    ...ESPN always did suck, and still does...but they actually want people to pay for "Insider"...why should I pay for info I can get for free?

    ...lemme guess, so I'll have the privilege of listening and/or reading drivel from hacks like Wallace Mathews, Andrew Marchand, and Skip fucking Bayless, et al?



    ...lol...I don't think so.

    I have out grown their immaturity, stupidity, and
    greed..........Their "insider" information is such a
    scam. Only the immature, stupid, greedy people
    subscribe to it. They can have it!

    It's so outdated I can't believe they still have a paid subscription service. More over I can't believe there's actually people who pay for it.

    ...from what I've been able to figure out, many of the people who pay for this "service", are fantasy league people.

    For some real odd reason, I began to get ESPN or (BSPN) for close to 4 years now, and have not once paid a single dime for it. Not one cent. On top of that, the first year I got two of each issue for a solid year, even after calling several times, to stop sending 2. After several calls to stop getting 2 issues, and a year later, that was fixed, yet I still get it for not a cent. No one is buying it for me neither, to my knowledge....

    Goes to show how fkd up BSPN is, & I'm going on my 4th year of Free rag, some issues are actually pretty well written, yet its more like ONLY - 2 or 3 times/issues a year; in which the rag addresses key issues. Like their Cuban Invasion Issue 2 years ago, a great read, as was Mo' last cover issue a lifetime keeper, and so is Jeter's Farewell Cover Issue...., and that's about the extent of it, a couple of issues a year....

    However over these years, I've tried to get "insider", which I'm entitled to for nothing, since I get a subscription, after all (but don't pay for it). Perhaps some ding dong in customer service figured out I don't pay for the rag; since I've tried numerous times over a couple of years; to get into "Insider" with my account number; to no avail, and I give up....

    Like the Phantom "No Pay" issues, I can't for the life of me, get "insider", and don't care if I do get either the rag or the I-Net site. That's alright, I'm not missing anything, and the magazine is not often worth reading or keeping, less those couple of issues.

    I'm saavy to its contents enough to know if the issue is instant Fire fodder (without reading anything other than the Table of Contents), or a keeper. The aforementioned is normally the case....

    ...why would I want the "Mag"?...it's simply a printed version of the garbage taken from their cable network and their web site.
