Comments: ESPN + RSS = WIP (Work In Progress)

I have a site up and have the ESPN XML link. What do I need to use to display the XML link?
Are there free downloadable programs/players available?

When you say you have a site up and have the links from above, do you mean you want to display the latest news from ESPN on your site? Several sites do this, but I don't have the time at the moment to point you to how.

Now, if you just want to view these sites on your computer, you can download a News Reader / Aggregator.
For Windows, I've heard good things about Feedreader and SharpReader. Since I read my feeds on a Mac, NetNewsWire is my favorite.

Exactly! I'd like to display the ESPN news feed on my web site using the XML link. I've found the XML link, but don't know how to use it!

I was able to find NewsIsKnowledge, but as they offer service packages with their readers, their costs were pretty steep.

Are there any free downloadable XML readers available that will do the trick?

A very quick search on google led me to this site:
RSS-to-JavaScript
It's a service that given the links will produce the javascript to include in your site to grab the latest headlines.
Now, I don't vouch for this service. I really hope they only check the feeds once an hour and not everytime someone comes to the site, but it should be a good starting point for including links in your site.

I noticed you were looking for the college basketball feed. Check here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/ncaa/news

Thanks for the link. I can't remember if I knew about this feed or not. I'd prefer one for just basketball since I don't care about football, but beggers can't be choosers.

ESPN is now offering RSS access to all its columnists...

Good evening. Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Tan bed lotion. I found only this - used high pressure Tanning beds. The research was published online in the medical journal lancet oncology on wednesday, by experts at the international agency for research on cancer in lyon, the cancer arm of the world health organization. Use a quality tanning lotion to realize. With respect ;-), Rey from Taiwan.
