Besides this site of course, my favorite site is probably ESPN.com. What makes me appreciate one site over another is really ease of use, presentation, and content. ESPN is very easy to use and find what one is looking for. In addition, I have read many different sports columnists from different papers, magazines and websites, but ESPN really has the best group for different perspectives and national content. It's also easier to avoid being beat over the head with whatever program they are trying to push on the website than it is watching the channel itself.
For local I prefer the Detroit Free Press' site as opposed to the Detroit News. The News is just too crowded, and doesn't draw one in. Their content is usually better, at least for prep sports, but the site itself is not pleasant.
Mlive is another good site. It is only ok for news and information, but it has some lively forums for people in Michigan. The sports forums are the ones I look at most often.

Livejournal.com, it's rather an addiction of mine, hehe. I love being able to keep up with my friends' lives (I've lived in three different cities so far so it's lovely to know what people I used to be friends with in real life but who I'd rarely see otherwise are up to day-to-day) & being able to meet new people & find out about their lives. Things like Myspace are quite fun too, but a bands list & a few paragraphs about yourself isn't going to say as much as an online journal does. ^_^
Also, last.fm, another site I'm pretty addicted to: I *love* music, & my taste in it is really rather eclectic, so I like having somewhere where people can go to see what I'm listening to day-to-day, rather than a list where I've just picked favourites or what I'm listening to most recently. I guess the appeal is the same as LJ, both sites encompass more about peoples' lives than regular old profile sites where you can have a few things & then risk the thing looking like War and Peace *grin*

I have lots of favourite websites, but one of my favourites has always been the BBC website; it's an absolute mine of information. Apart from the news coverage, which I love for its objectivity and intelligence, there is the Learning section - always useful for me at work, since I can usually find good ideas for lessons at a moment's notice if I need them - and the Sports and Gardening sections, which I love. I'm currently using the Gardening 3-D design template to plan out my new back garden, so it's really useful as well as being fun and educational.
