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.
