Yahoo! Acquires Rivals.com for est. $100M

Paid Content says it’s official: Yahoo! Acquires Rivals.com for est. $100M.

Like Scout.com, Rivals.com is a sports community site.  Scout.com was bought for $60M in August 2005 by News Corp.

If history repeats itself, and it always does, and things come in three’s, then maybe this means that Yahoo! will next buy:

- a social network: Bebo or Facebook anyone?
- a gaming/tech site: CNET anyone?

Technically, News Corp. first bought social network MySpace (then Scout.com) and closed the trifecta with gaming site IGN.

But you get the idea.
