How often do you visit espn.com?

[Comfortably Lomb]

When a SoSHer links to an article that sounds interesting is about it. I never seek it out.

Basically. Many years ago they were a go-to for sports coverage but there are so many options now. Honestly, the whole PTI / Around the Horn style of screaming about stuff that doesn't matter or villainizing players/teams/owners over nothing rubbed me the wrong way and I tuned out of the website in addition to the channel.

I don't subscribe to ESPN+, so I don't know if they have any good content left as the free stuff is borderline clickbait. Scores and standings are about it for me.

It used to be my homepage.

It was the my first indication something was up on September 11th after I woke up in college, and the page wasn't loading at all. It was like back in the old days of dial up modems where the page was loading line by line, and I was waiting to see what the smoke was from in the photo on the front... then I turned on the TV.

Now I rarely if ever go there unless I haven't been able to find anyone with the story on something to see if ESPN with it's vast reach of reporters might have it before anyone else.

just for box scores, lineups, standings and links to Mike Reiss's articles

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Same as the above. Schedule, scores, Reiss, and highlights. I would rather never go there but I don't have an alternative other than the MLB.tv app which is baseball only.

 

[trotsplits]

I am directed there for an occasional article via the Google news aggregator. I never visit the site organically.

Likewise.

fantsty and i use a app called sports sorces i think is the name

 

[DourDoerr]

Haven’t been there since it became clear to me how much they intentionally distorted DFG. Couldn’t believe how irresponsible they’ve been on the issue. I even used to have a sub.

Now, for me, it’d be like going to Fox for news. Completely discredited and contributed to the loss of a 1st round pick for my team. FUCK THEM.

 

[Al Zarilla]

For schedule pages, any sport. They post starting times in my local time vs. East Coast time by every other site I know. Small thing, and, yeah, I can convert time zone times in my head, but what the hey. Their game stats are as good as I’ve seen for NBA, maybe NFL games, PBP in baseball sucks though, compared with MLB.com. I go to ESPN at least twice a day, probably.

 

[richgedman'sghost]

Never, and don't watch it either. Now that my AL-Only fantasy league has moved to another provider, I have no reason to go there anymore. Always had disdain for ESPN dating back to when they bumped the NHL link to the "Other Sports" in favor of NASCAR and MMA. That NFL and NBA coverage dominates doesn't help since, for me, they're a distant 3rd and 4th for me behind MLB and NHL.

I know this is a website discussion, but I don't even watch the channel anymore. There hasn't been another major cable station that has gone from must watch to absolutely no interest for me since I grew out of cartoon network. I think the non-stop Sandusky coverage and the killing of Baseball Tonight was the death knell for me.

What will you do now that the NHL is going back to ESPN and ESPN +? Will that change your viewing options? Honest question.

What will you do now that the NHL is going back to ESPN and ESPN +? Will that change your viewing options? Honest question.

Probably just for playoffs the way NBCS is now (aside from the odd Saturday/Sunday matinee Wednesday rivalry games, assuming they keep the same structure). Ultimately the Bruins are on NESN so it's a matter of finagling that rather than ESPN. Isn't NESN technically an ESPN affiliate or whatever? If ESPN coverage for the NHL is a net positive, that's a good thing. They'll need to prove it before I'd seek out ESPN+ access or anything like that.

I only use https://www.espn.com/boston/. I'm not a + guy, and SoSH and The Athletic are both better sources.

PS - I like Reiss, but I really like the transcripts of the press calls with BB et al on patriots.com: https://www.patriots.com/news/transcripts

 

[Bleedred]

stopped ever since deflategate. Cbsports.com is where I go now to get basic sports news and scores

Same, espn is dead to me unless I need to watch a live game on TV.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Same, espn is dead to me unless I need to watch a live game on TV.

But they had Spikeball on today!

 

[joe dokes]

Once a day, just to get all the scores in one place. The headlines do a fine job of making me not want to read anything.

From the live blog of tonights Mayweather-YouTuber dance exhibition, an unfortunate description of a D-lister in Floyd's entourage:

Fight in progress: Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul, 8 rounds, "special exhibition"
Mayweather walks to the ring wearing green and white. A large entourage that includes raper Moneybagg Yo is with Mayweaether.
