Anyone here on BBI a subscriber/reader of The Athletic? A buddy of mine loves the site and keeps telling me I'd love it too. He is a big Nashville Preds & SEC football follower though, so I don't know if the content is all that great for someone who doesn't follow those things. I'm really only interested in it if the Giants (and Lightning) content is worth it.
If you're a subscriber, would you recommend it?
I think its $60/year, which I am fine paying for good work.
Pony up all you cheap son's of bitches and make a donation
I wouldn't pay for it if you are only looking for Giants content.
Zero regrets. (or regerts).
Best sports site on the Internet.
I read BBI every day. Athletic like every other day. :)
they have an app for the phone and it's like they deliver the content to me they think I might be interested in and I read it.
I don't even have to think to check the site.

VERY glad I did. Can't read the regular coverage any more. Duggan is very good on the Giants and the coverage on hockey and the Rangers is exceptional. I also follow the Badgers with wonderful coverage.
Well worth it.
Yes they do. Good stuff. draft kits, rankings, sleepers, etc.
The site is great, awesome for hockey news, and everything.
I never got why people were so against 'paying.'
To me, it is the equivalent of a good magazine.
I haven't been on it in a couple of days though. If they have an article from Gary Myers I might have to rethink my subscription. j/k
I wish they just blocked Myers from being allowed to do anything Giants-related.
He's awful.
I love damn near everything about the Athletic. For me, the draft preview that they did for NFL and NHL was worth the subscription price alone. HOWEVER, having said that, they could ax Myers, Michael Lombardi and Vic Tafur in the next hour and I wouldnt miss any of them one bit.
