Gotta build a brand and drive traffic to the site.

Couldn't agree with you more. Brands are built on one thing: TRUST.
This takes quality and lots of patience. Partnerships are kind of tricky. Fleas and elephants don't couple very well.

I think it is fine to hang back and focus on incubating content and community at this stage. Give users the tools and let them make you a sticky community, like Brad and Jeff did at SI.

BCST did it with sports. There are lots of other opportunities, such as high schools and colleges.
