thats pretty much exactly how i feel

except i get espn insider for neyer and KLaw, not buster olney, who also sucks. and i would also not subscribe to entertainment weekly even if it was free.

but yeah, espn the mag blows for every reason that guy mentions and probably some more too.

This is so right

I got that rag for signing up to insider. One of the first issues that I got had an article about David Wright. I started reading it and between the font size changing every 3rd word and the crappy writing, I only got about half way through it before I chucked the whole thing. Since then, when I get the mail, I toss that piece of junk in the dumpster before I even go inside. It never even makes it in my house.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

As TMQ says...

ESPN The Magazine, published on Earth, The Planet.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

another half naked man on the most recent cover too

Like the t.v. channel, the magazine is too big, too full of unimportant crap and almost impossible to take. How many channels of ESPN are there?

1. ESPN
2. ESPN2
3. ESPN News
4. ESPN classic
5. ESPN Deportes

Did I miss any?

Give me highlights, funny commenting on the side, pre-game analysis, college football, major league baseball and the NFL in that order and that’s all I need from ESPN.

ESPN lost there way when they made a hot dog eating contest a big deal.

I think

there’s also ESPNU, or whatever the hell they call the one centered on college sports.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
