While writing this post I went to NFL.com to see if the NFL was offering blogs to fans. I did a search for blog on their site. Here is a screenshot of the results I received (click for larger version).

All the visible results are from advertisers. I had to scroll down to find the real results to the search. Now remember two things:

1. I chose to search NFL.com and not 'the web'. I can understand providing me a list of external links for a 'web' search, but not when I am looking for something on NFL.com.

2. I have a high resolution screen and the section title NFL.com results is barely visible at the bottom. Anybody coming in with 1024x768 resolution would not see that.

I know the NFL is trying to pay the bills but this is ridiculous. This would be like calling the NFL corporate offices, asking to speak to the legal department, then being placed on hold and hearing advertisements for law firms for 10 minutes.
