What Is The Feed on SB Nation?

The Feed is SB Nation's community activity stream — a running list of posts and discussions created by users across the network, shown alongside the site's editorial news. You'll see it on SBNation.com under the "The Feed" heading, where community posts appear with an author name, a timestamp, a comment count, and a recommendation count. If you want to read what fans are saying rather than what staff writers are publishing, The Feed is the place to start.

What appears in The Feed

Each entry in The Feed is a community post, not a staff article. Based on the site's own feed, a typical entry includes:

• Author — a username, sometimes with a "Star" label for recognized contributors
• Timestamp — for example "1d," "3d," or a date like "Sep 20"
• Post title — often a question, take, or short analysis, such as "Week 3 picks in 2 sentences" or "Pistons could do better with the 200+ million than give it to Duren"
• Comment count — how many replies the post has drawn
• Recommendation count — how many users have recommended it

Posts can also include media. In the feed shown on the site, one entry carries a YouTube link marked "promoted," and another includes a GIF.

How you interact with it

The Feed is built around three actions:

1. Create Post — the button labeled "Create Post" lets a signed-in user start a new community post.
2. Comment — each post shows a comment bubble and count; selecting it opens the thread.
3. Recommend — the recommendation count reflects other users boosting a post.

The visible controls also include Expand All, which opens the full set of feed entries rather than a truncated view.

How posts are sorted

The Feed offers three sort options, shown as tabs:

Use Most Recs when you want the community's consensus picks, and Most Replies when you want the arguments. The default view is best for catching up on what's new.

How it connects to team communities and the main site

The Feed sits inside a broader structure. SB Nation describes itself as a network made up of SBNation.com, MMAFighting.com, and more than 300 fan-centric team communities. Community posts in The Feed can be attributed to those team communities — the site's feed shows entries labeled "From Blogging The Boys," the Dallas Cowboys community, alongside general NFL and Cowboys coverage.

That means The Feed is a cross-section: you may see a Cowboys community post next to a national NFL story, a golf result, or a Formula 1 race recap. Editorial content and community content share the same page but are labeled differently — staff articles carry a byline and a section tag (NFL, Golf, Dallas Cowboys analysis), while community posts carry a username and a comment/recommendation count.

What you can expect to find there

The topics track whatever is live in sports at that moment. In the feed captured on the site, that includes NFL Week 3 injury news (Baker Mayfield's thumb, Mike Evans' ribs), a Cowboys–Ravens analysis thread, NBA trivia, a Pistons salary-cap debate, and a piece on Usain Bolt's world records. The mix is deliberate: breaking news sits next to fan argument.

There is also a Download the new SB Nation app prompt on the page, so the same feed and community features are reachable outside the browser.

When The Feed is useful — and when it isn't

Use The Feed if you want:

• Fan reaction and debate rather than reported news
• To find the most-recommended or most-argued posts quickly via the sort tabs
• To post your own take and get replies from other fans

Skip it if you want:

• Verified reporting or official team statements — those come from the editorial articles, not community posts
• A clean chronological news list — the feed mixes sports, teams, and media types

One practical note: because entries are user-generated, quality varies widely. A post with a high recommendation count is a better signal of community interest than of accuracy.
