These days, you can answer pretty much any question you have by the Internet. There are millions of websites out there that hold answers to millions of questions people have everyday. How warm is it going to be tomorrow? What was the score of the game last night? What is a good recipe for the casserole I want to cook this weekend? You can answer every one of these questions through some website out there. However, some websites are much more easy to navigate than others. Some are more reliable than others, as well. So the question is-which one should you use?
Choosing from the list given in "Consider the Source", I decided to navigate ESPN's site and see how long it would take me to find out what the Cowboy's schedule was this NFL season. As it turned out, I found the answer to this question in under a minute. Their site was very easy to navigate, as it consisted of tabs for each professional sport (MLB, NHL, NFL, etc). Under the NFL tab it held a link for each team's schedule, then I selected 'Dallas'. Within seconds I was able to find the answer to my question.
Another good thing about ESPN's website is that it is updated on a very regular basis, so it's relevance is great! It is timely, updated often, and on topic. The people who update the site must have a great knowledge about sports in general. The content of espn.go.com is outstanding, as it has scores, schedules, rosters, ranks, and numerous other statistics about almost any sport you can think of (professional and collegiate)! I was very pleased with how easy it was to find the answer to my question. I have also now downloaded an ESPN app on my Iphone that will provide alot of the information on the website through my phone.
If you are a sports fan, this site is a great one for you! With the NFL season approaching us quickly, I have posted the direct link for any of you that want to see your favorite team's schedule this season!
