The Sporting News Magazine

Pros: More indepth coverage of more sports than anyone...
Cons: ...but the articles could be a tad longer as everything fights for space.

I dumped Sports Illustrated months ago for the newspaper-turned-magazine The Sporting News. Time was that TSN meant ten day old boxscores, briefings from the best beat writers in baseball and year round coverage of America’s pastime. ...

Pros: Consistency; All major sports are covered in every issue
Cons: Statistics can get a little ridiculous at times

The Sporting News is a publication that covers a wide range of professional sporting activities. Thi ...

Pros: Great Coverage of Baseball
Cons: Some sports are mostly overlooked

The Sporting News is a general sports magazine. They have always covered the Big Four sports and have recently bowed to the mounting popularity of NASCAR. In addition to professional sports, they cover college football and college basketball. Because it...

Pros: Statistics, features, great photography, solid graphics and in-depth coverage
Cons: They seem to miss some of the "big name" interviews that Sports Illustrated gets regularly

From what I remember of The Sporting News, it used to be printed in a tabloid newspaper format and contained just about everything you'd every possibly want to know about baseball. Indeed, it was the baseball reference and was available ...

Pros: good feature articles, excellent coverage of major sports, inexpensive subscription, light on advertising
Cons: paper not too good

Of all the magazines I receive, probably the one I enjoy the most (and which stands the best chance at getting renewed) is Sporting News. I've been a baseball fan since I was about seven, and have since picked up on football and more recently ...

Pros: Some good NFL draft coverage, March Madness
Cons: Poor articles, Photos

Remember those commercials from the mid 1990's that said "I wish I was a Toyota Corolla?" They were a bit annoying, and always seemed to be on every television and radio. While they might have wanted to make you chew on your teeth, this commercial ...

Pros: In depth team coverage
Cons: barely any women's sports coverage

When I ordered a year's subscription of The Sporting News, I had no intention of ever turning the pages. This was a magazine for my husband, not for this Cosmo gal.

When the subscription began arriving in our mailbox, my husband was...

Pros: Excellent information and articles
Cons: Hard to keep up with on a weekly basis

The Sporting News (TSN) was often referred to as the Baseball Bible back in the days in which it published every boxscore of major league baseball games. Its lineage traces back to 1886, when the publishers decided the average baseball fan needed a...

Pros: Good coverage during the season
Cons: Weekly is too often to keep up with, but that's just me

I have been a baseball fan since the "Big Red Machine" days. I saw Ken Griffey Sr. play there, and even though us Mariner fans will miss Junior, I think its neat that he went back where his dad played. When baseball season started last year I...

Pros: Decent subscription price; timely.
Cons: Boring; unattractive; opinions presented as fact; expensive at newsstand.

TSN is an excellent example of how NOT to cover sports. Imagine if PBS or BBC covered American sports and then imagine it without the entertainment. Yes, TSN is just that bland. I have no idea who their target audience is. Maybe it's sportswriters who ...

Pros: Organized and predictable layout. You know where to look, what to expect.
Cons: Tend to favor certain regions and teams. Lack of good feature writing.

I am in the middle of a gift subscription to The Sporting News. Not being too familiar with the magazine before, other than the name, I was not sure what to expect. Even though it makes great reading for passing the time away in the bathroom or during...

Pros: Reports from every team in every major sport
Cons: By the time you receive it, stats are nearly a week old

Live away from your favorite team? This is the only magazine for you. Sporting News was my first sports magazine. I still think it's just as meaty as I did when I first read it way back in Junior High School, but the way I use it has changed. Used to be,...

Pros: Good for starting fires
Cons: Still in publication

The Sporting News really gets on my nerves. It's one of those things that's just been bugging me for years and years, and my useless shrink is no help whatsoever.

First of all, could these guys be any more smug? They go on and on about how...

Pros: in-depth preseason looks at the 4 major pro sports, NCAA basketball and football
Cons: misses the mark on in-season NHL and NBA

I originally started my subscription to The Sporting News(TSN) through a family member. I did subscribe to Sport Magazine at one time, but my subscription ran out and somehow I did not renew it. So I thought this would be a good chance to get a sports...

Pros: Great source for sporting news.
Cons: They call you and ask you to add to your subcription too much.

I purchased my subcription to the sporting news because i was called by one of thier representatives when i decided to not resubscribe to ESPN magazine. I had no idea how The Sporting News knew this information about me. And to put it quite frankly, it...
