Homepage is now an infinite stream of stories. Same stream appears on the left hand side of stories. Clearly this is so native ads can be inserted natively in stream. It's also now responsive and the stream carries stories not just from ESPN, but all from sister sites Grantland and FiveThirtyEight. Much easier to manage one code base that aggregates all stories regardless of where they originated.

So awesome to see this update, the old page especially the F1 section was looking a little dated. Great work everyone involved!

Interesting insights into the redesign thought process: https://medium.com/@ryanspoon/th... One eye-opening stat from the post: "61% of January’s 94 million users were mobile only… meaning that roughly 57 million fans only interacted with our products on a mobile device"

shouldn't the title be espn.go.com ;) - I'm kind of glad the vestigial portal subdomain survived! I love the scroll progress indicator on the story's left rail tile. Bloomberg's is nice too. Happy to see these patterns emerging, I hate what Apple has done with disappearing scrollbars.

@ryanspoon kudos to whoever was responsible for this icon: http://screencast.com/t/wBhCara0D. You've saved me about 20 right clicks > open in new tabs per day.

Going to use this as an opportunity to remind ALL site owners that if you're website isn't mobile friendly by April 21st, Google will be releasing an update that will likely lower your organic rankings. http://searchengineland.com/much... Test to see if your site passes here: https://www.google.com/webmaster...

ESPN is one of the most popular platforms to watch sports. I personally use it all the time for this purpose (I found ESPN+ on this list https://www.firesticktricks.com/...). It allows watching not only games but also reading hot sports news.

so glad this wasn't an April Fool's joke!

Looks fantastic. I'm on the site daily and this is a smart way to integrate all of the properties.
