ESPN The Magazine is a bi-weekly sports magazine published by the ESPN sports network. The first issue was published on March 11, 1998. One aspect of ESPN The Magazine that differentiates it from its primary competitors, Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News, is the often humorous nature of its articles. In addition, the magazine often writes about athletes whose reputations have suffered as a result of off-field incidents. Another popular theme is an athlete rising above his or her surroundings to make a comeback to professional sports. Image File history File links ESPN_the_Magazine. ...
