College Football Polls Are Not Particularly Diverse

Nothing signals the oncoming bumrush of the college football season than the top 25 polls. Unlike every other collegiate sport, the polls actually have a concrete effect on the postseason, as much as college football has a "postseason." Therefore, you'd expect them to be thoroughly researched and submitted with the utmost seriousness, right? Yes? More »

SHOTY Final: Chris Berman Vs. Barbaro

Well, while we were gone, the late rush of Barbaro votes came in, and he edged out Carl Monday right after the new year, sending him into the final with, of course, Chris Berman, who has yet to be challenged. We suspect he's in for one now. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Barbaro

sportshuman.jpgAnd here we are, the matchup we are personally most curious about, the one featuring the infamous Carl Monday and good ole Barbaro, who would be a late charger if only his hoof would grow. We have been looking forward to this one since this got started. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Harold Reynolds

sportshuman.jpgAll right, here we are: It's time for the Final Four. We have our ESPN side of the bracket, and then our Masturbator Locator Vs. Horse side of the bracket. All four candidates are worthy. It's time for some tough decisions, people. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Barbaro Vs. Ben Roethlisberger

sportshuman.jpgWe're to our final quarterfinal matchup, with the semis taking place next week in a torrent of voting mania. (Or something.) We encourage you all to vote on the extremely tight Mariotti-Reynolds matchup. First, a reminder of the bracket. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Jay Mariotti Vs. Harold Reynolds

sportshuman.jpgWe return to the SHOTY Tournament, with the final two quarterfinal matchups, today and Thursday. Of all the Elite Eight matchups, we think this might end up the closest. (The first two have been runaways, though you can still vote.) First, a reminder of the bracket. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Stephen A. Smith

sportshuman.jpgAll right: Time for the next step in the Elite Eight. This thing is gonna fly by now, by the way; the final two Elite Eight matchups will be next week, and then it's Final Four time, and then, jeez, then this whole virtual construction is completed. To remind you, here's the bracket (Berman's got a considerable lead over Leinart, but there's still time to vote.) More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Matt Leinart

sportshuman.jpgAt last: The first round is over, and we have our eight winners. For all the talk of potential upsets and the supposed mis-seeding of certain competitors, there was only one first round "upset": Stephen A. Smith took down Ozzie Guillen, and that was a shaky seed in the first place. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Barbaro Vs. Lamar Thomas

All right, we know this is supposed to just run Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we decided that we were too eager to finally get this first round overwith so we can start the second round tomorrow. (SI's curious pick of Mr. Wade made us decide to speed up the process a bit.) So, this is the final first round matchup, and it's the one many have been waiting for: The return of Barbaro, whose omission from the Deadspin Hall of Fame still rankles many out there. His inclusion here almost forced us into calling this the Sports Mammal Of The Year, but we thought that perhaps a bit too precious. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Ozzie Guillen Vs. Stephen A. Smith

sportshuman.jpgJust two more first-round matchups left until the Elite Eight, and we've got a potential barnburner here today. (Does anyone other than Musberger use "barnburner" anymore? We like the term.) More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Jay Mariotti Vs. Darren Daulton

sportshuman.jpgAfter nearly a week off, the Deadspin SHOTY Tournament kicks back up today — just three more first-round matchups left — with a guy who seemingly shows up every week around these parts, if just to make himself more famous, against a former Philadelphia hero who has only made Deadspin once, but in a rather glorious way.

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Farney

sportshuman.jpgAll right, after some wild voting irregularities yesterday — remember: The Deadspin way is not to raise too much issue with people cheering on their favorites in a poll on a silly blog — we have what we'd think would be a blowout today. But you never know: Someday a No. 16 WILL beat a No. 1. Probably not today, though. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Harold Reynolds Vs. Ned

sportshuman.jpgOrdinarily, the SHOTY tournament will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this week, with that whole Thanksgiving business, we're going Monday-Tuesday this week. We hope your system can handle the shock. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Ricky Manning Jr.

sportshuman.jpgWe're off to the next first-round matchup, and this one seems likely to be more of a blowout than the potential upset brewing in the Roethlisberger-Mikulik matchup. (Polls are open, by the way, until all first round matchups are completed.) More »
