sharapovasthigh I don't get it either, 9 now. What the heck? I think it's great.-
EthanJaynes They have no idea what TrueHoop is. They are most likely sports fans that do not want some blogging headline taking up the #1 spot. At least those are my thoughts. Maybe they are Football or Baseball fans.

More Mavs Coverage In 'The Bar District' [image] My man Joe over at Big Apple Café in Arlington has a theory about competition in the bar business: It’s not competition at all. Another saloon moves in across the street? “I welcome that,’’ Joe says. “That means we’re one joint closer to creating a ‘bar district,’ and that’s good for business. So the more the merrier.’’ It is in that spirit that I note the wonderful league-wide move by Henry Abbott of TrueHoop and welcome into the “bar district’’ of Mavs coverage ...

(I can't wait to afford the man-cave. ;) ) So I thought it was time to turn my addiction into something more productive than being the most versed NBA fan at the office or winning a few fantasy trophies. And with that I thought a blog was the answer, so here we are. I also have a desire to get the spot as the official Wolves blog in the TrueHoop Network of NBA blogs. I could have kept that desire under wraps but we're looking for honesty and full disclosure ...
ESPN and Social Media: What ESPN Should Do—And What It Will

... ESPN has fared far better with acquisition. Through their TrueHoop Network, ESPN has bolstered their already exhaustive basketball coverage with a set of ESPN-sanctioned team-specific and general interest NBA blogs. This allows ESPN to shine a light on the stories that blogs break or analysis they do without losing the appeal of the ESPN platform, and gives blogs extra exposure and an affiliation with a strong brand. It’s hard to see any negatives in this context, except for the loss of a modicum of independence for the bloggers involved, and the added value of the ...
