    The new webpage of ESPN suks!
    The new webpage of Espn.com suks. It is much more difficult to read as the layout is complicated with chit thrown all over the screen. This is another case of why companies feel they have to fix things that do not need fixing.

    Visit ESPN for live scores, highlights and sports news. Stream exclusive games on ESPN and play fantasy sports.

      Completely agree. Like a lot of webpage re-designs it seems to be for the sole purpose of laying in more ads. That said, anytime a webpage is changed it looks funky for a short period. When they redesigned SBR everybody here was irate. Nowadays it seems perfectly normal.....I can't even remember what the old page was like.

          How long have they had this gambling page?

          espn.go.com/chalk/

          They even have live odds from Sports Insights:

          Is all this new?

                They must have had consultation from the Windows 8.0 development staff.

                      Yeah, it's surprisingly pretty nice.

                      I'm not quite sure how this is free, I thought Sports Insights was a pretty big business with lots of subscribers. I wonder if they somehow teamed up with ESPN.

                        ESPN's web site is way better now. You can follow your favorite teams on the left side, on the right are different twitter pages to follow, every video from at least the last 3 days is on the front page also.

                          http://espn.go.com/
                          Yeah its awful. Its the opposite of user friendly. I hate espn but i use it to get quick scores and schedules but this might be enough for me to totally stop visiting espn.com

                          i think i will start using mlb.com

                          nfl.com

                          nba. com

                          etc

                              Way too many fukkin pop ups on espn.com

                              i am scared to click anything for fear of being re-directed to another website or forced to watch some gay ass advertising video.

                              Fukk espn.

                                          Chalk has been around for a little while as for lines they're getting ready for the HUGE ad potential of referring to gambling websites. Can you say AFFILIATE REVENUE

                                                But what when it becomes legalized? Will online sports betting be legal as well? If so do the math.

                                                          Seems a lot of sites I go to have been changing up the color and specifically the font they use. All have been horrible choices. The font is large and fuzzy and bulky; very hard to read.
