Alternative to ESPN.com?

[Heifetz]

ESPN is the shithole. Nearly everything interesting is premium, and it even plays an ad when you load the page. What are the best alternatives for sports commentary and news?

I just read Yahoo & once in a while listen to the audio commentary. Any more then that, you might as well listen to wfan.

 

[puffff]

www.si.com

yeah, espn pisses me off with all their 'insider' articles.

cbs.sportsline.com is where i usually go now.

 

[austin316]

sportsline.com, si.com, foxsports.com, sportingnews.com and my favorite site, collegefootballnews.com (obvisously just for college football)

 

[JujuFish]

TSN is a great site for hockey.

 

[habib89]

foxsports and yahoo are the two i read the most..

I go to ESPN.com for Bill Simmons's diaries.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

CNNSI is my favorite. I never read ESPN as thier coverage and writing skills are that of a 12yr old.

I've been getting mighty pissed at them for this lately as well and am on board in finding another source. :frown:

I read ESPN for the Page 2 guys - especially Bill Simmons and the Daily Quickie. Other than that...CBS Sportsline or Fox Sports

Considering the amount of content though, ESPN's premium content is not priced that high.

You can get it from 10-20 bucks for an entire year, since you get premium content with a magazine subscription. (The only reason i ordered the magazine).

Isn't comcast coming up with some sports channel soon, is it like OLN or something?

 

[EKKC]

si and foxsports
