When it debuted on April 1st I thought it was a joke. Turns out I was right!

everything is slowly going to that format. no articles, lots of videos, on tile, scrolling downward.

HATE video reports. They suck.

Writers should write.

I just change sources when they go all video. haven't really used nfl.com in years since it went to a 90% video, 10% article format.

Hate the slideshow articles too that you have to scroll through images to read each part.

But, you know how writers write at an 8th grade level to get a broader audience? Video can reach even 1st grade level. More audience = more advertising money.

I still hate it though.

Thank you tablets and morons for ruining internet content. If I want to watch a video news report, I will turn on my TV. They all are going to this because it ads another place to sell advertising, which is the only reason any media outlet exists anyways.

...and have you noticed how much crap is now Insider?

Last week I was watching something on ESPN, and they go... and go to ESPN.COM to read the article for more information.

I was like crap, I hate when they do that stuff.

Then I go to it, and am like oh...INSIDER...figures. Now the $5 a month for ESPN on cable isn't enough.

Two straight presidential elections proved that a majority of Americans can't comprehend basic information. Literacy has strong ties to comprehension. What do you expect, especially from the bottom feeding scum that is ESPN?

Why stop at two? I'd say four at the least
