Which page are you seeing autoplaying on?

I clicked on a 160 word snipet about Cassel accepting the Pats' franchise tender, and got autoplay from both the caption picture that turned into a Transformers 2 trailer (can't wait for that movie), as well as the right column of the page selling Powerade Zero. Not to mention the NASCAR banner ad scrolling across the top of the screen.

I understand the financial crunch and how important marketing dollars are right now. However, when you have to hunt around the ads and trailers, and other miscellaneous revenue pieces begin to overpower the great content of the site, it just gets kind of annoying. Maybe I'm overblowing it. I dunno. Just a thought I guess.
