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: 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: Size, Price, Information, Easy to read Cons: Bi-weekly rather than weekly
ESPN the Magazine's grand entrance into the world of sports magazines has left me with the opinion that nobody can do it like ESPN does. They show their originality by featuring an extra-large sized magazine which makes it much easier to read all the...

Pros: Broad Coverage - Great Photography Cons: Too much NBA
As a long time Sports Illustrated reader, I had my doubts about ESPN the magazine when it first debuted. They started out with some garish cover of Kevin Garnett (one of my least favorite basketball players) and an odd size.
For whatever...

Pros: very funny and informative, great articles, excellent visual photography, easy to read Cons: you won't find every minute statistical detail on all teams, some advertising
This guaranteed is guaranteed to not only keep you informed on the latest news in the world, but it's guaranteed to make you laugh. Reading this ESPN the magazine puts some joy back in sports, just like it was in the days before salaries escalated, and...

Pros: great photos and a free fleece! Cons: humor and style of writing not for everyone
I bought a subscription for ESPN The Magazine because I like SportsCenter style humor and serious coverage of sports. OK, the fleece swayed my decision a little bit, but not entirely. :) By the way, the fleece is thin but nice and warm -- make...

Pros: Good pictures Cons: Few scores and previous game stats
I am sure that very few people are actually going to take the time to say they dislike a magazine. But I find myself turned off by the relatively new ESPN the magazine. While the television station is a staple of life the magazine can't even grace the...

Pros: You can swat flies with it. Cons: A tree died for it.
Tsomes made a wonderful post about the ESPN magazine titled "ESPN the Flop," and this is a post to support every word he said.
To start off with, I’ll tell you what I don’t like about the magazine’s current issue, and then move into...

Pros: Great trivia filled insightful stories; Dan Patrick interviews, price Cons: dont cover games, matchups with too much detail
There's something to be said about the total sports freak. Immersed in all sports, all of the time. While flipping through sports of the tube, spending all day on the internet searching stats or boasting their teams performance on chat rooms; with the...

Pros: Humorous, well-written, and deep articles Cons: Jordan-philes, all of 'em
ESPN the Magazine is probably the best sports magazine I've read. Not only do you get all the dry humor of the Sportscenter crew, but you get in-depth features about more sports personalities than you may have thought existed.
ESPN is not a...

Pros: Tons of Info, Very Funny Cons: Not for everyone
Many people are divided over whether ESPN: The Magazine is good or not. Well, personally, I think it is great. It is not as organized or polished as Sports Illustrated, but that is the way I like it. This magazine has information everywhere on the...

Pros: Great Fresh athlete profiles Cons: only one or two "main" articles
Although ESPN the Magazine doesn’t have the on-air wise cracks of the sportscenter anchors, nor does it have the wacky and funny sportscenter commercials, overall the magazine is a fresh comprehensive guide to the wide world of sports. Were as another...

Pros: humor, packed with articles Cons: The big book annoys me, only once a month
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 cheek...

Pros: Cheaper than SI Cons: You get what you pay for
I ordered ESPN magazine as a gift for my husband. He's a huge Sports Illustrated fan and looks forward to each week's issue. I thought this would be a great addition since he loves sports and he loves ESPN.
I am sitting here with this month's...

Pros: explosive photos and great in-depth articles Cons: absolutely nothing...this is what I've been waiting for in a magazine
I just recently subscribed to ESPN the Magazine and I think that it is one of the best decisions I've ever made regarding magazine subscriptions.
Who needs any other sport's magazine when ESPN the Magazine is available? Certainly not me. Sports...
