Evernote Business has only been around since last summer, but it’s already having an impact on how teams far and wide keep track of what’s on the collective mind. The division’s vice president John McGeachie sat down with us for a bit at The Next Web Conference this week in Amsterdam, giving us an inside [...]

With Kevin Johnson leading a charge to keep the Sacramento Kings in their current location, we might not get to see basketball in Seattle anytime soon. Or anywhere else for that matter, which is exactly why we need to put together Bleacher Report’s official NBA expansion plan. What’s better than basketball? More basketball! Remember, for [...]

It’s no secret that college football is big business and that a major contributing factor is revenue from television.
