Anybody suddenly getting a different look on ESPN's front page?

For some reason I find it irritating.

Yes. I am on my IPad. I haven't tried by laptop.

I'm not a fan either, and normally I like change.

It looks like a fucking blog and for some reason that's bothering me. Too much info on the page. Only thing that's nice is that you can filter through to team pages faster on the menu.

Not a fan, but as always, we adapt, improvise and overcome.

from what I have read, it is supposed to be more "personalizeable" if that makes sense

Oh and the "favorites" shit on the left hand side that I have to create an account for or whatever.....fuck that. Is there a way to hide it?

Yeah I also found it annoying. I'm not opposed to change. Just sucky change.

I reloaded the page...twice! I was thinking I had been redirected to somewhere else. Don't care for ESPN on the tube, and now in Cyberspace also. Hi Ho

I think we're all agreed that it sucks big time. What the heck were they thinking?

I've been going on espn.com less and less over the years. This newest "upgrade" has been the final straw in my removal of it from my favorites list. It's horrible and I too enjoy change
I'm not a fan of personalization.
I get annoyed by that.

I've basically stopped going since all of the articles I wanted to read you had to pay for (which I refused to do). Since then they've become increasingly biased and self-promoting to the point that I can't even watch ESPN anymore (only time is when a team I like is playing).

What's so classic is that this set up has been on the espn fc (soccer) set up for some time
I stopped checking in to their soccer reports since then - to me they used their soccer page as a beta site

Time to use NFL.com for NFL and MLB.com for MLB.

Anyone got a quality website for college hoops / football news?

Fuck ESPN.
