The first time I visited the new site it correctly suggested Iowa teams for me, but when I went back later it suggested Bay Area teams, so I think it's drunk or something...

I don't like how everything in the layout just blends into each other, it's difficult to scroll and scan through because there isn't enough separation/contrast between articles.

Its a web 2.5 site that uses content boxes (tiles) and mostly not designed for people looking at it on a pc, because mos (61%) of ESPN users are doing so on mobile devices. I could absolutely do with out the scrolljacking, and I think they need some better contrasts, but its a billion times better than their 1998 site.

You either get mobile first design that makes the site nice and usable or you get pushed to an app constantly* with a blargh site on the phone. I'll take the former, thanks. *they will still push you to the app as much as possible

I know this is the bitching thread but I quite like grantland's mobile layout. One column, all text, ads above/below the story. The articles themselves on the other hand...

Did people actually like the old site design? It was bloated and dated as hell. I'm not totally in love with the new design yet, but at least it doesn't look like it's stuck in 2004 anymore.

I only hope they have more autoplay videos when you click on a news story that consist of a 30 second ad and a 25 second sportscenter segment that says what the article says.

That pisses me off way more than it should. It's common enough on websites now that I generally keep my sound on mute unless I specifically need it, but it is so goddamn annoying when I have the sound on and click on an ESPN scoreboard.

Buck acts like Moss just killed a baby. Buck brought it up when Moss joined them for a telecast. Moss said "I played the game, you analyzed it, you said what you said, I did what I did, we moved on from it, now we're working together." Buck's never explained his logic, but it's probably just Joe Buck being...Joe Buck.

I don't know, I don't really give a poo poo about the political affiliations or beliefs of my sports people, unless they're really funny a la Pete Carroll, so I'd probably do the same as him, and I don't really get why the columnist is all upset about it. I'm there to coach the team, I'm going to talk about that side of things regardless of what the University is paying me, or what stance they and the NCAA are taking.

Oh look a Dave Zirin column where he's arguing that someone has a moral obligation to do something no matter how tenuous the connection is. At least it's not his column arguing that the Jackie Robinson West story was really about the evils of 21st-century gentrification, wherein he provided zero examples of gentrification on the South Side of Chicago.

Crazy Ted posted:Mike Shisheffski was on the eve of coaching his team in the Final Four against a team that has made it to the Final Four seven times in sixteen years. It was basically all that was on his mind all week. Would it have made anyone feel any better if he read out a statement that was written for him by an intern? Apparently the answer is yes for some reason.

Can't remember if I heard it while falling asleep or when waking up. e: Rolling Stone's statement [emphasis mine]: Will Dana, Managing Editor posted:A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: Last November, we published a story, 'A Rape on Campus' [RS 1223], that centered around a University of Virginia student's horrifying account of her alleged gang rape at a campus fraternity house. Within days, commentators started to question the veracity of our narrative. Then, when The Washington Post uncovered details suggesting that the assault could not have taken place the way we described it, the truth of the story became a subject of national controversy.

I think some people were upset because Rolling Stone said they weren't going to fire anybody. On one hand it seems like a screw up like that should cost someone their job, on the other firing people isn't exactly a solution.
