I see the blink and it is gone even on 4-stable. I went there using 
Internet Explorer and it appears that my connection from Firefox to 
Realplayer is not functional. When it starts to bring up realplayer for 
the audio/video is when firefox seems to blink and go away. Konqueror 
will bring up the page but it won't do the nfl audio-video.
