Get ready for that ESPN.com overhaul! Supposedly, the website will be much easier to use. The masses have been calling for this for at least two years, so it’s good to know that ESPN’s actually listening. (Broadcasting and Cable)

Reilly on Simmons: “I’m not doing more than 800 words, I’m not from Boston, I don’t write a lot about the NBA. I’m more likely to tell a story that has a beginning, a middle and an end.
