Three-time BwB speaker Jim Bankoff of three-time BwB sponsor SB Nation was profiled today in the NY Times:

The popular site is just one of more than 250 unapologetically biased sports sites owned by SB Nation, most of them dedicated to a single team. The sites, written by fans for fans, do not claim to break news or have an inside scoop, but they often serve as a digital water cooler for the like-minded, The New York Times’s Joseph Plambeck reported….

Now the company is getting into the regional sports business, introducing 20 new sites in the next several weeks that are dedicated to all of the sports in a particular city, as varied as New York and Kansas City.
