 Sportscenter on Paper: Colorful and fast but offers no depth August 27, 2008

I've subscribed to ESPN and The Sporting News for a couple years now. When my subscriptions end, I won't be renewing ESPN.
I want detailed sports information, in-depth stories and the kind of details I can't find in my morning copy of USA Today. Instead, ESPN delivers a Maxim-esque version of sports with lots of popular culture reference and clip art. And plenty of ads for gold jewelry, cell phones and men's body spray.
I used to complain more but I've come to realize the magazine is a reflection of SportsCenter -- a show that has devolved into a series of annoying euphemisms for home runs, slam dunks and touchdowns.
Bottom line: If you love SportsCenter, you'll love ESPN magazine. If not, look at the newly-redesigned The Sporting News or Sports Illustrated.

just like the TV, internet, and radio...so it can get repetitive if you watch SportsCenter everyday.
Better than Sports Illustrated. March 6, 2004

First off, ESPN The Magazine, is bi-weekly, so at least you wont be getting it every 3 or 4 days, like you would with SI. They're more flashier and thicker, and have better stories, and they have ESPN personalities and SportsCenter anchors, and it's just all around cool. They use a cool font for the text and everything's just cool. So you're probably wondering why I didnt give 5 stars? Well I really dont know. This review has probably turned to crap and might sound like I'm dumb. It's just, I guess sports really isnt my bag.
Disappointed with this magazine October 9, 2004

I subscribed to ESPN THE MAGAZINE for a year and did not renew. Subscription rates are low which makes the magazine attractive but I found a lack of substance. It is basically a couple of athlete interviews or profiles and then a lot of disjointed information thrown throughout the magazine.
It is flashy and colorful. Its not bad for the price but there are better. The writing is a little on the edgy side which doesnt appeal to me.It seems to be aimed at teens and young adults. I ended up not reading most issues I got or just glancing through them.
