Does anyone still go there?

Maybe it's just my age now. I was in my late 20's when the interent was growing. I would say that for most male's (and chics) my age, that was the one website you went to, several times a day.

I remember when they started insider, I even paid for the membership from around 98-04.

You go over there now, and practically any link on there is insider only. IMO, they have demolished that site.

Usually around once a day, just to scan the headlines. If I need to look up an old box score or something like that, they've got them going back at least 6 years, so that's useful.

I'm with you - used to go there all the time. Now, maybe once every other day.

I'd go there more if their website wasn't terrible, but it's my first stop when I need scores or whatever.

It has a lot of good info, but it's a pretty crappy website. Whoever thought of putting those popout box of links above the college football/basketball links on the front page should be shot.

ESPN modeled their website (at least the front page) after Yahoo's.

I would use it more if they didnt have so much going on on their front page.

Yea, same here. Its a good resource to look stuff up but rarely do I look to anything ESPN related for anything other than a box score.

I subscribed to their RSS feeds so I don't need to "go there" but I still read their content quite a bit. I get ESPN the magazine so I have the insider package for free which I like.
