I hate ESPN.com

I seriously hate the new format of ESPN.com. I used to be on the home page and be able to scroll to NFL and pick what I want like stats, scores, etc... Now if I want NFL for example, I have to actually open the NFL page to see those items. I know its not that hard, but noone likes change. If you are making changes, then make them easier, not more difficult.

The highlighted stories suck too now. You used be able to click on the category listed like MLB, and it showed one or two stories, now you have to scroll through all the stories to see if anything is of interest.

Maybe I just haven't figured the site out yet, but I really dislike the new format. Sorry that this is such a simpleton post, but I am wondering if anyone else feels the same. Or can you tell me what is great about the new format, so I feel better about it?

Gee, I kinda like it

I like the new format. In the article section near the top right hand side of the page, you can customize what stories you want to get. For example, I am a Cubs fan, so Cubs is one of the story options I have chosen. Also, there is an option to turn off (which I did) the annoying auto video player.

My wife asked me if I had signed up for the 401k yet. I told her I hadn't. She asked me why and I told her I couldn't run that far.

Yep

I agree, the ability to customize is awesome. I did that too. I didn't know I could turn that auto video player... Will have to do that. I guess I just don't like the homepage. The rest is fine.

I REALLY miss the drop downs on each sport.
