Some of the newer guys may not know this but Wilheim was a damn good poster in his day, when he was just a poster... I wish Wil had the time to post as himself more often, he was without a doubt one of the very best.
It's extremely hard to mention people without slighting others...the levels of seperation between best and 100th are not much at all.
Some of the newer guys I like, dmmd98 is a very interesting read, too many of the guys who post occasionally won't get recognized either. As for someone very new tothe Rx MoFo, from what I have seen has been very interesting...When he came here there were warnings that he was a trouble maker so far I haven't seen it...after the year Ace Ace has had he is without question most popular.
I would also agree , Tomorrow's News is a great handle.
G Money has volunteered his time to grade the football picks threads for years!
Thumper Dragon has helped with grading and has done an excellent job.
Judge Wapner , I would have him on a very short list of most popular all time.
Hansen Bros and Action are two guys I would follow blindly...then you have guys like SSI, Hache Man, Illini, Blue Edwards, Kermit, Green Doberman, Wild Bill etc, the offshore regs, so many I could name 100's, all great posters.
I could name 200 posters who have been tremendous over the past 4 years since I have read this forum every day.
As far as the best capper in a particular sport, that will change annually....it will be very interesting to see how Ace does this NFL season, as I'm sure he will have 1000's following him !
