NBCSports.com launched as a standalone website about a week or so ago, divorcing itself from MSNBC.com. As part of that mandate to expand its sports offerings, it has bought Allstar Stats, a 17-year old fantasy-sports company based in Somers, New York, and its Rotoworld.com fantasy news site. NBC Sports had previously announced a deal with Rotoworld to produce an online show pegged to its Sunday Night Football telecasts.
Also, NBC Sports says that 150 affiliates will contribute content to the site. It has also partnered with MediaZone to offer live broadband coverage of sporting events from around the world.
