We've had a network partner make some changes that might affect this issue.
Looks like this might have worked, which means the issue is a network problem in a layer above Rivals, which is why it's impacting other Yahoo properties. We have some ability to route Rivals around that, which is why forums is now working, however we can't as easily do the same for the article side of the site, nor do we have any control over the other Yahoo products.
We are preparing a summary to pass to upstream network providers in the hopes one of them finds themselves to be the origin of this block list.
We think we may have found the service provider with the block and they've removed it, so everything should work now (Rivals content, techcrunch, engadget, etc)
