Well it's Super Bowl time and I decided to visit the NFL home page:
www.nfl.com
Talk about cognitive overload!!!
1) There are 14 menu menu items running horizontally across/below the banner
2) The "Teams" menu pulldown has over 30 submenu items: one for each team in the NFL
(Does anybody remember the concept of "seven plus or minus two"?)
There are hundreds of links all over this page, most of which you don't even know they
are there unless you run your mouse over it, and then you are not even sure if you're on top of what you're trying to click to!
I have done some (not a lot) of web site design.
The main issue/problem I have with this page is that it is designed for a 1024 x 768 resolution screen and there are WAY! too many screen elements and they are too small.
Yes, there is a trend for larger screen sizes, but there is also a trend toward smaller screens such as found in iPhones and mini-laptops.
I don't have an iPhone or a Blackberry.
If anybody does, can they look at this site and tell me what it looks like on those devices?

Thanks
