Looks like someone ripped off Pinterest.

So far, there appears to be quite a few bugs, but I suppose you'll have that with new things. You would just think that something as large as ESPN would thoroughly vet & test any new changes.

Not familiar with Pinterest but I think it sucks on my phone. I don't want their stories shoved in my face....I want scores. Took a bit to find NBA scores.

I was hoping it was an April Fools joke. I am slowly getting used to it.

Agreed. It feels like Bleacher Report to me. I am not enamored of it but the old site was not particularly user-friendly. Finding what you wanted was often like navigating a fucking maze. The layout felt cluttered in areas.

My favorites on the side and all the scores being available in 1 bar at the top immediately make it an upgrade.

I dont use ESPN for anything but that anyway, so I am probably biased. Any article/story/whatever ELSE they provide on the website, I get via Twitter...

That's where we differ, I guess. I use Twitter very infrequently, so when I want to read a sports article I generally do so using traditional sites like ESPN. The new format, at least with regard to the articles, is bothersome to read due to the blog-like feel that Pick6 spoke of above. All of the content seems to blend together, making it difficult to look at. I don't know, maybe it's the all white background that is throwing me off, as ESPN use to use more color in its scheme.

The new scoreboard at the top is a nice upgrade, though. I agree.

I cannot believe CNN bought that pile of crap and ditched SI. And Chrome hates that new CNNSI, but maybe they fixed it.

Rarely go to ESPN. Site always seemed so busy and convoluted.

This. They can have all of the bells & whistles in the world but as long as they keep putting out that crap journalism, same old, same old. What's that saying about "lipstick on a pig?"
