Every time I go to the new ESPN website I get overwhelmed by the layout and leave.

Same. I don't want a [expletive] twitter feed. If I did, I'd go to twitter.

When they started auto playing videos that were only tangentially related to the article was reading, I gave up entirely

you're supposed to be able to turn that feature to off but it seems like every few days i have to re-apply that preference.

i'll throw it a bone and say i do think its runs faster/smoother but the twitter feed is annoying and i don't like how the articles run together (mlb is the same way). id rather go to a new page for each article. but perhaps thats old timey now

Figured there would be something about Britt McHenry here.

Ah, I see it's in the Asshat thread. My mistake.

The implication is clear, here: Floyd Mayweather makes us money, and we don’t give a damn what he does when he’s not in a Las Vegas boxing ring. (The commission regularly suspends fighters for testing positive for marijuana.)

Sadly, ESPN has elected to bury this episode in one of its lowest-performing time slots (around 350,000 viewers on a weekly basis), though it will air again on Sunday morning. The Stephen A. Smith “Behind The Scenes” 30-minute feature about Mayweather’s luxurious home and fancy cars will air six times. Two of those airings are in prime time, and one of them will be on a national ABC broadcast.

That's disgusting - I'm surprised no anti-domestic violence group has tried to sue the commission over this.

God. No [expletive]. I'm worried that there was some deep market research in the redesign though, and that we are in the minority and are going to see other sites move in the same direction.
