NN NFL Tournament of Badness: Tanking For Andrew Luck and Less Cheerleaders
At the time of writing this, there's a two-vote difference in the ongoing matchup between "Player 'X' Being A Bust After One Season" and "Players Doing Stupid Things." I love matches like this, I have no idea who will end up winning it, but either are deserving of advancing, so it will be interesting to see. Today, we've got a good matchup between twelve seed and thirteen seed, as "Tanking The Season To Draft Andrew Luck" is up against "Less Cheerleaders". Coin flip for me, really.
So make the jump to read the descriptions of the participants for today, read full results from the opening round of the bracket, view the entire bracket. But first: remember, we are voting on what we believe to be the absolute worst thing of the two. If you're voting in a worst food contest, and you like pizza more than hamburgers, you would then vote for hamburgers in that matchup. Get it? Got it? Good. Make the jump.
(12) Tanking The Season To Draft Andrew Luck
Ugh. Really, guys? This is the best thing we can think of? You don't like a draft pick? Well that's good, we can tank the season and draft Andrew Luck. What, we have to travel to Green Bay again? Tank the season to draft Andrew Luck. Alex Smith is our quarterback? He should lose games on purpose because that will be smart for him to do. Herp and derp and derp and herp, gents. That's all I have to say to you. I wash my hands of that silliness.
(13) Less Cheerleaders
Hey, now this isn't something I care too much about, but I can see where it's getting on some people's nerves. I mean, they used to be a big part of gameday, the camera used to give them plenty of time, now, in an effort to fit more advertising in, they're taking out the cheerleaders. Sometimes, the cameramen make a spirited effort to include the cheerleaders, and then the production crew cover it right up with a big, giant, Coors Light logo. It's actually pretty awful now that I really think about it. Less cheerleaders sucks.

badness of Ninersnation:
Ninjames’ refusal to have cheerleaders even when the article is about them.

I do love the cheerleaders
but tanking a season for a player that may not even do well next year is beyond me. Last year everyone was talking about Locker. That obviously changed. I also don’t believe in losing games on purpose for draft position because it’s just that ridiculous.

tanking the season
I even hated people last year talking about tanking a game to move up in the draft . . . even though we’d have ended up with Peterson.
less cheerleaders does suck but the real problem lies in the NFL’s failure to update cheerleader uniforms. In the 60s, 70s and 80s each decade showed enough skin to be considered soft core porn at the time. But for some reason in the 90s the development stopped. Now you see more skin in the maxipad commercials. Can’t really blame them for going with commercials until they change the uniforms to one piece bathing suits or less.
some people started to joke about tanking for Luck
what’s stupid is that some people actually suggested it seriously.
a couple posts ago someone actually posted about the possibility of Luck holding out for a trade next year ala Eli Manning (and Elway) and then going to the Niners. Really? Did that idea seem even remotely possible enough to post about? like the same possibility of Alien Invasion happening and then joining the NFL (intergalactic free agents? I like the sound of that!…NFC Andromeda Division???)
I’ve been saying for years that Baseball and Hockey need Cheerleaders….though for Hockey they maybe more like Ice Dancers.
who really cares abotu cheerleaders anymore...
…with the advent of online porn..
