Bmwolf21 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 The conversation we had about how ESPN has moved a lot of their content to premium, "insider only" access and Yahoo Sports changing their layout and design made me wonder where most of our posters go to get the bulk of their sports news. (Trying to exclude sport or team-specific sites here, so I didn't add the Buffalo News, SabreSpace or Spector's Trade Rumors.) For me, I seem to use Yahoo Sports a lot more than I used to, since the layout is pretty cool, I don't get attacked with video clips and most of the content (if not all) is free.

TM8-PL16 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I use yahoo as well... and I'd say 99% because the pages are basic, load fast, don't have pop-ups, and are easy to navigate. I used to go to espn.com a few years ago, but since they got all the bells and whistles on everypage, just looking at stats is a total pain there... yahoo is basic and easy info to get quickly. especially at work where a lot of video crap is blocked anyway and it just wastes my time... I just want the info quick and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yahoo seems to be the quickest with news and stat updates. My only complaint is that it's usually the "released AP reports," and nothing too in depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalOhio Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 When trade deadline comes around, I usually stick to TSN.ca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogie Oglethorpe Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 TSN.ca has the best hockey coverage hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I use yahoo.com, but my biggest complaint is that when I check in the morning, they already have the games for that evening instead of the scores from the previous night. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 TSN.ca/nhl Best column writers, knowledgeable staff, quick updates. They publish both AP and CP stories. ESPN, sans a little Bucci from time to time, is trash. However, I appreciate them ceasing to suck major market dick now that they don't televise games. SI couldn't care any less about hockey.

Goodfella25 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 TSN.ca is lightning fast with trade news, and also features a great team salary/depth chart section, player profiles etc etc etc. Top-notch site. I also like the hockey news to look at transactions and sometimes player/team features. They've had a few good ones about Buffalo on their site this year. ESPN is horrible. Half the time they can't get guys' names right, and their message boards (although no fault of their own) are a hellhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 For hockey, I go to TSN. For everything else, I go to ESPN. I have insider access since it came free with a subscription to the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
