Look at his post right after; he realized he misunderstood, and he then explained about his diarrhea. Yes, we want the people who we can't stand the most to win. I'm gonna be sad if Steve makes it to the next round.

I'd say the same if the Beltran/Boras seed doesn't make the Final Four. They will have to face the Karla/Flopton/j*zz seed to go all the way, and considering what site this is, that shouldn't happen. Which of the two did you mean to pick between Ford and Daly? I know they both can be quite unbearable, but only one can move on. If you see this thread again before the deadline, then I'll count your vote. I guess your point about Miceli has some validity to it, but he had 3 playoff losses last season, and gave up TWO game ending home runs against the Cardinals - unforgettable, unacceptable, unforgiveable.
Bracket A 1) Karl Malone / John Stockton / Utah Jazz Can I just vote for the Not-so-ambiguously gay duo? Or replace Jazz with Jerry Sloan?

At first it was way too time consuming because I was trying to determine the best way to count the votes. I got a good system down, though, and I love doing the tournament threads, it's fun.
rockets#1, I want Chad Ford to advance. The **********. I also meant to add that the reason I picked mainstream rap is because it makes most people hate rap. Then they miss out on awesome hip-hop like The Roots, Hieroglyphics, MF Doom, Tribe Called Quest, etc. so on and so forth.
1) Karl Malone / John Stockton / Utah Jazz I know it puts me in the minority here, but I dislike the Utah Jazz, and was never a fan of their pick and rolling walking STD's. 8) The Cast of "The View" (Star Jones, Barbara Walters, etc.) I love women, except when they are under the influence of stuff like this show and Oprah Winfrey. 5) Michael Jackson Axl is an annoying prick, but Mikey does inappropriate things with children for God's sake...course I had and liked Thriller in its heyday. 13) Lindsay Lohan My ex-girlfriend forced me to see Mean Girls...Lindsay has a tiny, tiny bit of talent and a nice rack, Ashlee doesn't even have that much. 11) Judge Judy Fran Dresher has an annoying voice...big deal. Judy is responsible for all the other even less talented Judge shows. American Idol Judges Simon Cowell doesn't let me watch him have sex...and I want to sooo bad. 7) Dr. Phil Howard Stern is titilating for people too meek to go in a p*rn store. Phil has completely sold out his frigging gender... Also he has a best selling diet book....HAS NO ONE ELSE NOTICED HE IS FAT?!? 2) Eddie Griffin (Former Rocket) I agree with the consensus, Spongebob didn't cost us 3 frigging draft picks Bracket B 1) Carlo$ Beltran / Scott Boras I don't blame em for chasing the $...but they needed to tell us early so we could have gotten a frigging free agent 8) Bill O’Reily I'm a lib, sue me. 5) Carrot Top Not much worse than a completely talentless comic. All his net worth should be confiscated and given to our own Mr. Washington...at least he is funny. 4) Wannabe Punk/Pop Bands (My Chemical Romance, Yellowcard, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, etc.) Babs isn't my favorite but my mom would kick my ass if I voted for her, and my mom is tough. 6) New York Yankees / George Steinbrenner 3) Britney Spears 7) National play-by-play announcers (instead of Bill & Calvin) 2) NBA Refs (think HOU vs. SEA 1st matchup this season) Richard Simmons is a harmless queen who turns a few bucks helping people lose weight...the NBA Refs are Yao hating satan spawn. Bracket C 1) Scottie Pippen If it weren't for MJ, Scottie Pippen would be as revered in NBA circles as say Scottie Brooks. One of the 50 greatest all time my ass. 8) David Letterman Both overrated 5) Martha Stewart 4) Jar-Jar Binks (most hated "Star Wars" character) Hey I understand that it was just my relative age at the time that made me love R2D2 and hate Jar Jar....but C Love does an adequite job of punishing herself and needs no help from me. 11) Justin Timberlake I find it especially amusing when members of the Boy Band Tribe try to toughen up by using their initials (This is Mr. JT....or NKOTB...or whatever, still he screwed Britney and I didn't so he's got that to comfort him in his slow slide to obscurity) 3) Stephen A. Smith (ESPN analyst) I have only seen Queer Eye twice...but I thought it was sort of a hoot. But then my credentials as a hetero has always been questionable...I do theater for God's sake. 7) "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest This overblown talent show has America by the short and curlies, and i'll never know why. 2) Barry Bonds Terrel is mouthy but he doesn't cheat. Also that thing with the Cowgirls star will forever endear him to me. Bracket D 16) "Fear Factor" host Joe Rogan Steve tried hard for us. 9) Telemarketers Its a really crappy job...I was a telemarketer once...my self loathing was great. 5) Anakin Skywalker (Episode I & II version) Keanu is aware he is a ****ty actor and doesn't try to stretch too much, thus he is servicable when not miscast. 4) Boy Bands (Backstreet Boys, N’Sync, etc.) Anna is an annoying golddigger, but she used to be hot, and she did make Playboy safe for non Anorexia Nervosa types...for that she has my gratitude. 11) Clay Aiken (dorky American Idol loser ) Nuff Said 14) Carson Daly (former host of MTV's TRL) Carson has nailed a lot more hot chicks than I have...and his existance annoys me, please kill him now. 10) Jose Canseco Its easy to ignore the Garnett for Baker proposals...you don't narc out your teammates. 2) Dan Miceli That was some mighty poor playoff pitching. _____________

I originally said 8:00 tonight, but I might just go ahead and end it a little earlier because it seems like all the people who are going to participate have done so. EDIT: Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and end this round; my last post is the final results for round 1. The next round will be up shortly.
