In a recent survey from Harris Sports Interactive, more than 5,500 people who actively visit sports sites ranked their favorite sites.

In those same age categories, runner-up SportsLine.com earned 1% and 3% of the votes, respectively.

In the sports category, the study found that ESPN.com generated more than 161 million gross usage minutes, according to January Media Metrix numbers, by far the leader among television-branded sports sites. The 161 million minutes were 326% greater than that of ESPN.com's nearest Internet sports competitor, SportsLine.com, which accumulated 49 million gross usage minutes.
