TOO LATE, THIS IS OVER NOW! 2017 Ben Roethlisberger Football Douchebag of the Year: Dean Spanos and the Spanos Family 2017 Inductee into the Dan Snyder Memorial Douchievement Award of Excellence Hall of Fame: Penn State Fans Hi TFF Goons, it's that time of year again! Actual Football is still months away, the draft is long past, the frenzy of free agency trading is done, and now it is time to get together and decide in an extremely scientific and highly fair way which person and/or organization was the biggest loving douchebag of the last year. In prior years, BenHasTinyWeenus ran this thing. Last year he solicited help and like an idiot I volunteered, and so when he disappeared (possibly consumed by his very smart idea of getting married and opening his own restaurant at the same time) I sort of inherited the responsibility. OK, whatever, I am a "details oriented" kind of guy and I just loving love to make spreadsheets and abuse petty authority, so now I'm in charge and you will all do as I say. Your Douchebag 2016 champion: BAYLOR UNIVERSITY Here is last year's tournament bracket: The rules In accordance with established tradition, we will first have a period of nominations. eNOMINATIONS FOR DotY ARE NOW OVER. Anygoon can make any number of nominations, and in addition, you should post to "second" other goons' nominations. After the nomination period, I will build a tournament bracket consisting of the nominations that got the most "seconds." Unlike previous years, I will not specifically limit the contest to a 32-member bracket. Instead I'll make a reasonable decision about where the cutoff should be and build a bracket that works. That may mean we have some wildcard spots if we don't get a power of 2 number of nominations, but that's cool and fine. Eligibility Eligible nominees must be a person or group of people that meet these three criteria: #1: Football The nominee must be related to the sport of American Football in some reasonably direct way. #2: Douchebag The nominee must be douchebaggy. Douchebaggery is broadly defined by the thread consensus via voting, so I prefer not to try to spell out too specifically what the term means. However, by consensus we exclude from consideration crimes for which there was a conviction in a court of law. I'll go ahead and add anyone who has been charged with a crime for which trial is still pending, and anyone who engaged in severely gross behavior that we really need to avoid having some kind of terrible "debate" about, such as the Paterno/Sandusky thing. Please also recognize that we're doing this for fun and not to have a debate about for example what exactly constitutes consent for purposes of determining if a rape took place. That said, a certain amount of discussion about where to draw the line is OK, as long as it doesn't become a derail or start resulting in probations. #3: Of the Year The nominee must have done the douchebaggy thing during the period of May 19, 2016 through May 18, 2017. It's OK if they did douchebaggy things before or since, but you have to be able to call out douchebaggery that occurred during that period. #4: Not a member of the hall of fame Last year there was no Dan Snyder Memorial Douchievement Award of Excellence contest, probably because Ben intended to do it later and then I never did it. We'll rectify that this year, but anyway here are the members of the Douchebag Hall of Fame:
Special contest: Dan Snyder Memorial Douchievement Award of Excellence We missed it last year but we won't this year. Entirely separately from the Douchebag of the Year tournament, we will have a straight vote for a new inductee into the Douchebag Hall of Fame; think of it as a sort of Lifetime Achievement Award for douchebags. e NOMINATIONS FOR LIFETIME DOUCHIEVEMENT ARE STILL OPEN Eligibility for the Hall of Fame follows exactly the same rules as for the Douchebag of the Year, but with the following exception: Douchebaggery not limited to the last calendar year. Any football-related douchebag acts of the past may be considered. You can nominate some 1950s football douchebag if you want. Nominations and seconds will run for the entire thread, including during voting for the tournament brackets. I'll close nominations shortly after we name the Douchebag of the Year, and then we'll have our vote for the hall of fame. Hopefully this doesn't get too confusing. Only the top few nominees will be up for voting. Previously I think it's been four nominees. I'll let that be three or five or whatever if there is a clear cutoff between lots of seconds and a lot fewer seconds, but if there's no clear cutoff then it will be 4. How to Participate NOMINATIONS FOR DOTY ARE CLOSED, BUT NOMINATIONS FOR LIFETIME ARE STILL OPEN. To nominate a football douchebag (for either contest), you must at a bare minimum post in this thread: "Nomination," in BOLD. If you don't bold your post I might notice and count it, or I might not notice it and skip it, especially if it blends into the rest of the normal debate posts. Name of the douchebag or group of douchebags. Football Qualifications: how is this person or group related to football? Please don't just assume I know who this douchebag is. I especially don't know who most college football people are. Describe the Douchebaggery: you should post some convincing argument or at least link to one or more articles or something that explains how this person or group is such a douchebag. Even if you think everyone must already know, just write a sentence or two that specifically points to one or more acts that will qualify them for this contest. I need this info in order to post the tournament brackets so keep that in mind. To second a nomination (for either contest), make a post with the words "second" in bold and the name or names of whoever you are seconding. Merely emptyquoting someone else is not a vote or second. I will not attempt to interpret why you emptyquoted someone because it can signify disagreement or ridicule as well as agreement. Emptyquoting is also against the forums rules. If you totally agree with someone you can quote them and say (in bold) "seconded" or similar and I'll count that. Voting Rules Once we have all the nominations and the tournament begins, everyone will get to vote. VOTING HAS BEGUN HERE As usual, when the matches begin, I will paste player bios (written by you the voters or halfassed by me if there are non available) and let people vote on one match at a time every two or three days. You will pick your preferred douche and you should give the best argument that you can for why they should win over the other douche. Previously, Ben would weight peoples' votes on a scale of 1 to 5 depending on how much effort they put into their posts. Effortposts are great and important because they foster the debate that we should be having over who is the worst douchebag. However, the scale was pretty arbitrary and I found it hard to make rulings that I felt confident in. So this year I'm simplifying things thusly: If you just post a vote for a candidate, that's worth 1 point. If you make an effort to argue in favor or against a candidate along with your vote, that's worth 3 points. That's it, that's the whole thing. Merely quoting someone else's argument is still only worth 1 point. You have to add something to the discussion, whether that's doing some googling and posting something someone said online or a news article or some tweets, or just writing a couple of sentences explaining your opinion, I will credit you with 3 points. Furthermore unlike our former arbitrary tyrant BenHasTinyWeenus, I will post publicly how many points each vote got, so you can be sure that I am totally being fair. Here is the 2016 Douchebag Tracker Thread, which is a good source of reminders of douchebaggery that occurred over the last year. OK start your nominations.... now!

thrilla in vanilla posted:Not sure if he technically doesn't qualify or not, but Joe Mixon, for pretty obvious woman beating reasons. I've provisionally entered it. But: he pled no contest (which is a type of guilty plea), was given a deferred sentence and 1000 hours of community service plus mandatory counseling, and has settled the later civil suit. Furthermore, the beating incident took place in 2014. So, can you describe any Mixon acts of douchebaggery that took place between last May and now, and for which he has not faced a legal punishment?

Grittybeard posted:Eh, this is the spin Mixon's lawyers put on things but what actually happened was the court was going to compel the release of the video anyway and they tried to get out in front of things. Releasing the video could be considered douchebaggery, then? If so, did it happen during the last year? That'd be enough to qualify Mixon for nomination (and it would be up to the voters to decide how douchebaggy that was). all-Rush mixtape posted:This was all revealed in September, so I think it counts.

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?

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.

Alright kids, this time for realsies, NOMINATIONS FOR DOUCHEBAG OF THE YEAR ARE OVER and now we have to do a mass elimination to get us down to a playoff bracket that is a power of two, and here's how we're gonna do it. After including all nominees that got at least one second, we have six seed spots left open, and 11 nominees to fill them. So, we're gonna have an instant runoff round. Please read through the 11 nominees and then rank them in order of your preference, with the first-ranked nominee being the one you think is the most douchebaggy, and the 11th-ranked one being the one you think is the least douchebaggy. This voting round will run for about two days, and at the end, I'll tally up the votes and seed the top six into the remaining six spots. Unlike the rest of the tournament, you don't get extra voting points for your impassioned arguments; but you should make them anyway if you care at all about who gets in and who doesn't! So without further ado, here are your 11 douchebag candidates: Ryan Pace Zurreco posted:for actively and visibly trying to blow this year's draft. Knowing that he was on his way out, Pace refused to resign a bunch of good existing players, traded away a lot of the team's future picks to move up one (ONE) spot (that wasn't under contention) to pick up an unproven rookie QB after signing a veteran to a long deal, and using three of his remaining four draft picks to select players from lower division teams. He won't win, but gently caress Pace. Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter Zurreco posted:for entering a bidding war for TNF games. Seriously, please kill off TNF so we don't have to complain about 4 days rest or watching the Cowboys lose again on national TV. Kyle Shanahan sean10mm posted:I'm going to nominate Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, whose blundering playcalling gifted the Patriots their 5th Super Bowl. Then he tried to explain it away with the stupidest "We played that game the way we played the entire year" TEAM IDENTITY bullshit in the history of everything, and was promptly Chargers Front Office aperion posted:That said, I'm going to also nominate the Chargers Front Office for causing the holdout of Joey Bosa, the very first rookie holdout since the 2011 CBA was agreed upon, showing that the Chargers are somehow able to gently caress up negotiations on something that's 98% structured already by said CBA. Link to some comments by John Spanos on the holdout. Chuck Staben all-Rush mixtape posted:Oh, this happened a while back, but Chuck Staben, the President of the University of Idaho, for moving the Vandals down to FCS.

That results in them effectively having a second, which got them an automatic seed. But I forgot to remove them from the list at the bottom of the post.

Dilfer was among the first batch of employees recently axed as ESPN has radically cut staffing. Bruce Allen Bruce Allen is the team president of the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). Allen abdicated his title of general manager after the Redskins hired Scot McCloughan to be their general manager on January 7, 2015.

'Round back in the turn of the century this guy let a generational D carry him to a SB and thinks he's hot poo poo. In truth gently caress this guy Mike. I've had bowel movements that have made tighter spirals than this guy. sean10mm posted:It looks like a dog pile but I'll just say Dilfer. TRENT DILFER WINS! By a fairly lopsided score of 29-8.
