SHOTY First Round: Mark Cuban Vs. Matt Leinart
It's the day after Thanksgiving! If you have any good sense, you're lying on the floor right now, surrounded by pieces of bird skin, dealing with a nog-throbbing brain and complete with a homicide-scene outline traced with pie crust. Congratulations on getting to this point. You've earned it. Now, how about some SHOTY voting? Voting will remain open until the end of the first round ... so let's go with the matchup the seedings say will be the closest in the first round. It's No. 8 seed Mark Cuban vs. No. 9 Matt Leinart. A look at the nominees' 2008 resumes:Voting will remain open until the end of the first round ... so let's go with the matchup the seedings say will be the closest in the first round. It's No. 8 seed Mark Cuban vs. No. 9 Matt Leinart. A look at the nominees' 2008 resumes: No. 8 Mark Cuban Ired by this site's former editor, for reasons unknown to anyone else. Banned bloggers from his locker room, for reasons unknown to anyone else. Pretended he had a chance to buy the Cubs. Charged with insider trading, kind of. No. 9 Matt Leinart Humanized himself. Humanized himself. Humanized himself. Lost his starting job to a Bible thumper. Burn. So, who wins?
