SB Nation To Launch YouTube Channel March 1st, BTB To Contribute Cowboys Goodness

by KD Drummond on Feb 29, 2012 8:16 AM CST in Trolling the Universe

Tomorrow is a huge day in the evolution of this thing we have going here.

March 1st, 2012 marks the launching of a new endeavor for this network of the finest sports blogs in the webisphere. SB Nation's YouTube Channel will go live, with a myriad of video content to augment the dynamic reading experience you're accustomed to here on Blogging The Boys and elsewhere in the family.

Of course, BTB will have a place at the table, as yours truly will be involved in the exciting endeavor. I'll have more details in the coming days.

Yes, your worst fears have come true, you might have to look at me as well as read my drivel. I apologize in advance, but I haven't been holding on to these incriminating blackmail photos of Dave for no reason, ya'know? Besides, the Dallas Cowboys are kind of a big deal in the sporting world and probably require coverage that will be important to the movement.

If you follow the comings and goings of the sports reporting world, you've heard by now that SBN secured the talents of both Bomani Jones and Amy K. Nelson over the past few months. If you don't know who they are, google'em! They headline a collection of talent that you'll hopefully become familiar with over the next few weeks and months.

Or, you can check out the previews of SB Nation's YouTube Channel! Follow the jump for some hand-selected previews, and then go subscribe! The launch is tomorrow, and there is much more behind the curtain than what is here to whet your appetite.

So will this lead to post that are just a video instead of an article?

Or will you guys be force to promote these people shows on the front page whether its a Cowboy topic or not?

So will this lead to " Fanshot " shouts from bigham?.

I am just curious.

Maybe I am in the minority but I’d rather read an article than watch one. Also I would rather not have to sift through peoples shows that have nothing to do with the Cowboys. All 3 “previews” above were just very annoying. They added effects just to add them. It reminded me of Family Guy

Yes

I’m literate, I prefer to use my reading skills. I will say that doing a back and forth on video may be something nice, kind of like an alternative to ESPN and NFLN.

Yeah I don't care at all about the "national" people

I would much rather see a round table type discussions with jimmyk bbi and occ or something of the sort you know.

I was just wondering if in an effort to promote this, that BtB will “transform” some articles into videos and then also post videos of these people shows when they “air”.

Not only that SBnation is paying these guys when people like OCC should be taken care of. These national show types just say things to get ratings unlike the quality we get at BtB.

tl;dr

How will this effect BtB

Maybe Dave will challenge JasonB to a knife fight and broadcast it.

That could be fun, right?

BTB posts will solely be Cowboys related

Please fix the app

It’s buggy as all hell for me. iPhone 4, in case you were wondering.

Looking forward to YT.

be good to see BtB people on this.

Maybe we'd get to see Archia and BBI argue over the draft.

by Omar Little on Feb 29, 2012 8:55 AM CST reply actions

I prefer articles to videos but some video is good. I’d like some documentary type videos, preferably backed with video if that’s possible. Walk thoughs and match ups could be good. Cowboys related (for the most part) only

I think everyone is missing the most important aspect of this.

We are about to be given a new outlet of trolling and pissing off eagles giants and redskins fans.

I think the takeaway from this is...

…that not only do we no longer have to read the national writers to get Cowboys material; we now don’t have to watch the national talking heads for the same reason.

And, as always, the BTB people are smarter, more focused and well informed about your favorite team. As KD says, they may not be as pretty…

If this gets up and running, you may never have to click on ESPN in any form ever again. And how could that not be a good thing?

Yea,sounds good but

are all you front pagers gonna adopt movie star attitudes, sunglasses and entourages?

well, hopefully the content

is better than the previews. I watched pretty much all the vids they show on the channel and none of them interested me and none had me wanting to watch more.

Obviously I look forward to any BTB content…that will probably all I watch.

Could one of you SBN folk answer a broader question about Video / licensing etc

I realise this channel is to broadcast original content but I am actually more interested in the ability to show snippets of game film to support game or player analysis.

Occassionally a writer will break down a key play or player performance in a game. This never seems to done with video, only with stills and/or diagrams.

I presume it is technically an infringement to rebroadcast any game content via YouTube, but then so is recording a game on your DVR. Does the NFL shut it down even if it only amounts to seconds worth of game film? I would have thought it would be hard for the NFL to show harm. especially if it’s to increase fan’s engagement with the game.

Understand that it probably wouldn’t make sense to put this sort of content on the official SBN YouTube channel but does it cause a problem for SBN if a poster embeds or references a YouTube game clip that comes from another account?

What is SBN’s policy on this? Will they remove video links with Game film / ban posters etc?

FanPosts & Fanshots: If we see content that is obviously not supposed to be on our site, we WILL take it
down. This is the case for any type of pirated material, unauthotized content or where intellectual property is obviously misappropriated.

Frontpage: We occasionally do use short snippets of game film, usually of less than a minute and always credit the source. Importantly, the content of the clip must be directly related to – and the actual subject of – our post. This constitutes “fair use”.

As long as we did not upload video to YouTube or similar platforms ourselves and had nothing to do with the clips getting on YouTube, we can link to video that we can find on YouTube (using the YouTube embed code).
