What I will miss from ESPN.com

I embark on this quest with an understanding that there will be some things I will miss because I do not have access to ESPN services. For now, and for the next few weeks, the blog will concentrate on the Web, so what will I miss from ESPN.com?

ESPN employs a number of great writers and journalists, and some of their efforts are already missed.

Andy Katz: His coverage of the entire nation's college basketball stories has always been appreciated here.
Jay Bilas: His opinions and commentary on my favorite sport always has me nodding in agreement. His tweets about my other favorite college basketball analyst, Bill Raftery (another huge loss, and the subject of a blog post later, no doubt) have been hysterical.

Keith Law: Am I allowed to still visit his non-affiliated blog? I know very little about his specialty, the MLB draft and associated prospects, but his commentary always piques my interest, and his knowledge of food and board games is always welcome.
Buster Olney: He kind of already reports on what I am trying to do here; his comprehensive coverage of local baseball writers gives ESPN's baseball coverage a unique perspective.
Jayson Stark: Why do I find his style so entertaining to read (not to mention his appearances on ESPN Radio over the years)?

Bob Harig and Jason Sobel: It's nice to have some reliable voices to read about golf, even if way too much coverage of the sport revolves around Tiger Woods.

Greg Garber: He's written many solid pieces for ESPN, and it was nice to know his thoughts would be available to me when tennis matters (the majors, mostly, of course).

John Clayton: I pay very little attention to the NFL (as noted in my initial post), but for some reason, I like reading his work anyway.

Ted Miller: College football is a regional sport (three years living in SEC country taught me that), so I would naturally gravitate toward the West Coast writer, but his balance and understanding of the rest of the country helps put the Pac-10, or shall I say Pac-12, into a reasonable light.

I'm probably missing some people (the NBA writing team, the regional college basketball writers, to suggest a few), but these are the people whose insights and style I suspect will be hardest to replace as I start this experiment.
