Found this interesting.

Some excerpts:
So Mr. Topolsky and as many as eight of the more prominent editorial and technology staff members at Engadget have left or are leaving AOL and are about to build a new gadget site by joining forces with, yes, you guessed right, their old friend Mr. Bankoff, who now runs a federation of sports sites called SB Nation (http://www.sbnation.com/).Mr. Bankoff likes building new sites without having to ask for the kind of permissions required at a big publicly held company. “We have proprietary software that empowers talented editors and writers,” he said. “I have a history with these folks that leads to a conversation. They saw our process and technology and decided it was an environment that they would be able to succeed in.”
Isn't BTB a SB nation site?
