I can't stand it, espn used to be a great site, but now all the really good articles cost money. you now have to be an "insider" :grr: the only reason now to go to that site is if you want scores, but how soon till THAT costs money too?
ESPN, you're dead to me :grr:

7. He was fired for sexual harrassment.

Sounds as if he'd been warned multiple times and a new complaint was recently filed, thus the immediate firing.

2. You used to be able to watch Real Time for free.

Now you have to pay for it. I only go there to check scores and game times now.

3. yeah, i'll only use the scores to monitor my fantasy teams

they update gametime stats pretty quickly, so if i want to see an at bat for one of my players, i'll go to espn for that. if they make the scoreboard insider, then heads roll.
