Well, Fantasy Scout is not played in RSS, but there is a strong link
anyway, so I think that the article about Fantasy Scout in today's La
Gazzetta dello Sport qualifies as "RSS in the media" (page 25, if you
have a copy).

Here is the article:

I thank you and Abubakr for you kind words, but FS is a collective
effort, so all the 15 scout deserve these congratulations!

Of course. But it's quick *and dirty* (and I'm adding a couple of
notes):

Fantasy Deliria [1]

by Luca Bianchin

A research between Averroes and Higuain

Averroes is not Albacete's left-back, but a medieval thinker, and this
is the first information. The second is an address:
fantasyscout.altervista.org. More than a website, it's a tribute to
minimalism: on every page there are no colors. Despite this, it might
be the most interesting variation on the theme in the history of
fantasy football. [2]

The rules are spartan. Who registers must buy every year from 2 to 16
players who have not yet played their third game in the A national
team. From then on, the player will bring 1 point for every cap and 1
for every goal scored, considering only international matches. The
nice thing is that a player belongs to one team only: who sees him
first, keeps him forever.

On fantasyscout Indians and Australians, Scots and Germans play, but
the inventor of the infernal machine lives in Catania. Andrea Vella is
31 year old, every morning goes to college and studies medieval
philosophers. He has a research grant, as his wife Chiara Militello.
The game has been invented in a break between an essay on St.
Augustine and a research on Latin Averroists, who in the ranking of
Andrea's passions even beat football. He is now third in the general
ranking, because he has alternated strokes of genius (Walcott and
Higuain) and resounding failures (Polanski, not even if he was the
director, and Vermeer, less talented than the painter). [3] The funny
thing is that the ranking is constantly changing. As the first line of
the rules says: "The game has started 2007 January 1. It will never
end."

[1] This is the name of the column.

[2] This is an overstatement, of course! But it makes me happy.

[3] This third paragraph is the one that I like less. I told the
interviewer that the game is a collective effort, but I guess that,
for narration's sake, he wanted to put a personal history behind the
game.
