ESPN Magazine Subscription

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: 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: Large, slick and colorful
Cons: Shallow, immature journalism; poor design

"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 Red...

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: Big, large pictures, great short articles.
Cons: Ink rubs off on fingers real easy, takes forever to process subscription order.

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 would...

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: 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: Pretty pictures
Cons: everything else

My brother in law knows I am a sports fan, so last Christmas he bought me a subscription to ESPN the magazine. Hard to go wrong there huh? Men love sports and reading about them so that was a safe gift. Well....WRONG! This magazine is so poorly...

Pros: An edge that occasionally works; nice photos and some articles
Cons: Inferior to Sports Illustrated in most ways that count; oversized format is especially irksome

Let's get something straight right off the bat, so to speak: I love sports. I watch some combination of ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNews virtually every day. I read the sports section on the way to work. I have sports headlines selected on My Yahoo!, and I...

Pros: Great Writing, Interesting Facts & Figures, Awesome Photographs, Reasonable Cost
Cons: Lots of advertisements!

As in life, times change! In the sports magazine world times have certainly changed, ESPN the Magazine has made a HUGE dent in the market share that Sports Illustrated has had for decades. I have been a subscriber to ESPN the Magazine for over a year...

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

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: Photography
Cons: Insipid writing, self-serving interviews

I received a subscription to ESPN the magazine while doing a fundraiser with my basketball team last year. I thought "what the heck its free". Well thank goodness it was or I would have been even more upset. This magazine is so shallow it...

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: good pics, in depth articles, and hey, a free hat!!
Cons: too cutesy

If you're a fan of the ESPN network, you should enjoy this magazine. The discounted price, is something that speaks to the wallet, to be sure. "The Magazine" features a number of articles by some of the best sports authorities in the...
