ESPN.com rushes to new traffic record

Football junkies are increasingly getting off the couch and logging onto the Web. LostRemote reports that on September 10th, ESPN.com set a new one-day traffic record with 95.3 million page views, and that "four of ESPN.com's 11 all time most-trafficked days have occurred since Sept. 2." The sports site's strong performance has pushed its parent Go network to the number 31 rank in Alexa's Global 500 rankings. "People who want national sports coverage will not watch local TV - they go to ESPN.com, and to a lesser extent, ESPN on TV," writes LostRemote. "The web now rules pro sports coverage, and it’s changing the game."
