The bizarre thing about this site is that it has totally robbo-written basketball analysis.  The statistics are fed in and a software program writes and tailors the narrative analysis based upon the staistics fed into the computer.  I am not so  certain that it is a good idea to eliminate the human genius, creativity, and bias from sports writing.  

 It sure is efficient though.  Certainly reduces the number of employees.  And, I believe they report that they have like 345 sites for each Division I school up and running.   The stories, recaps of past games,  updates, and previews of future games are all written by story writing software.   The developer says he believes that 80% of the people never question that this is all artificially created.
