Idiots Write About Sports

“Shameless link-whoring,” Mac Thomason sheepishly writes in the comments to this post. Perhaps, we respond, but a vital serice to a much-abused sports-viewing public nevertheless. And one we urge all three readers of The Idiot Sports Blog to visit early and often.
The gist:

Our task is simple: to determine, via a time-tested method (the 64-team elimination tournament as seen in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which ESPN used to show in its pre-sucking days) which ESPN broadcasting personality is the most totally loathsome and most deserves to suffer permanent paralysis of the vocal cords.

Seriously, Mac, did you think we would pass on the opportunity to kick sand in ESPN’s face? Are our ways really that mysterious to people?
So go. Vote. Vote now. Because if Mitch “Writing the lede on the way to the ballpark” Albom doesn’t trounce John Kruk in their first-round match-up, the five people you’ll meet in heaven will beat you savagely.
[Update: And now comes word that Idiot whipping boys Mitch Albom and Mike Lupica have lost their first-round match-ups. We denounce this turn of events! Why, it’s nothing but a goddamned popularity contest! Or… um… an unpopularity contest… or something.]
