This one's been around forever.  I wouldn't be surprised if
their HTML is non-standard.  Still, ESPN is a very popular
site.  It's not good if it looks terrible in Mozilla.

I love Mozilla, by the way, and the work is terrific.

Looks fine to me on the Linux 2000061417 build.  Doesn't seem like it's
the table rendering bug, since http://www.linux.com is still totally
screwed.

I did some more digging...

I was not very clear and apologize for that.  

One problem is the "TOP STORIES" area, which has a 
tabbed folder kind of thing.  I attached a snippet 
of HTML at the end.  The bug is that clicking on the 
tabs gets no response.

Another problem is <P></P> gives no vertical separation.
So a list of items like what's attached below looks bunched up.
Perhaps the HTML spec says no vertical separation here,
but it ends up making lists look really chaotic.
