The drop down scores crash safari on my phone about 75% of the time. I'm not a fan.

RE: ESPN Website Redesign?
I literally used an ad blocker to remove the left column of "favorites" that was recommending teams I don't like at all. I'm not going to sign into ESPN. There's no need.

I have ALWAYS hated their video player. It was outdated when they first introduced it years ago. How do you update the website but keep that piece of junk? And the video BARELY even fits on the screen. You have to manually adjust the scroll bar just right to just barely fit the video in as to avoid chopping off the top or bottom of the video. There is danm near 2" of unusable space at the top of the screen (current scores, then the sports tabs below that, and then an additional tab below that for stats, scores, standings, etc that appears when you scroll down and try to adjust the video to actually fit in your screen.

I like the general look of the site. But these couple usability issues are stupid things that shouldn't have ever even been a problem in the first place.

I personally don't like the endless scroll, because who the heck is just going to scroll wanderingly through headline after headline after headline? Not me. But even though I won't be using it, it doesn't/won't affect my usage any.

All that said, I don't even go to ESPN much anymore. For one, they're headline whorez, and I'd rather not give them clicks/money for soap opera-tizing the sports industry. And secondly - and more importantly - it's so much easier to check scores on the Yahoo Sports app.
