| ESPN.com's new look |
For a number of years, I’ve
tried to get away from ESPN.com. ESPN is
generally biased, self-serving, and more eager to promote themselves then
accurately cover sports. More often than
not, they fabricate and/or grossly exaggerate the story in order to make it
more news worthy. I always want to get
away from ESPN, but there’s very few alternatives out there.
A couple of weeks ago,
ESPN.com change the format of their site, and I’m happy to say that I don’t
like it one bit. There’s too much going
on, too many Flash videos running, and there’s almost no sports information
until you dig in. Heck, most of the good
content on the site is only for “In” members, and I don’t pay for that
crap. So I’m finally able to say I’m
going to be leaving ESPN.com. I can’t
get away from the ESPN TV stations (unless someone has a solution), but at
least I can lessen my dependence on all my sports info and news coming from
ESPN.
I now will rely solely on a
sweet app I downloaded a couple years ago called “The Score.” It’s got tons of news, a good headlines page,
and let’s my pick what teams and sports I care about most, without forcing the
Yankees-Red Sox game(s) down my throat.
Also, it’s minimally self-promoting (every app and station promotes
itself somewhat, but it’s a pale fraction of what ESPN does).
Adios, ESPN.com!
