we shall refer to that as "neutral"
That sounds like I don't have an opinion, but I most certainly do!
the poll shall have a simple yes, no, neutral and also an option for someone to express their well thought out opinion stating both why they like and dislike mr. scott (is he related to coretta btw?)...the last option will be designated by the name of the rmer who holds said extensive opinion

i think it depends on (i) whether you're south of the mason/dixon line, and (ii) to which race you're converting

So I was directed to a link while I was reading up on Bucs' draft strategies. The link was an analysis on ESPN.com Apparently, unless you are an "Insider", you cannot read ANY of the draft analysis articles for the upcoming NFL draft. Suck it, Kiper and McShay.

There's nothing really all that interesting you can't get elsewhere. Mayock's articles are still free over at NFL.com as far as I know.

I'm still trying to figure out how their Insider model is even viable since you can Google the title and usually find it copied and pasted somewhere on the internet.

My brother in subscribed to ESPN the Magazine about 6 years ago (and only for 1 year), and received a free insider account. It still works. I've been using his username and password ever since. The best thing I use it for is to read the comments to Jim Bowden's inane articles.

To Nick's point, I don't know how their business model works, but it sucks pretty badly.

Thinking about it a bit more, ESPN probably makes enough money through commercials and bending TV providers over that they can afford to take a loss on this.

About once a year I write them to see if I can get a video of my dog when he made top ten plays of the day. Every time, I get "it is not our policy to release videos to the public". It isn't on the internet (it was 2005) and lately I tell them how my dog is old and I would like it as a memory. I suppose when my dog passes I can send them a picture of my dead dog, they can compare it to the video they have of him, and release to me the video. I hate ESPN.

I had several projects that coordinated with the "Insider" team. They don't know what the fuck they are doing.

It's a useless subscription. It's just typical vanilla ESPN writing times 3 or 4. You'll find the same info on any other major or minor sports blog, and it will be presented 100 times better.

I do enjoy their player profiles for every NBA player prior to every season.
