[PHP] Magpie RSS - Help

So I’m tryin to integrate an RSS feed onto a site and after hour and hours of browsing through “free” RSS to HTML solutions I figured Magpie would be a good solution. However, I can’t get it to work or at least don’t know what needs to be done to make it display a specific feed (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/services/rss/ to be exact)

Anyway, could someone help me out one what I need to do… I didn’t quite understand their instructions.

And actually if someone has a better RSS parser that I could use that they didn’t just google, but have actually used that’d be great too. My only limitation is that it can’t require the use of a SQLdb
