Slowness This Morning: ESPN.com video link

Sorry about the slowness this morning. Our images server (which also serves up our CSS files) was being overwhelmed because ESPN.com linked to a gyroball video that Will Carroll had uploaded on The Juice. Our little web server couldn't handle serving a large file like that to that many people. I'd probably need a whole server farm to serve up video for ESPN.com.

~~I changed the name of the file, and broke the link. Sorry ESPNers.~~ I uploaded the video to YouTube, and redirected people there.

Don't apologize, Ken. E$%& can afford to upload their own damn gyroball. In the morning, I want Toast, not BS!

ooh, glad it was a site issue and not my little laptop! not only was it slow, but there was a really terrible and bland layout of the site that was difficult to follow. i was afraid you changed format. thankfully my very favorite site on the entire internet is back to normal! thanks, ken (and alex & cliff)!
