Makes sense, they consistently have the best analysis and coverage.

The comScore numbers are out, and Yahoo! Sports is the clear online sports leader with more than 24.8 million unique users in February 2009. The strong numbers are even more significant because Yahoo! Sports experienced a 29% year-over-year increase in unique users, compared with average growth of only 2% by others in the category. To be clear, Yahoo! Sports is blowing the competition away:
February 2008 Unique Users
* Yahoo! Sports 24,762 (up 29%)
* ESPN 17,119 (down 4%)
* Fox Sports 14,255 (down 18%)
* AOL 10,040 (down 14%)
comScore March 2009
In addition to scoring the largest sports audience on the Internet, Yahoo! Sports beat its closest competitor, ESPN, by nearly 8 million users. For the last 11 months the site has been firmly in the #1 spot on the Web, and in August 2008 Yahoo! Sports scorched its competition with its 38 million users, largely because of Yahoo!'s gold medal performance with the Summer Olympic Games. Now legions of sports fans are starting their online sports experience with Yahoo! Sports, and the site continues to successfully give sports fans the best fantasy games, award-winning editorial content, an active blogging community, and compelling video – a winning combination.
