I look at the football section of espn and almost every story has an "in" sign next to it. Are there that many people who pay for that service? I

What really sucks is actually paying for some of the worst sports news on one of the slowest, quirky sites on the net. That's ESPiN.

That's what I'd do if I wanted it....I'd be more than happy to rip them off, screw them.....no way am I going to give cash to ESPN for anything.

Do what I do...Sign up for the free 30 day trial membership 30 days out from Draft day. That way you get the info(or lack of) for free. Then tell them to piss off after day 29 of the trial period.

Trust me, there isn't any "insider" info at all that can't be found for free...it's just the evil Disney empire trying to rip you off.
they need the money to pay for those pathetic "gender equity" female reporters we have to listen to during NFL games.

Some of it has to do with the fact that ESPN sucks. But who knows?
You know what bugs me? Sites that put in video content that loads automatically. Inevitably, I go there in the middle of the night, and it always ends up startling the hell out of me.

ESPN has become so pathetic at times that Suzy is one of their top reporters actually.
Why do Irvin and Smith always yell like they are teaching us a lesson when both are idiots? Well...because they are idiots and think yelling will make us listen like some docile wife/slut.
If you remember, O.J. had a habit of not yelling, but talking loud. I have a bad habit of doing it when something animates me, but reckognize it and will tone down.
These clowns have ear pieces that the studio can say "stop yelling" but evidently they are deaf.
Sometimes a damn pop-up you just accidentally click literally steals your computer and you have to reboot or you lose the site. I have always taken the stance that these sites try to at least cover costs, the internet providers arent paying them anything, they are paying them, and we get it for free...but when your hijacked it still pisses you off. Sure I got popup blockers, but sometimes these crafty suckers get thru and enprison you.

Yeah, me too. Not to mention the error messages and the browser shutting down messages that crop up. I don't need laser light shows. Just give me the damn news, okay?
