ESPN Sports Poll: Where Do Go Online For Your Sports Info?

The ESPN Sports Poll, a service of TNS Sport, asks respondents age 12+ that have access to a personal computer (PC) if they ever use that PC to get sports information. Those respondents that do are asked how many hours per week they spend accessing sports information, and what sites they visit most often for sports information. The following are responses provided for '07 vs. '01 (ESPN Sports Poll).
