Is the ticker scrolling across the top? Maybe try quitting Chrome and restarting it?

ticker is fine.

It is working fine now. I logged out, closed and reopened the browser and all is good now, thank you. I was about to blame the Patriots...lol

Ha ha, glad that fixed it.

Are you using any add-ons? If you are I would suggest re-starting with them turned off, also try clearing cache and cookies.
I have 3 PCs that I use and each uses a different browser, Firefox being the best, then IE and Chrome, all work fine for me, so I would think frustratingly its your end .

Hope you get it sorted before your pick, can you use another PC/phone to do it until you get it fixed?
