Second, when you cite a player by name, why not hyperlink to his biography on a team Web site? When referring to other teams, why not hyperlink to sites offering team news and information, like these blog posts on the NBA Finals did?
Unlike with print stories where you are discouraged from over-relying on other news and information sources in background, in the blogosphere it is generally accepted to lean on other media.
That's because it better takes advantage of the blog medium, by taking you directly to the original source and giving your audience a chance to fully evaluate that source. In print, you are just excerpting, so your reader doesn't have the same benefit.

And this one had a lack of links. There was only one link on one post, and none on the other. The requirement was a minimum of two links per post. Why the reluctance to link? Let's talk about some possibilities.
This one had links, but unfortunatelty one didn't lead me anywhere. Nothing more frustrating to a reader than having frustrations in getting basic info. After posting a blog, check your hyperlinks and make sure they work.
One of you offered a ton of hyperlinks in these posts. Let's look at how effective those links were.
Here are some more blogs. This one is about this class.
