ESPN was like Han Solo, dipped in design carbonite for years, but today, easily one of the best designed websites around.

What I love:

• Clean card based design, easily transfers to mobile.
• Puts my teams first.
• First thing on the nav directs me to what’s going on right now.
• The NOW ticker gives rich, but quick hits and makes generous use of tweets and other immediate social media.

Some dislikes:

• Article page sidebar is too wide, and should be collapsable (maybe upon scroll.
• Nav and scores up top become a bit too much on article pages, should collapse upon scroll.
