Joining the MSNBC family, nbcsports.com relaunched this weekend as part of the parent site. The Alpha Blog details the changes, including:
What’s new? More sports videos in a new video player, NBC Sports personalities including John Madden, Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Jerome Bettis and Johnny Miller, and special content from NBC Sports’ marquee coverage of NFL’s Sunday Night Football, Notre Dame, NHL, the PGA Tour and the USGA. We’ll also have more fantasy sports coverage from Rotoworld.
The site brings all the familiar MSNBC features: customizable homepage, great video player, iPredict and First Person.

Well, that’s kind of amusing. Didn’t they break off of MSNBC.com just a short while ago?

Awesome. I was wondering where I could get more coverage of Notre Dame. Now if I can find a network stupid enough to contract with the Detroit Lions…

They made it, what, about a year and a half on their own? Quite predictable that they’d be back.

They went over to the IB platform about 2 years ago.
Last fall, NBC IT thought they could do it, so they spent something like $10 million on a Vignette-based system, which failed, so they’ve done what ever other NBC website has done, which is to go back to the MSNBC platform. I figure another year, and they’ll start looking for a new solution again.
