My once go to source for easy (keyword EASY) access to Pats info has been just ruined by the network. Amazing they could take the first redo from months ago and screw it up more than it had been. They mix in so much junk from other teams/sports you can't even track down the latest from crack reporter Mike Reiss without scrolling a bunch of unwanted headlines. Do a foolish thing like click on one of Mike's entries and the next set of headlines to choose from have NO relation to the Pats blog at all. Stunning incompetence.
I said at the time of the first awful redo of the site that the folks responsible had worked over a site they apparently never visited. Now I'm convinced of the fact. ESPN extended their misguided style change to their main site which also now as jumbled and difficult to navigate as the ESPNBoston site has become. I know it's easy to wish ill on the network as they clearly have a bias against the Pats. Regardless, ESPNBoston, when the Pats blog was just Reiss and Field Yates (and Rodak before him) was tight and focused and on the money. Click on the Pats blog now and a Mississippi State v. Auburn preview is as likely to pop up as an actual Pats note. You could hardly find the inactive list two weeks ago. Previously, it was exactly the kind of thing I'd always go right to ESPNBoston to quickly find out. Now, I reluctantly look elsewhere. What a shame, because no one has stepped up to fill in the messy vacuum ESPN has created.
