Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Harold Reynolds
All 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.
The polls for the semis will be open all the way through the holidays, until January 4, so feel free to take your time making up your mind. Because it's for all the marbles, as they say. And we mean marbles: We're going to send marbles to the winner. Here's the most recent bracket:
The matchup breakdown:
No. 1 Seed: Chris Berman 2006 Highlights Changed the way you thought about pickup lines. United Tony Kornheiser, Keith Olbermann, TRL, prime-time NBC programs and an awesome teenager who's "stupid, just stupid." Spawned the first piece of Deadspin clothing.
No. 5 Seed: Harold Reynolds 2006 Highlights Fired from ESPN for "undisclosed" reasons. Hugged the wrong person at the wrong time. Played awfully dumb. Sued ESPN's ass.
So, go vote: Who is headed for the SHOTY Title Game?
