I think we can get a little closer if we don't try to log in to the site.

I don't know anything about calibre, but I did find some information that I think might be of help.

In the file ./resources/builtin_recipes.zip I found a file called espn.recipe.

Looking at it, and looking at the web site, I tried this web page:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/nfl/news

which gave me a bunch of stuff, including a URL that looked like this:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...king-full-list

I saw on line 109 something that looked interesting, so I tried to go to this page to get the story.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=29533526 which seems to work pretty well.

Looking at line 115, I saw that this sort of an URL was an interesting idea.

https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=29533526&type=story

And that one works as well.

Maybe this is all that needs to be changed?

Thanks,
Rob
