Help Playing CNN/ESPN videos

I have an issue that is driving me nuts and shouldnt be an issue on a device such as the S3. My phone will not play videos on CNN or ESPN. It says need adobe flash player which is already installed or says the video content cannot be displayed on my device. I've also tried using Chrome, Firefox, and Dolphin browsers with same thing. This seems ridiculous for the best smartphone on the market.

Does anyone else have this problem or can you see the videos on CNN and ESPN? Any way to fix this? I have already uninstalled and re-installed flash player that doesnt help. I read somewhere Adobe Flash Player is no longer supported on Android devices but others say they can see the videos fine. Others say Flash is getting old and the new future is HTML but that is depending on the websites? Tere has to be a way to see these videos on such major websites as CNN and ESPN. HELP!
 
They've blocked android devices from being able to access video content on the desktop version. The only way to get flash on espn to work is to use the puffin browser. Unfortunately the video isn't near as smooth and the browser is extremely choppy.
