    I like it. It was a long time coming, their old website was what, 7 years old? That's an eternity and times have changed.

    I like it, but I need a night option. I hate websites with way too much whitespace

    Everybody always hates a redesign. They'll b**** and moan for a while and then they'll get used to it and go about their normal business as usual.

    Layout is a mess.

    Seems very disorganized.

    It's decent.

    It sure as hell is better than the recent horrible redesigns for CNN and NBC News's websites.

    It looks cleaner in terms of aesthetics. I guess my complaints mainly have to do with not being used to this. So I guess I like it.

    Don't mind it at all.

    I wish they would redesign the gamecast so I can see more stats like steals and blocks and stuff. It irks me not to be able to see these.

    I like the design. A lot of information on one page so don't have to click anywhere.

    Few are worse than the Sports Illustrated website. Ugh, now that's one that they made a horrible decision to switch to.

    ESPN has a pretty nice design, but it is pretty slow and frustrating. I thought it was an april fools joke but maybe it isn't.

    I agree with this. I don't visit the site anymore. It's unreadable.

    It looks okay on the phone.

    Not liking it on desktop.

    I'm missing the old design already.

    P.S.

    I like modern things, but not this time.

    It's going to get better. It is a work in progress obviously. But they have some innovative ideas on that website now. They make twitter post look like news articles. They also have news/ now toggle which is good.

    The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the openness of news stories running together one against the other. While it helps you discover content, it is very disorientating.
