I would like to think I speak for just about every ESPN viewer when I say that I found "Who's Now" -- the tournament in which fans chose Tiger Woods as the most "now" athlete, whatever that means -- both annoying and stupid. But apparently a whole lot of people liked Who's Now. Maalek Marshall writes that it was by far the most-searched topic at ESPN.com this year:
Who's Now was far and away the top search of 2007 (receiving more than six times as many searches as the second-place top search). As noted in ESPN Ombudsman Le Anne Schreiber's column, there were nearly 5 million votes cast throughout the tournamentI don't really get why so many people cared about "Who's Now," but then again, I've never seen Grey's Anatomy, so I'm not the best judge of what the American public finds entertaining.
For the record, the rest of the top 10 most-searched items are: Fantasy Focus, Power Rankings, Pontiac Game Changing Performance, Fantasy NFL, Tuesday Morning Quarterback, Notre Dame, Poker, NFL Expert Picks and GamePlan.

Notre Dame! Haha, even in their worst year ever people everywhere are still interested. I wonder where "NCAA's only true freshman starting QB" ranks on the search list...

The only thing I will say for the "who's now" competition is that it introduced me to a couple of athletes in other fields I had never heard of, or never really followed before...mainly stock car and european soccer. But what's funny is that AOL did their own version of this...I don't think it was as successful.
