Maybe I missed his name, but Christopher Russo would be a finalist for me. He and Stephen A.

 

Russo is awful... I guess he's just not relevant enough.

More relevant that Mariotti if you ask me. Also Clay Travis isn't relevant enough to be a 1 seed. I'd easily go 16 over 1 in that matchup.

 

I think Mariotti was so monumentally bad when he was relevant that he still comes to mind.

I have no idea what a "Clay Travis" is other than some weird hybrid of various country singers.

 

I don't know who he is, but I don't watch college sports at all so...

Same here. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt there.

The SBNation Twitter bros would be a Cinderella for me. The comment on their voting page about them pretty much all being the same person was absolutely spot-on.

The Sox are an over the top ridiculous horsefeathers show right now. And the Cubs are a shining beacon of all that's right with the world. horsefeathers shows are more interesting to talk about, especially in preseason when everybody is tired of the fluff pieces.

Brackets were light on baseball guys. Russo, Reynolds, Buck, Darling, and even Brian Kenny

I notice a lot of people hate Kenny. I realize he's a little douchey but I can't hate a guy who brings up advanced statistics as much as he does. I like him.

So with Gawker losing a $115m judgement to Hulk Hogan, how long until Deadspin goes offline?

I believe they started making huge cutbacks a year ago in preparation for this trial. They barely run any stories now anyway.

Yeah I don't get bringing him up. Also, buck is in there.

Stephan A Smith is in a league of his own, he wins that tourny without breaking a sweat. The only real challenger is Collin Cowheard, but Smith is so freaking terrible at everything it is not really a contest.

 

If they had a douchiest bracket I think Joe Buck would have to be a favorite to go all the way.

How is Jim Rome a 16 seed while Erin Andrews is a 5? I didn't see John Kruk or Harold Reynolds. These guys must really hate Around the Horn and PTI. I admit I like Highly Questionable. I don't think any of those guys take themselves too seriously.

Why is Erin Andrews on there at all?

I guess these guys are annoyed by sideline reporters. If you're making a list of most annoying people in sports commentary than you have to give more emphasis to the people that are hardest to avoid. A lot of these people are easily avoided by not listening to sports talk radio or watching anything on ESPN. It's pretty hard to avoid Joe Buck or John Kruk unless you watch the game with the volume turned down which just isn't the same.

But Erin Andrews is the least annoying sideline reporter. Outside of maybe her voice, there isn't really anything annoying about her.

The backlash to the backlash against Sutcliffe for talking about Erin Andrews skirt blowing up placed her in the crosshairs of a certain type of person.

I'd agree. I think they had this idea to make the bracket then they realized it was going to be hard to name 64 annoying people that most fans would recognize. Too bad that they forgot that baseball and hockey exist.

I'm going to say it was right since I think I stared at it for a good five minutes baffled by what they possibly would have to fix before I figured it out.
