It’s hard to think of something to write about espnW. There’s just so much that ranges from vaguely troubling to outright wrong about the site, and I don’t want to mess up by missing something important. Fortunately, Julie DiCaro pretty much nails most of my concerns, so please read her take on the issue. Julie …

Storm…Chasers. Yes, we are that.
