i dont know if it's supposed to look like this, but to me it seems like your design doesn't work at all in FF 3.0.1 (what i'm using). the leftmost column is a dark grey and has 2 search boxes, then a white column in the middle has navigation links, then another light gey column in the biddle has content, and the dark grey column on the right has pictures. it seems like the two columsn on the left are wrong. the entire leftmost column seems to exist for the sole purpose of advertising and money-gathering, and this turns users off from websitses. try finding a better positioning for the search bars, not to mention cutting it down to only 1 search box - why use 2? i suggest moving the navigation bar over to the left and putting the ads below them - true, the user may have to scroll to see them, so maybe get horizontal ones and put them between your content parts.

once u move that over, u'll have more room for ur content box, and it will look better.

the main content of the homepage could probably be layed out a little better... - it just looks... blegh at the moment.

the athletes on the right is a nice touch though.

oh, PLEASE use some padding (css padding: 10px; or w/e) for wherever you have text (atm, your searchbar column and footer seem to be lacking). i just can't stand the sight of text fluck against the edge of something like that, it looks very tacky.

i really like the header though, so + for that.

The top search box searches the website for anything the user is looking for. Brings functionality to the website. The bottom Google search and adds are marketing. Thanks for your input
