Supermike Region - First Round

We admit. We’re a little tired now. It’s not like we have anything better to do, though. We might as well get these posts up and running so when they inevitably crash the wordpress server, we’ll be fast asleep and nobody will complain. Huge shout-out to the AS for all the crazy HTML work done to help you guys vote by just clicking on the name. See how easy? Ahhh… so nice.

Remember, it is you - the fan - that makes Deadspin the community that it is. You make it the underground. You make it the revolution. You make it completely unbearable. Did I say unbearable? I meant unbelievable.

Yes I know we confuse pronouns a lot. We’re not perfectionists. Only I am. Let’s get to the match-ups.

Supermike Region

1.) Ukraine Not Weak vs. 16.) Rock You Like an Iracane

Ukraine Not Weak was a little surprised about his No. 1 seed. So were we. When we asked the committee what they were thinking, they mentioned something about the Eastern Bloc and $2 billion and gun smuggling. We find it best not to get involved in foreign affairs. Rock You Like an Iracane has both a great sounding name, and is a play off our own comment guru: Mr. Iracane. Without him, well… more people would be at Deadspin. It’s crowded enough, thanks.

8.) J-No vs. 9.) Mitch Kayak

J-No vs. Mitch Kayak. Both posters have long been respected. Both posters have long paid their dues. Both posters are praying for a first round upset up above.

5.) Yostal vs. 12.) Kataroo_Kangaroo

Well well well… what happens when Class meets Ass? Yostal is one of the most enlightening posters in the field. He’s dangerous in that he is very likable. He is a potential darkhorse. HOWEVA, NO ONE CAN RESIST THE CHEEZY DOODLE GOODNESS THAT IS THE KANGAROO SCANDALOUS PHOTO DROP. QUITE FRANKLY, SHE IS ONE OF THE LOVELIEST LADIES DEADSPIN HAS EVA SEEN!

4.) Innings Eater vs. 13.) Fiddling While Jim Rome Burns

Innings Eater is a consistent performer capable of delivering some seriously side-splitting stuff. Fiddling While Jim Rome Burns is a Deadspin fixture, serving up high quality comedy since before high quality comedy was cool.

3.) Lingering Bursitis vs. 14.) Lizabelle

Look, to this day, I still do not know what bursitis is. However, it doesn’t sound too fun. And if it’s lingering? Well… maybe you should have a doctor look at that. Lizabelle is the distant cousin of Lizalicious. And by distant cousin, we mean pretty much the same person. Each of these commenters has a cherished history, and whoever advances will do the commentariat proud.

6.) Tuffy vs. 11.) Berto: The Sequel

Berto 2: Electric Boogaloo hasn’t been given much of a shot to succeed at the Ballot Box. But in a world where Sequels are never as good as the original, Berto stands tall. Tuffy simply destroys everything in sight, and should provide a stiff match. Hehe hehe… stiff.

7.) 289 vs. 10.) Civil Negligence

Much of that brilliant artwork you see around the Sports Blogosphere stems from the creative genius of 289. Another Upstate NY hero (gotta rep my homeland) he has since moved on to greener and more lucrative pastures. Much respect. Civil Negligence has perhaps the finest commenting name in the field. His wordsmithing skills don’t slouch, either. A fantastic early-round appetizer.

2.) Lady Andrea vs. 15.) Dr. Michael Mancini

The highest ranked of the Ladies… LA is a legend. She hits up upset-minded Dr. Mike, the only Doctor in the field. With the amount of mental health issues running wild at Deadspin, perhaps a Doctor in the later rounds would be just… uhhh… what the doctor, ummm… ordered? Don’t hate me because I’m unoriginal.
