Editorial Reviews:

Like the industry leader in sports television that created it, ESPN the Magazine is big, bold, and brash, using its oversize format to show off striking full-page images and splashy sidebars. It's not all flash, though: the magazine also gets contributions from familiar on-air talent such as Dan Patrick, Chris Berman, Stuart Scott, Peter Gammons, and John Clayton as well as the athletes themselves. The biweekly format doesn't allow for the minutiae that The Sporting News handles, so you'll get broader features--playoff previews, personality profiles, photo spreads--with an emphasis on basketball, football, baseball, hockey, and some extreme sports, though off-season coverage tends to be limited to a page or two. --David Horiuchi

Summary: A Review...You've got to be kidding!
Comment: I only just ordered this national magazine, ESPN, as a gift and the first issue hasn't even been delivered yet! Can't review something that hasn't even been received. Your request for a review is quite premature. Ordered ESPN in March as one of four magazine purchased for a young man (whom I do not personally know) who has been wrongfully incarcerated. Was told ESPN could not be delivered until May...so ok - about 5-6 weeks but the other three magazines couldn't be delivered until June! I recontacted Amazon and asked them to have the magazines delivered sooner and Amazon said they couldn't do anything about it...they said it was the "publishers who dictated the delivery schedules". They wouldn't even try to contact the publishers and ask that they make an exception and expedite delivery. Not real happy about it all. Nothing I can do about it and the person to whom I gifted these magazines no other form of communications except letters and a newspaper...so he waits for his magazines...a long time.

Summary: Yechh.
Comment: I subscribed to ESPN the Magazine because I had heard that Rick Reilly would be appearing in its pages. That, at one point I thought, would have been enough. Not now. Even Rick Reilly could not save this mess. It's like what if instead of being a brilliant novelist William Faulkner had been a wretched sportswriter. Bits and fragments scattered here and there, graphics upon graphics and not a bit of substance or content in sight. Run, don't walk from ESPN the Magazine.
The bizarre thing to me is the choice they made with this magazine. I'm obviously not their target audience. I'm too old. However, I think there is probably a niche for a sort of Esquire done through the lens of sports - that is what I would have thought ESPN the Magazine could be. And this monumental waste of paper could be ESPN2 The Magazine.
