From the ESPN.com Photo Gallery (also found in the main RSS Feed!):
ESPN Photo Gallery: No Free Passes
Falcons QB Michael Vick received a rough welcome back to action as Atlanta lost to the Houston Texans 17-13 on Sunday.
See the rest of the photos at ESPN.com [ESPN.com]
I wonder where that pass ended up going?
Update: the pass was incomplete and Vick was called for Intentional Grounding.

Hey, I did a google search and found your site. I have my own site that I am trying to set up a RSS Feed specifically for the ESPN Photo Gallery. I just want to display the picture that is in ESPN’s xml on my page. I however do need to make the image smaller in size. I already have a RSS Feed setup using the ESPN XML that just displays the headlines for news articles. However, I want to have “another” feed only for the photo. I’d really love any help or insight you may have because I really am at a lose right now. Great SITE!

well, you’re going to have to process it with code, unfortunately. If it wasn’t clear from my posts, I actually work for ESPN.com, so I can’t really help you any more than just suggesting you work with the existing feed. I’ve wanted to do a photo gallery feed but there are some technical issues that make that less than trivial on our end.
If we do put up a photo gallery feed, I will definitely announce it here.

thanks for the help even though you techinically can’t. I am just learning some RSS stuff and so I’ll just have to mess with it. Anyway, tell your people at ESPN they NEED a NCAA Basketball and Football Feed too!!! Hey, and maybe do feeds for just scores! Anyway, the only thing I can’t figure out is how to pick out the gallery image without getting the rest of the feed. If I knew that, I could probably do what I am trying to do.

look into xslt or xml processing… that’s all this stuff is… you can then text match or whatever…
