    For all those who felt Barbaro was robbed in the Hall of Fame voting, here's another chance to show your support. Meanwhile, Ben Roethlisberger was dangerously close to becoming glue several times himself this year.

    The matchup breakdown:

    No. 3 Seed: Barbaro
    2006 Highlights
    Crashed out at the Preakness.
    Inspired some amazing letters (and haiku!).
    Banged a woman, fictionally.
    Didn't die. In fact, got, uh, a few more letters.

    No. 6 Seed: Ben Roethlisberger
    2006 Highlights
    Showed us just how to drink like a champion.
    Celebrated winning a Super Bowl by cutting his hair.
    Crashed his helmetless head into something made of concrete.
    Lost an appendix.
    Accepted that his team wasn't very good anymore.

    So, go vote: Who is headed for the Final Four?
