    Just curious about the level of knowledge on this board. Many here are more knowledgeable than I am, and I consider myself a good fan.

    I'd say I've been a pretty die-hard NFL fan for the past decade or so.

    I play fantasy football, know a lot about the inner workings of the team, try to scout talent in college football, etc.

    I have to say I'm a fanatic by those definitions.

    NBA - fanatic(I don't know many international players, and don't try to follow any outside of potential Rocket draft picks, or already picked)

    NFL - Fantasy Player (I've never understood their cap structure)

    MLB - Devotee (Hard to know about minor league players outside of your own team.)

    This poll should've been made public so we can see who Morey is seeking advice from. :D

    When it comes to the Rockets, I am a master. And in a funny side note, I actually met Morey twice at the Staples Center and got to chat about the Rockets (I am pretty sure he took my advice into consideration). :D

    Well while most of the Atlanta Falcons Message Board was saying drafting Matt Ryan would set our franchise back 10 years.

    I made a thread saying if we drafted him he would make the Pro Bowl multiple times.

    Looks like I will be right, AGAIN!


    My basketball knowledge is the best though out of all sports. I love Basketball and it is easier to follow as far as college prospects.

    My vote : Master: Billy Beane, Daryl Morey calls me for advice

    since my true favorite sport is not basketball (nor football, nor baseball), a lot of these things don't apply; for example, drafts and salary caps.

    I don't even know enough about figure skating to make an intelligent question...which Juniors might make an impact at the next olympics maybe.

    My favorite sport is baseball, but I actually know more about the NBA than I do MLB.
