If you go to the original video from ESPN and play it, mouse over the video and you'll see a box to the right that says "Share Disabled for this Video." So for some of their content ESPN is stopping scripts like ours from embedding them.

Eh thats a very stupid marketing move by them..
Video embedding works as not only content delivery but help advertise your site to the masses, i built a couple of sites that have their own players and when people share those embedded video's over other forums or sites i noticed looking at the hits meter in the Cpanel that a lot of the unique hits were directly imported from those video's, people would watch the video's and i guess go to the sites and see if they can find more content like it..
Thats also why Youtube is so popular, it's video's are everywhere, people click them and want more, Youtube wont go anywhere for decades to come and will continue to thrive because of their name-brand being any and everywhere..
