Colin Cowherd for Douche HoF. Guy couldn't stop saying stupid poo poo and eventually took out the entire Dominican Republican, which ironically is the kind of racism that qualifies you to work for Fox. Also, he said Sean Taylor was a gang banger and that's why he got shot. Even after it came out that it was a home invasion, he doubled down on his comments.

Second. gently caress Cowherd.

Jed York deserves a lifetime nomination for Being Jed York, firing Harbaugh, and being Jed York.

Every man likes a pretty girl with him at a skeleton dance.
I nominate for the HOF the horrible institution of "scholarly" achievement Florida State University for the following non-Jamies Winston reasons:

* Inconsistency in punishment of student athletes who were charged with felony crimes - Peter Warrick and Laverenous Coles both got caught ship lifting from a department store. Basically a clerk was in on it and gave them free clothes. Warrick at the time was the star player, potential Heisman candidate, and future Bengal got suspended. Coles? Booted from the team.

* The creation of the "Deon Sanders Rule" - PrimeTime Neon Deon Sanders basically said lol gently caress school and didn't attend classes or take his finals the entire fall semester prior to his star performance at the 1989 Sugar Bowl. The athletic department knew and didn't care until it came out afterwards and the state legislature had to make a law that basically says "if you want play in a bowl game you have to complete the fall term".

* Systematic Academic Fraud - 27 student athletes across 9 sports cheated on tests and quizzes for online courses they never "attended" but needed to maintain GPA. While not as expansive as the UNCLE issues, this is beyond the scope of just the football team.

These three things span the 80s, 90s, and 00s. FSU deserves your vote for the Hall of Fame because of a long standing tradition enshrining athletics over scholarship, stars over JAGs, and ensuring that even the simplest of athletes stay on the field. It is my hope that you'll agree and join me in recognizing the true degree of douchiness that FSU has strived for decades to achieve will finally be recognized by this esteemed body.

If ya can move ya toes ya back's fine
I'm nominating Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell for the Douchiest response to drafting a player with multiple domestic assault incidents (of the many this year):

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2706607-nfl-draft-shows-the-league-is-still-clueless-about-domestic-violence

quote:

This weekend, Oklahoma receiver Dede Westbrook was picked by the Jaguars in the fourth round. He has multiple accusations of violence against him involving the mother of his children. Though Westbrook was not convicted of a crime, the stories are ugly, involving allegedly throwing the woman to the ground and, at another time, punching her in the face.

When asked if he was concerned about the public image of the Jaguars after picking such a controversial player, general manager Dave Caldwell told reporters (according to statements distributed by the team): "I think we have done our due diligence enough to realize that is behind him and that, like we said, all of those charges were dropped. I think we all have been accused of things, not all of us, but many of us have been accused of things. We don't take it lightly. Obviously it is a serious issue, and we just feel like at this point in time to give the kid a chance to make it right."

I don't know many people accused of physically beating a woman multiple times.

But that's just me.

Caldwell's remarks, easily, make up one of the stupidest quotes of the draft.

Some franchises removed Westbrook off their boards, according to sources. But clearly not the Jaguars.

"The charges were dropped," Caldwell said. "There were no charges, never evolved into anything—2013 was the last one, so we felt like that stuff was behind him."

Well maybe since it was 4 years ago he has matured and changed, keeping himself out of trouble oh wait...

https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/co...plaints-2012-13

quote:

Westbrook has twice been involved with police in his hometown of Cameron, Texas, in 2016.
...
Westbrook was arrested for trespassing on May 23. Westbrook was visiting the property resident's daughter, according to the police report, but all parties knew he was not allowed to be there because of a past altercation. Westbrook was subjected to racial slurs but remained cooperative and followed a patrol car to the sheriff's station, where he was booked into Milam County Jail for misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

So, nominations seem to have slowed way down. Here's the current list of DotY nominees, sorted by numbers of seconds:

Dean Spanos and fam
Tom Brady
Brent Musberger
Joe Mixon
Frank Clark
Brock Osweiler
Marvin Lewis
Vontaze Burfict
Pacman Jones
Patriots fans
Trent Dilfer
Bruce Allen
Patriots social media manager
Clay Travis
The Cincinnati Bengals
Ryan Pace

Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter
Donald Trump
Kyle Shanahan
Mark Davis
Chargers Front Office
Chuck Staben
Jason Whitlock
Chargers Cheerleaders Jackoff Guard
Ladainian Tomlinson
Tyler Eifert
Dre Kirkpatrick
Shawn Williams
Bill Belichick
Bob Kraft
Dave Caldwell

Only the first fifteen entries have any seconds: everyone from Ryan Pace on down have zero seconds. There's a total of 31 entries on the list, which I could definitely build a tournament out of, but I think it'd be cool to get the list narrowed down a bit by accumulating some more seconds. Alternatively, I can work with 32, so...

I hereby Nominate:

Darren Rovell, football "journalist" tweeter/commentator, for DotY, for this: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/04/bomani-jones-espn-darren-rovell-wonderlic-test-scores-shaming-nfl-draft
and then the follow up, in which he takes the test and admits he was full of poo poo without actually apologizing at all or admitting that outing players' scores (which are supposed to be confidential) was a lovely thing to do. http://awfulannouncing.com/espn/darren-rovell-wonderlic-condensed-version.html

And for icing on the cake, http://www.excellesports.com/news/skylar-diggins-calls-out-espns-darren-rovell/ in which Rovell I guess figured women's basketball doesn't count as a sport

probably a good argument could be made for Rovell to get a lifetime award?

Rovell really nails the douche archetype, though: unlikeable, loud, petty, humorless, vindictive, cowardly, small, impotent, oblivious, pointless, and baselessly confident...but all while never actually doing real damage or breaking any laws. The very worst that Rovell has ever done and will ever do is be a mosquito buzzing in your ear.

If you're not sure if a person or an action is douchey, ask What Would Rovell Do and you'll have your answer. He is the Platonic form of douche and he absolutely should be on the trophy here because it would be a shame not to leverage his brand here.

There are approximately 19 nomiations that have zero seconds. I don't really see a way to include some but not all of them into a tournament bracket without being arbitrarily tyrannical and just picking my own (basically by seconding some of them myself). My inclination is to be inclusive. Does anyone object?

I think we should wrap up nominations in the next day or two and move on to the tournament.
