    I know most people hate ESPN writers opinions on basketball anyway but now the chat wraps are insider access only!! :mad: :mad:

    I at least liked Jack Ramsey's opinions

    Do you really think Chad Ford's articles were enough to carry the service? they probably lose subscribers by the day.

    Everything on that site is becoming insider. Soon you'll have to pay just to access ESPN. Money hungry mogules!!

    I'm officially switching to CNNsi

    You have to pay for nearly everything now. I remember you could get some basic fantasy basketball info and player ratings for free, but now all fantasy stuff has to be payed for.

    I noticed the chats were "Insider" right around the time of the baseball playoffs. ESPN will do whatever they can for a buck. It's a shame they got rid of the college team log in names.

    yeah, my 3-year-old had to join DisneyInsider just to check out RoliePoliOlie (not an Oliver Miller reset)

    I have (free) insider access, so if the mods don't care, just ask me for an article and I'll post it for you.

    Also - I noticed that column archives are also becoming insider only. You used to go retro reading Bill Simmons a few years back. Now you can only read his stuff from the previous two months.
