And you guys thought Amazon had been scared off of major expansion in NYC. This is only the beginning. All they need to do is buy existing buildings or businesses and that will not require input from the state legislature or city council.

Did you know that B and N are right next to you on a QWERTY keyboard which is also by far the most popular English language keyboard layout? Why wouldn't you go for the most reasonable explanation at first?

Also, what Romance language elides a N to a B with any consistency? I'm curious as to how you came to that one. I'm curious because "net" in English does actually have a pretty interesting etymology, so maybe there's something you found following some study that actually made that a reasonable guess.

I'm guessing this endeavor has more to do with getting a foothold into sports media.
