Summary: Overall, The Sporting News gives an extensive outlook for a wide range of owners. It has one of the best player detail sections and includes a very nice IDP section. Its NFL Info Section has a few solid points, but lacks in its information. But if you are looking for an overall solid magazine, The Sporting News is for you.
Positives: Sporting News has a great mock draft, and was one of the few magazines to feature a big IDP section.
Negatives: There was no stats section, however, and no expert rankings to speak of.
