Default ESPN really needs to upgrade their fantasy football servers

I've been trying to get a look at my league all damn day. Nothing but 503 server busy errors. Not once have I been able to load my league up. Come on ESPN, get your stinkin act together!

I'm trying to see if we can reorganize our league on yahoo because they're not bogged down like ESPN. Because like yeah, this is gonna suck. Maybe ESPN will get their act together but I'm thinkin probably not.

yahoo is fantastic this year, you should do a league thru them. they have live scoring, and they have a really cool feature that projects how your fantasy players should do every week. yahoo really took it to another level with the services they offer for free fantasy football.

I signed up for a random autodraft public league on yahoo just so I can get something goin on if this ESPN league doesn't work. With any luck ESPN will see the server logs and all of those 503 server too busy errors and do something about it.

I have league through Yahoo and one through ESPN. ESPN has been a PITA all day while Yahoo has been great. Keeping up with my ESPN league has really sucked.

Well it looks like ESPN has at least recognized a problem exists. I've been able to get at my league lately and the following message was posted on it.

Notice: ESPN.com Fantasy Football is experiencing technical difficulties. We are aware of the issue and working diligently to fix it. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
