Looking for ideas that I have not thought of, or that I over looked, or that can be donebetter than I have designed it...

Any and all input is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

As I told you on aim, I think it looks neat. One thing is the pictures seem a bit blurred, I don't know if you did that purpose.

Your stretching too many pictures, your header image is way distorted because you probably have size tags on it. Pull them out if you can and resize or create a new header the size you actually need. That's a good start at least.

Lose the red on your site James, it's not a good web color for monitors. Hurts some peoples eyes. Go with a Maroon if you have to.

Fixed the images...

Is there anything else functionally, or astetically that I could improve, or am completly missing?

I'd look at either havign the page conform to the monitor size, or put something on the right side, that large white space is distracting

other than that and the previous pciture issue (which you may have no control over if the source isnt that best), looks better than the one i'm working on

-I don't like frames
-I especially don't like to see scroll bars in the middle of the screen
-your graphics are blurry
-you've got too many background color changes, it might work for espn but theirs are more fitted together whereas yours have spaces inbetween

-I agree with the comment about the red, yikes! That change is a must.
-no graphics where it looks like there should be

I pretty much agree with everything kq said. Personally, I hate frames also. In addition, the differing background colors give the page a disjointed look like pieces have just been tacked together. I think the header graphics would look a lot better if they were more crisp as others have said.

I like the whole espn thingy.
