Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Harold Reynolds Vs. Ned

Ordinarily, 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.

Don't know if you've had a chance to look yet, but that Roethlisberger-Mikulik matchup? With more than 6,000 votes, Roethlisberger is up by four. That's four single votes. So if you haven't voted yet, go over there, because your vote will, in fact, count.

We've got another popular upset pick on the ballot today: ESPN outcast hugger Harold Reynolds takes on the legend that is Ned, the injured Florida International running back eager to hop on the field, crutches and all, and join the fight. It's a 5-12 battle, and we wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than you might think.

The tale ... of ... the tape!

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.

No. 12 Seed: Ned 2006 Highlights Had his teammates' back, totally. Made it back out on the field. Developed his own legend.

So, go vote: Who advances to the Elite Eight?
