Your new website format blows. Why the hell would I want a pop-out sidebar taking up a third of my screen and blocking the article that I JUST opened?! I haven't even read the first sentence of the fricking article so why the hell would I already want to look at related articles? Does SI.com's primary demographic literally have a 3-second attention span?

Get your shite together.

Sincerely,

Someone who doesn't have anything else better to complain about

Feel the same way about foxsports.com?

I've noticed a number of sites doing this kind of shite

some crap covering half the page, then a small slot with the stuff you want to read

I don't even go to SI or Fox Sports. Both website formats are terrible.

I frequently went to SI.com for its NCAAF coverage and some Soccer and NASCAR coverage. It's pretty unbearable now.

Only reason I go to FoxSports.com is because I am completely addicted to Stewart Mandel's Weekly Mailbag (Which was on SI.com until this season), and have been since its inception. I feel like my life is missing something if I haven't read it by Wednesday evening.

The design is optimized for mobile compatibility. I kinda like it.

FoxSports got Feldman, too. Getting him and Mandel was a real coup on SI/CBS.

The violence channel is my favorite channel...

Seriously the NBC and SI websites are the worst. Just too much shite on the screen

I've been reading Mandel for years. It was an easy move to never go back to SI.com

yahoo sports took a huge shite on their sports sites.

used to be easy, everything was right there. now it's like a puzzle.

Skysports also took a huge shite on their Sports site. They crammed everything into a few toolbars, then it's a maze to find the exact dealio.


Both had excellent interface and easy to use sites.
