Around SBN: Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire Vow To Fit In With Lin

Warning! Warning! Promotion alert

[NOTE: I apologize in advance for the promotional nature of this post. It is, however, something I am obligated to do -- and has details you should know about anyway.]

You guys probably know by now that this blog's content is promoted at places like Yahoo! Sports, AOL Fanhouse, CSB Sportsline, USA Today, SI.com and other places.

Well, now -- through a very cool sponsorship deal between Sprint and our parent company, SB Nation -- Big Blue View content is available on NFL Mobile. If you have Sprint service, you may already have found our content at NFL Mobile Live. If you have access to it, click the 'My team' link and set Giants as your team -- if you haven't already.

What do I get out of this deal? It's full disclosure time. As part of the deal Sprint sent NFL bloggers, myself included, were given free Palm Pre phones and free service for a finite period.

What can you get, in addition to seeing BBV on NFL Mobile Live? Each week, Sprint is posting three Can't-Miss plays, if you vote in the contest you can enter to win Super Bowl tickets.

Star-divide

Let me tell you a little about the phone itself, and I'm not just going to sing its praises because it's a freebie. This is a great phone. I'm a guy who has always used a basic 'pay as you go' cell phone, so I have never had anything like this. Let me tell you, I'm going to have a tough time parting with it when my free service expires.

I used it over the weekend to listen to the radio broadcast of the Giants game while I was watching my son's rec league soccer game. It includes access to the Network, a bunch of other apps and a really handy slide out keyboard I find suprisingly easy to type on.

I apologize again for the promotional post. Please remember, though, none of the bloggers here at BBV -- or SBN as a whole -- is making a living from this. The phone is a nice perk for me. In the end, though, deals like this make the network a better place for you.

Nothing wrong with that

BBV wouldn’t be here without that woman selling her online degrees. If you can make a living off something you love to do anyway, well, it doesn’t get any better than that.

The Giants are in three of the ten. You probably know which plays they are. No doubt about Number one.

PS

Does she look like Reese Witherspoon to anyone else or is it just me?

Maybe her hotter, younger sister

Not that Reese is bad by any means. I think she looks more like Amy Smart.

Speaking of promotions, see my

fan shot question. Are the Ceolts paying to promote themselves?

I noticed that too?

NESN.com Celtics news on the right hand side. I always wondered why it was on here, especially a NY sports team blog? I would understand if it was more closer to Boston or up in Maine!

funny you should ask that

Those NESN ads invaded my site, and I commented to the powers that be how out of place I thought it looked for “NESN NBA News” to be featured so prominently on a hockey site. I was told NESN absolutely loves SBNation sites, and wanted to be a part of them. For now, this is what we got.

Doesn't this NESN.com have a Knicks or Nets page?

Or maybe just a generic page? I’ve never once felt the need to click those links as I could care less about the Celtics, and I never will if they can’t figure that out.
