Why are some sports sites obsessed with photo galleries now?
Fox sports is by far the worst. If I want to see how they're ranking NBA teams, I don't need to see a picture of Kobe Bryant to tell me the Lakers are 2nd. I don't need to see a picture of Kurt Warner to show they think the Cardinals are the worst playoff team remaining. What's wrong with a simple list? Don't they know that reading down a single page goes a lot quicker than having to click through 30 and waiting for each of the 30 pictures to load??

1. Agree
Just put up Whitlock or Mench's crappy story and get on with it.

2. LOL, well put
you shouldn't have to spend more than 10 minutes reading that stuff. Not to mention it makes hiding that you're reading sports at work difficult with a big ol' pic of the Trail Blazers splashed across the screen. :P
