These efforts have allowed the site the opportunities to ink non-exclusive deals with notable sports-related networks Yardbarker and Fantasy Sports Ventures. The foreseeable future is bright.

From an 10.29.08 review by G.L.I Press:
“The posts are short and to the point, discussing important aspects of the game a reader doesn’t have to be a super-hard-core fan to appreciate. The subjects are given just the amount of attention they deserve in a relatively clutter-free layout. And unlike the major sports media sites like ESPN.com there are no trolls lurking around waiting to take up the entire message board insulting each other.”
Advertise with a growing Chicago and national sports fan destination that is highly selective in engaging in partnerships. Do not fear succumbing to over saturation.
