Honestly guys.....sbnation and bleacher report. Tons of great writers and content. More than I can ever read.

I haven't gone to ESPN for anything except scores in ages.

Bleacher Report may have the best content ever but with the site the way it is I will never find out.

You want to see who the top 20 players are(insert sport here)?

Now you have to click each individual link to find out instead of just naming them all in one article.

That's the reason I hate that site and those like it.

ESPN making EVERYTHING with even a hint of analysis an InsIDER article, I just cant take it.

This is by far the most annoying thing ever.

Oh you want to read about the draft? Pay for Insider!

Come check out the top prospects in baseball! But, you have to pay first!

Wanna see Jay Bilas' bracket? Pay up first!

Why do they think that's a good idea? I can see hundreds of other mock drafts and not have to pay a cent. Have Kiper and McShay really been that good lately? Seems like a terrible business model to force people to pay to read articles when they can just find similar analysis elsewhere for free.

Agreed. I've always wondered what those articles look like. I imagine that anyone who becomes an Insider immediately has buyer's remorse after reading their first article.

I used it have it when I subscribed to ESPN the Magazine. But honestly, the articles were pretty much nothing that you couldn't get from other sites. Especially their Rumors stuff. I mean if you follow any sort of sports stuff on Twitter, you pretty much know all the rumors anyway.

Its funny because I don't really remember Kiper or McShay's stuff being Insider until the last year or so. And again, with all the mock draft sites out there and how just about anyone has a mock draft, why would I pay for Kiper/McShay? I don't think their mocks have been any better than the rest of the mock draft community over the years, right?

With all the sports sites out there now: Yahoo Sports, CBS Sports, SI, MMQB, B/R, SB Nation, NFL, MLB, NBA, etc., why does ESPN feel like they need to have people pay for their "insider" content?

It annoys me to no end when CNN announces someone's death, has an entire page talking about that person's life, and then DOESN'T include a ####### picture of the person! Really? You can't post a little ####### picture so people know who the #### you are talking about and then we can go "oh, it was THAT guy that died".

You know what, CNN...you can go fly a kite. Yeah, go fly a ####### kite you ####### ##########.
