ESPN Magazine Subscription

Pros: Large, slick and colorful

Cons: Shallow, immature journalism; poor design

The Bottom Line: Immature writing styles; poor photography; no "meat" in the articles

Review: "Dad . . . I?ve got a chance to win a new computer!!" With those words, my then 10-year old son suddenly and completely shatters my concentration.

It?s a rainy April evening, and my living room is a hubbub of activity. My beloved Boston...

Pros: A glitzy and fast paced BIG magazine aimed at twinks.

Cons: Not exactly deathless prose. Saturated with ads.

The Bottom Line: It's not up to the par of true sports magazines like Sports Illustrated or Sports Afield. I can't recommend it.

Review: Yeah, you caught me. I found a pile of sports and fitness magazines on the laundry room swap table. We must have a wannabe body builder in the building cause I don t see any muscles bulging anywhere in the halls. Along with Men s Health, there was a...

Pros: Big, large pictures, great short articles.

Cons: Ink rubs off on fingers real easy, takes forever to process subscription order.

Review: I usually save products I'm really interested in, or that have had a significant impact on my life for landmark epinions. So, for epinion #350, it's ESPN the Magazine. The first sports magazine I've ever ordered a subscription to since vowing I...

Pros: Great articles, superbly done outline, great quality of pictures

Cons: Just another sports magazine

The Bottom Line: Great articles, writers, and very unbiased yet opinionated pieces of work.

Review: I'm sure that the following fact is true for the majority of men in the United States: SportsCenter is one of the highlights of their day. I know that this is true for me, as the highly rated sports reporting show on ESPN airs at about...

Pros: Beautiful Photography, Excellent host of authors

Cons: Writers aren't allowed to live up to their potential!

The Bottom Line: One Long Ad

Review: This magazine should not be called ESPN the Magazine, it should be called ESPNmag.com. Most of the articles are extremely brief and leave the reader looking for a link to click for the rest of the article. Unfortunately, because it?s...

Pros: Price, Football Draft

Cons: Baseball articles, basketball, croquet, bowling

The Bottom Line: This is below their broadcast standards, and other than football draft coverage, its a good way to fall asleep.

Review: I heard a joke somewhere, that ESPN is what a drunk psychic thinks he has. It is a stupid joke, that will guarantee you an icy stare or gunshot wound, instead of a good hearty laugh. ESPN is one of the greatest innovations of the...

Pros: Only have a one year subscription

Cons: This is no sports center

Review: Are you a sports nut? Well if you are turn around and walk away. Having watched, played, coached read about sports for 35 plus years I think I have finally found a sports magazine that I can due without.

I purchased a subscription, sight...

Pros: Informative and entertaining

Cons: Takes a long time to read!

The Bottom Line: This magazine is fun and interesting, a lighter approach to keeping sports fans informed as well as entertained beyond the hard news of sports.

Review: I love sports. They re right up there with wine and Jane Austen novels. A few years ago I got suckered into subscribing to a magazine to support some youngster trying to go somewhere, and after choosing ESPN, and receiving it every other week, I...

Pros: Doesn't rehash what I know has already happened.

Cons: Nah.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this magazine to anyone tired of reading what they learned from the nightly SportsCenter, or their local paper.

Review: When I first heard that ESPN was going to start a magazine, I thought, "Well, they had to retaliate against Sports Illustrated since they started doing sports on CNN." I also figured we would have another version of the same old thing. What happened...

Pros: humor, packed with articles

Cons: The big book annoys me, only once a month

Review: I havent been a subscriber for espn the magazine, but i read about half of each year's issues. It has pretty good feature articles but it lacks the luster of a magazine such as sports illustrated. The major attribute that I enjoy is the tounge and...
