Page 2

Page 2 is a feature section of ESPN.com. The section contains humorous, opinionated articles on American sport, and regular contributors including "The Sports Guy" Bill Simmons, DJ Gallo, Jim Caple, Gregg Easterbrook, Jemele Hill, and LZ Granderson. Chuck Klosterman also supplies occasional articles. Before their deaths, Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Wiley had Page 2 columns.

Often, the Page 2 columnists will criticize other ESPN workers. For example, Jason Whitlock criticized an article by Scoop Jackson in which Jackson claimed his job was harder to get than starting in the NBA for a black male. Whitlock insulted Jackson and said it was Scoop's attempt to brag about his own mediocre work. Simmons is known not to like TV host Stephen A. Smith, who has attacked Simmons's work in the past; Simmons also attacks Bill Laimbeer and the ESPN NFL crew as well. Finally, almost every article writer has taken a shot at former columnist Skip Bayless for being an over-the-top contrarian and a poor writer.

Page 2 regularly features such items as "Here's Looking at You" - a photographic comparison of two figures, Top 10 lists ranging from "weirdest game endings" to "best rookies ever", and "What the Heck Were They Thinking?" which allows readers to vote for most likely "thoughts" of sports figures in recent situations.

Page 2 often holds tournaments, such as the Best Uniform Tournament, Hottest Female/Male Athlete poll, and the Page 2 Invitation Tournament, where readers vote for various athletes and celebrities. In 2003, ESPN.com launched Page 3 to focus more on entertainment than sporting news, although the section finished producing new articles in 2005.
