CNNSi or ESPN?

I normally prefer to get my sports news from ESPN.com and sometimes I go to CNNSi.com for a few of the writers there. However, the autoplaying video on espn.com has made me more of a cnnsi reader lately. I can't stand that kind of thing -- it's just as bad as someone's site playing loud midi music with no way to turn it off. The espn site doesn't seem to have a way to set a preference so it doesn't play the video every time you go there. Bad design, particularly on World Usability Day.
