Well, this just about made my year. I *knew* there was a reason I always liked the fine group at FanIQ. Peter King? Bill Simmons? Scouts, Inc? Bah! Know-nothings and posers!*
What? You've never heard of FanIQ? You don't visit regularly? You're not a member? You're crazy: This is one of the best concepts for a sports Web site I've ever seen. It's taking the "Wisdom of Crowds" stuff that I always raved about in the Quickie (and feel even more strongly about now as a part of the, ah, "Underground") and bringing it to the masses of sports fans.
I'm not raving simply because they recognized my once-in-a-lifetime genius -- a year from now, when they've gotten huge and been acquired for zillions by ESPN or Time Warner or CBS or Yahoo or Google, you'll say you were part of it way back when. Now: Behold the glory! -- D.S.
(* - Everyone knows I'm just having a little fun here, right?)

shanoff is an "expert"?
I hope you get the last pick right. Go Blue.
read 'the wisdom of crowds' by james surowiecki ... i think you all may understand what Dan meant.
excellent read.
Oh sure, "The Wisdom of Crowds" that votes for 453 Congresspeople on one day and then spends the next few hundred days calling them crooks and liars?
solo - i understand your disdain but i guess, ( and this is just a guess ) that the majority of political complainers are normally either
A -- 'partisan' and complaining about the 'other' party.
or
B -- those who didnt vote in the first place and just like to complain.
just a guess though
Wait, how is Simmons an expert? He picked his hometown team, as he usually does.
