But not for their TV coverage, I use ESPN.com to find scores and stats, and I like their Fantasy Baseball set up.

I also go to www.realclearports.com for a run down in national sports stories.

The little “notes and quotes” and “inside pitch,” for baseball and “getting inside” columns for basketball usually have some nice little facts that are updated daily for your favorite team.

I still read the morning Mercury News, even though their coverage is somewhat Gnats-centered (and in football season, 49ers-centered). On line, I typically check SI.com (mainly I love to get pissed off at Jon Heyman, and the lack of A’s coverage), and sites like Fangraphs.com and BaseballReference.com. I’ll watch SportsCenter until I’ve had enough, which is usually after no more than 10 minutes, and BBTN, even though I have fantasies about tossing a grenade into their studio (I’m a nice guy, so it would be a non-lethal flash-bang type).

Seriously, other than A’s baseball, I don’t really give a crap.

If I am am looking for info I use Yahoo Sports. Otherwise I listen to KNBR during my commute.

I used to watch Dave Lloyd and Jim Crandall on FOX 40 in Sacramento (“Dare Dave” then went to ESPN). I always used to read the full sports section of the Sacramento Bee when I lived there. Now that I’m in Utah, I can’t find a good sports section; they only care about high school football and the A’s scores apparently come in too late (give me a break).

Today, it just depends on what I’m looking for. When I want to check scores I check the official sites (mlb.com, nhl.com, nba.com, etc.). I really on RSS feeds for most news about my teams.

AN is really the only site I check on a regular basis.

Trib. I float around the rest of SBN, silver and black pride, and GSOM. I occasiponally listen to KNBR, and can’t stand the Rise Guys with FP. ESPN.com, CBS Sportsline, Foxsports. I will generally hit almost every sports related website, once in a day.

I still like getting news from a newspaper, but it’s not my primary source of information. I use AN for A’s news, turn on ESPN for Cowboys news, ESPNNEWS to catch up on scores and big national stories, and the paper to read about the teams wherever I am. I like to have something to pick up and read and that seems to be a dying/dead trend among my demographic (I’m 21).

Just a couple questions, I’ve been pondering:
How many people have a newspaper subscription?
How many people still like reading a feature-length story, or do you only have the time/desire to know the 5 W’s?

Interestingly, when I post a story to AN, it also populates my feed on FriendFeed. (If you’re unfamiliar with FriendFeed, consider it a place that aggregates all your online activity in one place, with comment.)

There are A TON of comments there on how they get their sports news.

Check it out:

RSS feed on my iGoogle page
Live bookmark with ESPN.com MLB news, though I rarely click on anything unless it’s A’s related – and there isnt much.
AN
MLB.com for live games, or just to check scores
Sportscenter if I want to get angry (although at around 3 am, they have an upcoming story ticker on the side, so I can just mute most of the show and wait for the A’s “coverage”)
Baseball Tonight if I want to get angry
Skysports.com alot (mostly for soccer) – also have a live bookmark for that one
CCT if I want to get angry (I would read the newspaper more if they had more A’s coverage)

...so I have no desire to immerse myself in sports coverage.

I pick my news sources inasmuch as they support my fascination with the daily drama of my team. So that basically means AN, although I’m usually too intimidated to post, since I don’t have fluent command of stats at the tips of my fingers. Maybe some sfgate.com to supplement, but that’s about it.

I get my A’s news by watching the games. ahem

Obviously, I’m not thrilled with EPSN/BBTN. I seethed once again last night as Eveland’s commanding complete game was totally ignored. I watch BBTN only while I’m waiting for something else to start. I figure it supplements my baseball knowledge just enough that I’m not completely ignorant. I can appreciate a beautiful swing, curve or catch and this is the most succinct way to stay current.

My only exception to the EPSN rule is Pardon the Interruption. My boyfriend, a 365-day-a-year sports fan, TiVos it and I admit to enjoying it. Maybe I’m just ADD.

(OTOH, the fact that he likes to sleep with KNBR in the background may be grounds for going for Lucy/Ricky sleeping arrangements.)

I do like reading baseball books like Baseball Between the Numbers, etc since it’s actual analysis. I feel it makes me a much better baseball fan than hearing some guy ranting on the teevee.

...out of market fans are at a disadvantage. And in the Belly of the Beast, it must be unbearable. Ugh. I can barely tolerate co-worker BoSox fans, even if I grudgingly give them credit for not being Come-Latelys.

I always did wonder what’d happen if I walked into Fenway wearing Green and Gold… :)

Front page scan, sports section, then entertainment/comics in that order (so sue me, I was a teenager). Once I moved out I didn’t want to pay for internet access AND the paper when I can get the same info on the web only. I actually prefer to read info on real paper but it’s not worth the money or hassle (I live on the top floor of the building and they only leave the papers in the lobby). Plus you obviously get your news faster on TV and the Web.

I try to watch SC or FSN final score at night but usually the wife complains so I try to catch it in the morning before work. I like watching BBT but there is one announcer that bugs the crap out of me. He uses the same lame catch-phrases every night. “Fill thine horn with oil and go!” barf, “when we come back it’s time for the leather and the diving and the thing” (in that annoying voice).

I check oaklandathletics.com, AN, nintendowiifanboy.com, and yahoo.com everyday. Sometimes when I bored I go to ESPN.com or some other video game sites.

for news mostly nytimes and new republic
sports is usually AN, yahoo sports (cause my fantasy is there, but they do a pretty good job of aggregating stuff), i don’t really read game wraps too often cause i watch or listen to pretty much every A’s game and i only really care about the score of others. I’ll check out FJM pretty often, and other blogs when they’re mentioned among my friends or on AN

Way cool.

Louis Gray asks: Where Do You Get Most of Your Sports News?
http://ultimatefootballnetwork.net/?p=7

Like many others here, I have little interest in sports beyond the A’s. If I want to check the standings or a specific box score/recap, I’ll go to the ESPN scoreboard page. (Similar standings pages may be just as good, but that’s the one I happen to have bookmarked.)

I used to check Rotoworld regularly for A’s-related stuff, but now that that’s on AN I don’t need to go direct. I used to read A’s stories on the mlb.com site, but I haven’t done that for about a year and a half.

I never seek sports news from TV or print sources. I do sometimes read stories online, usually A’s related stories. For that, I now almost always get there by following a link somewhere on AN, usually either Rotoworld or someone’s comment in the DLD.

have no idea! In my day we used to walk down to the telegraph office where the lad who lived under the counter would write the latest scores on the message board with a grease pencil!

St. Vitus dance visits to ESPN tv, and Yahoo Sports, and SF Chronicle from AN link.

Then AN, SF Gate or Chron, A’s website, and TSN.Com. I also read the paper for local sports in Oregon. Great question. ESPN is a hard habit to break. I also like the highlights. Go A’s! I’m going to be away for the weekend with two obnoxious Red Sux fans, so I hope we kick their butts!

about Ryan Sweeney. He seems really likeable.

AN for great opinion/analysis on the A’s. Or sfgate.com and oaklandathletics.com for news/press releases.

tsn.ca for a nice hockey fix, as well as foxsports.net for some hockey news (Spector) or for entertaining “expert” MLB analysis.

MLBtraderumors.com for general baseball happenings.
hardballtimes for some cool different perspectives.

Surprisingly, the LA Kings have a great inside correspondent Rich Hammond who posts a lot of great bulletins via myspace.com that I like to check out.

On TV I watch ESPNnews or BBTN on mute until I see something that interests me.

I don’t have a newspaper subscription, nor the time to read it unless I’m….n/m

I need to check out FJM I’ve always been meaning to just haven’t.

But yeah, mainly Yahoo, AN, oaklandathletics.com

I am a member of “Digg”..
I think…
I’m not sure what’s happening with it, except I posted a link, er …hit a button, and someone “digg”ed it, and told me so by e-mail.

Shows you how out of it a lot of us are (my speculation here) because I spend a lot of hours on the internet, yet mostly I have no intuitive feel for most everything developed, app-wise in the last six years on the internet. As this comment notes “Digg” must be so ubiquitous, that “Digg-like” is an efficient way to describe something to the general internet user.

I think that I’m “LinkedIn” but not sure ‘cause I never check it, and I think I have a couple of visitable photo sites, but I don’t post photos there and I don’t tell people to look there for pictures. The cause of this is the loss of passwords when the inevitable crash (hardware? software?) leaves me unable to check my legacy “stuff”. The weirdest thing, is that everyone tells me bookmarks are “unrecoverable” to a new browser…”I’m sorry, I cannot copy those to your new hard drive..!” ??!!!
