I Just Can't With The ESPN App

Though I cannot stand the network itself, for so...MANY reasons, I still use the ESPN app to just get generic(yet important) sports news or to follow a gamecast for a game not televised. But it seems lately, ESPN can't even get the basics right anymore. Ads all over, streams/vids not even loading and shoving Stephen A Smith's ugly fucking mug in my face for seemingly every single topic under the sun. Who wants to hear that dipshit's take on anything, let alone EVERYTHING?

So what do you guys use for sports consumption, that is also free? I watch and at least follow most big time American leagues but am willing to sacrifice reach so long as its for an app/site that does it well.

Cheers. ✌️
