ESPN Magazine Subscription

Pros: Informative and entertaining
Cons: Takes a long time to read!

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 have ...

Pros: Insider online articles included, nice pictures, good articles, funny
Cons: Too many ads, comedy may not be appreciated,

I'll start by saying ESPN the Magazine is one of the best sports magazines to those who appreciate a wide variety of sports. Meaning, if you only watch the NBA and not the MLB, NFL, etc., you should subscribe to an NBA specific magazine (such as Slam for ...

Pros: Price, Football Draft
Cons: Baseball articles, basketball, croquet, bowling

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 1970's, ...

Pros: some good stories
Cons: saturated with advertisement

First of all. I will deal with the price of ESPN The Magazine. The cover price is $3.99 a copy which is a bit hefty. However, there is always a special on a subscription to this magazine. I see it advertised on television and the internet for $1...

Pros: A glitzy and fast paced BIG magazine aimed at twinks.
Cons: Not exactly deathless prose. Saturated with ads.

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,...

Pros: Beautiful Photography, Excellent host of authors
Cons: Writers aren't allowed to live up to their potential!

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 in...

Pros: Entertaining articles, large magazine for the larger-than-life sports stars.
Cons: Too many advertisements inside.

This is a review of the best sports magazine out there. If you enjoy "SportsCenter" on ESPN then you'll love this magazine. Basically, that is what it feels like when reading the various entertaining articles inside. This is for the serious sports...

Pros: BIG Color Pictures.. Humorous Columns. In-depth Stories.
Cons: Sporting News has more info. SI has wider variety of coverage.

There was a time when I frequently read Sports Illustrated. I never subscribed, but I would get just about every issue at the newsstand. Every once in a while, I would pick up a Sporting News or other sports publication for varieties sake. Then I...

Pros: great small articles and features
Cons: lacks the great reads of SI, too many ads

The title presents an age old question. However, it is not ESPN's unusual dimensions that catches the eye of readers but its bold predictions, articles, and analysis. I love sections like THE LIFE that take you closer to your favorite athletes.
...

Pros: Similar in style to ESPN's main programs; interesting photographs; to-the-point articles
Cons: Dimensions of the magazine are larger than those of normal-sized magazines.

As a sports fan, I get my fix by reading the sports section of the newspaper before moving to the biased sections between the front page and the classifieds. Sometimes I listen to sports talk radio. During my web surfing I have to get my sports updates...

Pros: PICTURES
Cons: FULL OF FLUFF

I HAVE LOOKED AT THIS MAGAZINE A FEW TIMES AND HAVE STOPPED READING IT ALTOGETHER. I WOULD NEVER BUY THIS AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO IT. THERE IS NOTHING IN HERE BUT PERSONAL STORIES AND PICTURES. YOU WOULD THINK WITH ESPN AS THE TITLE THAT...

Pros: Stories about nothing but sports
Cons: bad journalism, boring stories, altogether a bad magazine

When i first subscribed to this magazine, i thought(as many other subscribers think) ESPN. This is THE total sports network. Anything about sports, from billiards to football, ESPN has it. So, the magazine would probably be a good magazine to read...

Pros: The magazine has a professional look, and humorously covers many sports topics.
Cons: Unfortunately, many articles are weakly written, and leave a yearning for better coverage.

Last summer, I recieved a phone call in the middle of the afternoon from a sales representative for ESPN the Magazine, informing me that their subscriptions were down in my area and asking if I would like a free year's worth of issues. Being a sports...

Pros: Decent photography, Slick, glossy look
Cons: Immature and unprofessional writing, Cluttered layout, Quite bulky, WAY too much advertisement

Allow me to first say that I am a HUGE sports enthusiast. I subscribe to three different sports magazines (including this one), listen to at least two hours of sports talk radio a day, and never miss the news of the day on Fox Sports Net. I have never...

Pros: Gives sports a different twist; interesting photos; doesn't report, but instead looks ahead.
Cons: Glorifies the thugs of the sports world; must be up-to-date with your sports.

I was a charter subscriber to ESPN the Magazine when it first came out a few years ago. The format took a while to get used to, but once it became familiar, it got old... quick. After 3 years, I've finally let my subscription run out.
