Sporting News Magazine

Not What I Expected
A review of Sporting News Magazine, December 1, 2009
Submitted by: samr46 from New York, NY

Probably a good magazine for hard core enthusiasts but a bit too much opinion and not enough facts.  Reads a bit like like a People magazine for sports.  I wanted coverage and analysis for my teams, recruiting classes, injuries, in depth analysis.  Instead, this has a lot of what former jocks think about various topics.  Who's the best lefthander today according to several former baseballers, etc.

Hard and fast info

I don't have time to read a 4 page article about a teams strengths, weaknesses, dreams, aspirations. Sporting news gives me the facts I need and will remember about a team, sport, individual without the fluff. I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR FLUFF.

The Former Baseball Bible

Unfortunately, this periodical has gone from being the baseball bible with a little about football and basketball to an attempt to say a little about everything. Not only are the football and basketball sections expanded while baseball has been reduced, but the journal has added extensive coverage of hockey and worse NASCAR. As an all-sports journal, its writers do not have the freedom to provide the quality articles that Sports Illustrated have. The correspondents must continue to have a lettle aobut all major professional teams and at least major conferences in NCAA Division I (while covering everything, why not add Divisions II and III and NAIA?). I continue to subscribe because it does offer good tidbits about all professinal teams in sports that interest me, but I no longer read it from cover to cover.

Great Magazine but arrives late

I enjoy this magazine for it's versatility but wish it arrived a few days sooner as it usually reports news that has already been covered (sometimes arriving with predictions about games that have already been played).

Solid Sports Magazine

The Sporting News is a top-notch source for sports information, inside scoops, and some really lively writing.  I read about 75% of each issue and find some nice tidbits contained in each one.   My only criticism is that it provides too much NASCAR information - of which I am not a big fan.  But, it is definitely worth the price of the subscription.
