Deadspin HOF Nominee: Marques Slocum's F—k Lion

Because we all really must be reminded of the genius that is the Fuck Lion, allow me to, once again, give the exact quote from Marques Slocum's brilliant Facebook page self-interrogation.

Do you own any pets, and if so what do you have?
i got a fuck lion now come fuck wit me

Who do you admire most?
My mom CARLA, dat bitch da shit, i love her i think she da realest bitch alive

When do you plan on getting married?
it dont matta cuz i hope my wife know ima be playa 4 life

Sadly, Slocum is no longer a member of the Michigan Wolverines, which means this might be the one honor left that he has a chance at earning. It might be all he has.

But yeah, still: I'm totally getting that fuck lion.

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 like the wind.

SHOTY First Round: Isiah Thomas Vs. Marques Slocum

Leitch — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:10:20 EST

We come, AT LAST, to the end of the first round of SHOTY voting. Yes, it's taken a while; just be glad we have 16 competitors, rather than 64. We would have had to start in June.

Nothing has been close so far — though that Vick race was intriguingly close — but this is the 8-9 matchup. And it's two of our favorites; both are probably underseeded. So:

No. 8 Seed Isiah Thomas
Don't give a shit about these white people, bitch.
Understands what black people can say, and what white people can't.
Explained sexual harassment to James Dolan.
Got gotten by the bitches.
Successful avoided Stephon Marbury's "dirt."

No. 9 Seed Marques Slocum
got a fuck lion now come fuck wit me.

So, vote: We're excited to see the results of this one.

Marques Slocum Has Fascinating Pets

This is Marques Slocum, defensive tackle for the Michigan Wolverines. He has a Facebook page. And it's quite glorious.

He has answered some of his own questions on his page. They're quite fun. Every Day Should Be Saturday has all the gory details.

Do you own any pets, and if so what do you have?

There's so much more. We're totally getting a fuck lion.
