Worth the monthly fee?
Seems to be pretty legit with a ton of information.

I got it when it was cheap. I don’t use it as much as I should but the coverage is solid.

I enjoy my sub. I'm from DFW and they hired up a lot of the good, local guys to cover the 4 major sports here. The CFB stuff is really good and I'm also a huge soccer fan(gay Aggie joke here), and they've got great coverage there as well. If I lived in a smaller market or only really followed 1-2 teams I'm not sure it'd be justified.

The coverage/content is great but ultimately I just didn’t use it enough to continue paying for it. A couple of things that impacted that were:
1. They got rid of their Auburn beat writer, Justin Ferguson, who is fantastic in a round of layoffs (presumably due to covid)
2. COVID meant half of my subscription had no sports to cover
Maybe in more normal times I’ll try it again someday.

I got a free year through T-Mobile. I don't use it as much as I should but when I do it's pretty good.

I've had it for a couple of years now and still enjoy it. Like others have said, it's nice being able to customize your feed. I really like the Saints writers. My only issue is Brody Miller, who is the LSU writer, is a bit of a turd and his schtick can get exhausting.

It’s a really good web site for hockey coverage so I’ve stuck with it through Covid times even though they got rid of some of my favorite writers. I’ve picked up some good golf betting tips from there as well. As someone who used to love Sports Illustrated, this is as good as it gets for modern times.

I used to but not anymore. Didn't use it much and cancelled.

You just reminded me to go cancel my subscription. It's good, but I just don't find myself reading their content very much anymore.

Got a year free through TMobile. Really enjoy the team specific coverage and widget on iPhone, but not sure if I would pay what it costs. If they offer another special for a couple bucks a month I’d say it’s worth it

I've had one since they launched. I'm a big fan of long-form articles and they have a ton of quality writers.

I feel I haven’t got the most out of it because I mainly use it for soccer (the soccer coverage is so far reaching and excellent) but I read Brody’s LSU stuff and Shams is obviously money for nba news
I’ve also found several good new podcasts to listen to through them

Had it for a year. It's nice but honestly I get more breaking news on here.
Has a lot of good deep analysis, but I learned I don't have time to read it.
