm sick of this site.

Nearly every page has some stupid *** auto-play video ad that just floods your speakers.

If you click on a box score, auto-play advertisement followed by auto-play highlights.

If you actually want to watch videos, you have to endure what seems like a 3:1 video to advertisement ratio just to watch small clips.

McDonalds, Papa Johns and other ads just filling the screen and popping up videos every where.

This is crazy. At least ESPN lets you have the option of choosing to watch a video. Let me click "play" if I want to watch your dumb *** video.

It's almost unbearable. When I've been keeping count of TBs, I go to the weekly scores and open each game in a new tab. The collective 16 advertisements and videos damn near stopped my browser the first two weeks so I just quit going to that site and started going to ESPN.

Do they have a twitter account? Someone needs to tell them how ****ty their site has become.
 
I use it to follow scores and Gamecasts on Sundays, and I used it for the preseason package this summer, but I agree with you. I don't even try to use the video replays anymore because you have to go through a ton of ads just to get them.
 
Also I don't know what they did recently but the quality of the videos on NFL.com used to be really high.. now their video quality is AWFUL.

They will figure it out when their traffic slows to a crawl. I totally quit watching NASCAR for similar reasons.

Auto play videos on a website are about as rude as it gets. It's just their way of saying "up yours".
 
Hate the autoplay the day they started it in the offseason. Freaking annoying. Wrote an email, but got no response.

There's some little thing you have to install to get high quality back.

For whatever reason.

Yeah, I didn't care for it one bit when it started happening.

And I don't think you can turn it off. I've logged into my Rewind account and can't find a single setting yet to turn off auto play.

It's pretty stupid.

Same, I dont bother. I do like their app for my phone however.
 
Agreed. Just had an incident with nfl.com's flash that crashed the browser. Flashblock is back on. Ads, videos, and whatever other crap will not run until I let them.
