I'm noticing some goofiness here, but it's not always reproducible if you don't
interact with the website.

I'm using the Flashblock extension, and here are the steps to get a crash:
1) Go to espn.com, site loads with a large flash ad at the top, which will
compress down to a smaller ad in a few seconds.  This will be a flashblock template.
2) Click the large ad flashblock template (in this case, ad for Nike), so it
starts playing.
3) When ad shrinks, click the smaller ad template, boom, instant crash.

As I said, if I don't click anything, it doesn't crash.  Flash menu navigation
on the page works well.

This is using flash 7:
    File name: NPSWF32.dll
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19

Looks like a duplicate of Bug 284173. Could you provide any Talkback incident
IDs for the crashes?
