    Actually, the creators of ballhype are brilliant. They've done some really god work in the sports blogging arena. They paid attention and created a site that fits into a niche. I may not be original, but it was executed well. Digg Sports really sucks and I was looking for something similar where I could find latest posts from fellow Sports bloggers. I picked my favorite teams and I have the latest 5 posts for those teams on my ballhype sidebar. They've also done a bit more than digg with groups and games and a lot of my traffic comes from there. Good people who worked hard and have now been rewarded. Nothing wrong with that.
