Interestingly enough, I don't know that I visit any of them with any regularity. Maybe espn by way of espndallas? I don't even go to PFT like I used to.

The most shocking one on the list is Bleacher Report. Who knew? * shrug*

Bleacher Report is a surprise, but I guess when you let anyone be a "writer", you will get a lot of visits. Their ad revenue must be through the roof.

A little tidbit: Finocchio is a slang term for homosexual in Italian

It's that, plus they specialize in click-bait slideshows to get their counts up.

Except for the league sites, there are no single-sport-specific sites on here (not too surprising). So most of my go-to sites (CZ, FO, Baseball Prospectus, FanGraphs) don't stand a chance. Among general sites, I visit Sports on Earth and Grantland more than SI or ******** (of course, neither Grantland nor ******** are purely sports sites).

Surprised MLB.com is that high. Can't believe NHL.com is even on the list.

#12 is the only one I visit with regularity

I'm shocked also.

Yahoo for fantasy but other than that I just come here.

Bleacher Report is a surprise

I think the only reason Bleacher Report gets so many hits is because of it's affiliation with CNN.com. Anytime you click on a sports related link at CNN you are directed to Bleacher Report, or if you just click on SPORTS on their main banner it takes you straight to BR. Personally I try to avoid Bleacher Report whenever possible.

Me too, though I check NHL.com pretty much every day during the season as well.
