All right, everybody, it's time for the voting to begin. We'll be going Monday/Wednesday/Friday until the end of the year to get this rolling and prompt-like. But first off: Everybody salute the big pile of genius that is Jim Cooke for his official 2008 SHOTY poster. Bless his heart. Voting will remain open until the end of the first round ... so let's get started. It's No. 7 seed (and 2007 SHOTY winner) Isiah Thomas vs. No. 10 Nightmare Ant. A look at the nominees' 2008 resumes: No. 7 Isiah Thomas Won 2007 SHOTY. Presided over the greatest possession in NBA history. Got fired, somehow. Earned $18 million for staying away from his team. Entered Deadspin Hall of Fame. Tried to kill himself with sleeping pills. Blamed it on his daughter. No. 10 Nightmare Ant Unleashed upon an unsuspecting populace. Spawned. Vowed revenge. So all right, let's start this puppy off: Who makes it to the Final Eight? More »

How did I know that Nightmare Ant — the creation of the great, great, J.E. Skeets — had gone "viral," as they say? When some jokester tagged my book "Bow Down Before Nightmare Ant." It made me laugh far more than another damned emo bangs comment. The true genius of Skeets' original post was its simplicity; it was simply Nightmare Ant, and nothing else. It was a truly collaborative effort bringing Nightmare Ant to national prominence, and we should all take a considerable bit of pride from that. Supposedly, Nightmare Ant's real name is the Mad Ant, and he's the mascot of Ft. Wayne Mad Antz in the D-League. His season goal? "Cheering the Mad Ants on to victory and making all of you smile." Yeah, about that ... But is he a Hall of Famer? Seventy five percent is the threshold for induction. Vote below: Polls will be open until next Monday afternoon. Vote as if tomorrow does not exist.
