The Top 5 Sports News Web Sites



There are literally thousands of sites on the web to get your sports news information. Whether you want the latest headlines, and other results, editorials, or in-depth analysis, there are countless choices for you. While some websites offer only one or two of these things, there are several that offer all this and more. My Top 5 are as follows:

5 Yahoo Sports (sports.yahoo.com) - this site is all substance and no flash. It looks essentially the same as it was five years old. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it just does not knock your socks off. All the information you need is readily available and up to date. Columnists are not known as a top site, but they are solid.

4 FOX Sports (msn.foxsports.com) - A few years ago this site was a mess. This is an anti-Yahoo! - All flash and no substance. In recent years you've calmed down flash and increased tvari.Žive gamecasts at the top are very innovative. For example, a baseball game you not only see the result, but also an overview of the diamond and the runners are on base. If you are interested in a particular game you roll the mouse over it and get more details. If FOX keeps innovation as it is, they will be number 4 for a long time.

3 Sports Illustrated (sportsillustrated.cnn.com) - This site points out two things - editorials and rumors. They are the best writers (they are Sports Illustrated after all) and doing an excellent job of providing tons of content. Peter King's Monday morning Quarterback column is absolutely priceless. They also draw up a "truth and rumors" section for each of the major sports. It is basically a compilation of all the rumors from local newspapers throughout zemlji.Najbolji part about it is that it is free, unlike ESPN's rumors.

2 CBS SportsLine (cbs.sportsline.com) - all the best of SportsLine - they are often the first break news, gamecasts are innovative and effective, and it is worth fantasy sports are the best on the web. Well, they are great at everything except editorials and analysis, and they are terrible at it. Tony Mejia, Dennis Dodd, Pete Prisco, and Greg Doyle are the worst group of sports writers on the web. Where are the editorials from their on-air personalities like Jim Nantz and Billy Packer? ESPN and FOX manage to get their on-air personalities to write, maybe CBS should consider. Read comments at the bottom of any article in any of these writers, and you'll understand that I am not the only one who thinks that they are horrible.

1 ESPN (www.espn.com) - they are consistently ahead of the curve in each of the important aspects. They are the world leader in sports and they show no signs of giving up that crown on the web. I commend them for getting the best of their personalities - John Clayton, Steven A. Smith, Barry Melrose, and Peter Gammons - to write consistently good članak.Jedini downside is that too much information is hidden in the "insiders", ESPN's paid service. It is frustrating to read the title, click, and then realize that you can not read the story, because you'll have to pay for it.
