ESPN rolled out it's first ever local ESPN.com website with ESPN Chicago. Typically, these national gone local websites are just a re-formatting of the national's web-page. For instance, we see Scoop Jackson and Gene Wojo on ESPN.com and we see them again on ESPN Chicago. Somehow I suspect that we will also see their same articles both on the national and local websites.
I hope this isn't just a reformatting site but an effort to redo or create a new local Chicago Sport's website. I certainly think there is a demand for a Chicago only sport's website with premier writing talent. I wouldn't mind an alternative to Tribune and Sun-Times Sports. The new ESPN Chicago seems to offer some new talent with new baseball blog reporters in Wayne Drehs and Jon Greenberg. That's a nice start. Full time Bears' and Bulls' blog reporters would also be nice.
It's too early to give a seal of approval on ESPN Chicago, but I hope they offer something new and original rather than a reworked Scoop Jackson article. Take a look yourself... here.
