In ESPN's MLB Page, graphics overlap and text is displayed incorrectly...it
should look like this...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/index

That NBA page is rendered correctly.

It was hard for me to see, but eventually I looked down towards the middle of
the page and saw that things do look a bit wacky. Creating attachment JPG.

Also, the text size in that page is different compared to the other ESPN 
pages...

ESPN MLB is using invalid Javascript.  It is detecting Mozilla as Netscape 4.x
(by using navigator.appName).  After forcing the scripting to think I was
running MSIE (by changing the code), it rendered almost perfectly.  It  also
uses some VBScript (proprietary MSIE extension), and the old MSIE DOM (not
standards compliant).  This definitely falls under evangelism, and is _not_ a
bug in Mozilla.

Someone please change product to reflect this (I don't have the priviliges).

It seems ESPN just doesn't support Moz. There are lots of other bugs on this
already (search for bugs with "espn" in the URL).
