Nice to see.

Former AOL programming chief Jim Bankoff has secured a mid-seven-figure sum of venture capital for SB Nation, a startup network of sports blogs, from a group of digital media and technology luminaries.
...The SB Nation sites are combining to generate more than 2 million unique visitors a month, according to internal metrics. On a local and regional level, some of the more popular team-based blogs in SB Nation generate traffic similar to, if not greater than, the established media outlets covering those teams, Bankoff said.

A testament to the quality of the bloggers

I jump around SBN from time to time to check out other blogs, and I usually come away impressed. Not only that, but I think the overall site design – the live-updating threaded commenting available on every post – is great. Keep up the good work.
