Upon entering the official website of the Dallas Cowboys the browser than
redirects and the new URL is given as
http://www.dallascowboys.com/home.cfm?screensize=large

There are two items on the website as this is a VERY trivial matter. First off
the player of the week displays at a lower incline and even lower is their flash
ad. However whenever I change the screensize in the field from large to small
the website displays as it is supposed to. I tried inputting medium and the
website displays the same as it does when the initial large screensize is
determined.

With Internet Explorer the website determines the screen size as small. Could
this be a browser sniffer issue?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.dallascowboys.com
2. Wait for the page re-direct
3. Change the screen size from large to small
