Fox Sports

http://msn.foxsports.com/

Intended Audience
The target audience of this website is anybody interested in sports or looking for up-to-date news for the major sports.

Usefulness of Content
This site contains much useful content for those trying to keep up with the sports world. It is particularly strong in the major sports in the United States, such as football, basketball, baseball, and even NASCAR racing. It also contains information for other sports such as tennis, soccer, golf, and several others, but has fewer updates on these sports. This site also has feature articles, videos, fantasy sports, blogs, and other interesting features.

Consistency of Design
This site is designed very consistently. It has the same layout and navigation for each section on the different sports, and article pages have the same design. This website does have some design issues though, as pages are somewhat cluttered, and are often too long.

Ease of Navigation
This site is easy to navigate overall. The navigation bar at the top of the page is consistent and has the sections on the major sports. It also has pull down menus that allow one to navigate to specific areas within the sports section such as scores, standings, schedule, teams, players, and others. However, these pull down menus are longer than most people will bother to look all the way through.
