Those videos are awful. It would be one thing if I had the option to start them manually like how you can change the settings on your music on your myspace page, but having them start automatically is incredibly annoying.

I have no idea if this will disable it at soccernet too, but it appears to work at espn.com so long as you tell it to remember your name and password.
