Another media buyout

Comcast SportsNet has acquired The700Level.com. Site founder Enrico Campitelli Jr. pledged the site will retain its editorial independence after joining the corporate conglomerate. He even said the site will improve.

Perhaps, but I remember hearing similar things from the Boston Dirt Dogs when it was acquired by Boston.com in 2004. But what was once an edgy, must-read source of Red Sox satire is now an afterthought for me.

Maybe things will work out better for The 700 Level.

If you ever read about SoxandPhils vowing to maintain its integrity after being bought out, it can mean only one thing: We're rich. Don't worry, we'll continue to be uncensored and unread.
