Around SBN: New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Ring Unveiled

SBN and BTSC Will Live On

It's been a fun start to the year on BTSC. Lots of new folks that have been great to add to the mix, and of course the stalwarts still remain that help keep the site so informative and fast paced. Cheers.

Well, looks like the network that hosts my site and countless others will continue to operate for the foreseeable future, thanks to an influx of venture capital:

The round of funding was led by Accel Partners, the Silicon Valley private equity firm best known for its backing of Facebook and led in part by Boston Celtics minority owner Jim Breyer. Additional funding came from Allen & Co.; AOL vice chairman emeritus and Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis; Brent Jones, former San Francisco 49ers player and now managing director of private equity firm Northgate Capital; former Yahoo! senior executives Dan Rosensweig and Jeff Weiner; and several executives from Providence Equity Partners, the venture capital shop where Bankoff remains a senior adviser.

Thanks y'all for doing your part. We just passed one million page views last week and looks like there will be many more.

If Blitz goes down

Who will be our emergency long-writer? CGolden? If so, our standard of expectation will not change. We accept that as part of the site and make no bones about it.
