    I've been using Yahoo! NBA pages for years and found it a great source of links to news about my teams. Today, I visit the Bulls' page and it's completely redesigned. The visuals are nice, but the content, especially links to popular Bulls blogs (Blog a Bull, Ball don't lie, etc.) are gone. And the news is about Pippen and Miley Cyrus. Nothing to see on the page anymore, other than the depth chart.

    Anyone like it?

    Does anyone ever feel bad for Denny when he tries (and fails) to get us interested in something that's not about the Blazers?

    Yahoo! has a Blazers section, too.

    ...so far I am not liking it! I haven't spent much time surfing around, but noticed the change when trying to go to the fantasy section. It was a great attempt, but they seem to have created more clicks for me -- it is supposed to be the other way around! But kudos to the new Yahoo! CEO for trying to mix things up.

    Was it? It seems like most web business models are designed to force us to 'click' as many times as possible, for added revenue for them. Like every 'top 10' list that forces you to go to a new page for each item. Or Bing.

    I'm afraid if I kicked myself in that Oden jersey, I would require MF.

    I've never been to Yahoo's NBA page actually. ESPN is my NBA home page.
