Deadspin
OK, folks ... it's time for the voting to begin. Let's all give big-up to the genius that is Jim Cooke for his official SHOTY graphic. The 2007 SHOTY voting will run every Tuesday and Thursday until, well, 2008 probably. We love Kige there.
Voting will remain open until the end of the first round ... so let's get started. It's No. 4 seed Elijah Dukes vs. No. 13 Jeff Reed. A look at the nominees:
No. 4 Seed: Elijah Dukes
Explored the possibilities lent to us by cellular technology.
Impregnated a foster child.
Became a sports radio star.
You divorced, dawg.
No. 13 Seed Josh Reed
Revealed some kicker dong.
Partied.
Partied some more.
So, go vote: Who makes it to the Final Eight?

I don't wanna be dead dawg.
You gonna beat the dong, dawg!
A vote for Reed is a vote for more penis photos. Vote for Dukes.
KIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGEKIGE
anything to keep the kicker dong out of my morning coffee.
No asterisks for the SHOTY? I think this whole SHOTY election deserves an asterisk.
This is seriously the most glorious part of my day.
And who is this Josh Reed guy?
Wow, that's an impressive group up there. It's going to be tough voting.
Psycho >>> Naked troll
I want to vote for that dead horse.
Troll doll.
That's the first time Mangino's ever been the smallest person in a picture.
No woman was found worthy of the SHOTY?
Manginos in your mirror are farther away than they actually appear.
If Kige wins this thing I'm going to burn down the Internet.
@TheStarterWife: He's the thing attached to the penis.
Revealing dong, partying and partying some more. That's how I fucking roll
Vote for Donnelly!
I'm glad we started with an easy one.
I'm also glad to see Anthony Anderson is getting a nod.
Is it too late to nominate Aubrey Huff?
Ronnie Mex verse Kige Rams finals is going to be an epic battle (I'm calling it now). There is no way the buzz doesnt rival the Pats Colts game last week.
@Rob Iracane: You (and I, in the interest of full disclosure) threatened that the last time with the horse.
And the horse still won.
Elijah Dukes for the right to lose to Kige in the second round. Kige has to be the 1 seed, right? No Kige 1 seed, no justice.
I'd love to vote for Dukes, but Jeff Reed changed the way I thought about kicker dongs.
@SweetnSourLouPiniella: Also, that appears to be a picture of Marques Slocum up there, but he's suspiciously depicted sans fuck lion. What gives?
@Rob Iracane:
Has to be the favourite. Not saying it's right, but...
@Rob Iracane: after his political campaign, don't think he has a chance
...besides nothing is coming close to Isiah...bitch
@dave_leitao_is_my_hero: Sadly, he falls into the same category as celebrities who die too late in the year to be included in those "these guys died this year" montages.
I want to see the bracket, just so I can fill it out and have it busted in the second round, as a warm up for March.
@TheStarterWife: Maybe I sekrit-ly want Kige to win this year, and I'm using reverse psychology.
A vote for Steely McBeam is a vote for justice.
Was mangino a mouseketeer?
@Rob Iracane: I've got the gasoline, matches, and dynamite ready. You just say the word
Isaiah's Steinbrenner-esque turtleneck and sportsjacket combo never cease to make me chuckle.
Oh, and Dukes all the way.
I look forward to seeing Kige's video campaign
Not to get all "no love for..." on any one, but I don't see a memo in the collage.
This is just great. SHOTY season gets me all tingly.
Just how many of these nominees are dong related?
"Dude, a vote for me is a vote for total dongination, brah."
/Jeff Reed's campaign slogan
@Shea Guevara: Well, hopefully he will not have died in vain. (or perhaps had a near fatal wounding.)
Vote Mangino in '07
@Muggsy Bogues: Seconded. I mean... eleventhed.
it's the most...wonderful time....of the year...
It just has to be Dukes. I mean I actually know a few douchewhistles kinda like Reed. SHOTY is reserved for people in rarefied territory; territory I do not hang around.
@Denny Crane etc: a vote for Steely McBeam is a vote for gay-ness.
It's gotta be Pauly Shore lookalike Reed. Waaaay funnier than Dukes screwing a foster kid.
@Matt_T: Deadspin is a very big site. This is Kige Ramsey for...
With apologies to TSW I've got to go Dukes here. Still too bitter about my team shitting the bed last Sunday to vote for a Steeler. Except Steely, of course.
@UkraineNotWeak: And is it greater than or less than the nominees that are closeted-homosexual related? And is there enough overlap between the two to satisfy both?
Steely McBeam vs. Brady Quinn
There would be a riot at Michael Kors.
@Mr. Marinovich: For fear of getting your ass beaten.
@Donald_Igwebuike: I think it was disqualified on the "not human" technicality.
@Lady Andrea: even if the kid told jokes while it happened?
Partying with chicks instead of killing them will always get my vote.
