You have at least 24hrs, and if it's not a blowout win by that point, I let it run to at least 48. I close the voting at whatever point after that that I get around to it.

Whitlock's impact is that he provides cover to other douches, like McNair, for their douchiness.

Besides, we don't want two douche owners in the final to steal each other's votes.

Whitlock. he willingly goes on white supremacist’s shows to give them cover to poo poo all over minorities and stuport the idea that police brutality doesn’t exist. He was especially gross toward kaep this year.

McNair, why go for the stooge when you can have the high douche himself? Also, "the inmates running the asylum."

McNair is clearly the more influential person here since the only people who seem to know or care about Whitlock are a handful of posters on SA, which is pathetic. Meanwhile, McNair actively damages his and other players’ lives at every turn because he sincerely wishes they were slaves.

Jason Whitlock for his Hate-on for Colin Kaepernick and for being the standout insufferable rear end in a top hat on the network for assholes.

Officially not allowed but you could for example try to find someone to trade votes with you like, you vote how they want you to vote this round and then they vote how you want them to vote in the final. They could renege on their word though so you have to find someone you can trust.

Buddy, let me tell you about McNair's hate on for Kaep, so much that he's led to a defacto collusion to disallow the guy from being signed.

Bob McNair

Not only is the dude a massive loving racist, but he is practically the personification of evil. He looks like the villain in Disney movie who steals a puppy from a child in a wheelchair. Hell, he looks like the final boss in one of the recent Wolfenstein games.




Whitlock may say some terrible poo poo on some cable show a handful of people watch, but McNair is the kind of douche who has the ability to carry out the terrible poo poo he speaks of (See, in part, the trading of Duane Brown). He's less vocal than Whitlock, but far, far more impactful, which in my eyes, make him a far bigger douche than some idiot who used to occasionally fill in on PTI.

OK well that's it! Bob McNair wins, 32-16.

Please stand by while I put together the three-way final for douchebag of the year, and let's take this moment to remember that this is the last couple days to nominate anyone for lifetime achievement. It's OK if you don't think they can beat Trump, because just being nominated is a notable dishonor.

JERRY JONES
This shitbag subverted his own employee's attempts to protest injustice and turned it into a show of unity and support for himself, a billionaire.


KEVIN SMITH
This shitbag dragged Reuben Foster into court on charges he knew were bullshit, because he cares more about his career than he does about actual justice.



BOB MCNAIR
This shitbag called his own employees "inmates in the asylum," in reference to their desire to protest, and then apologized, and then retracted his apology. Also a billionaire.

Each of these privileged white men are in possession of an outsized level of power, with which, as Spider-Man's uncle told him, comes great responsibility. This past year, they each abused or disregarded that responsibility, for venal and possibly racist reasons. They are all, unquestionably, douchebags of the highest order. Now, you must choose between them: which was the Football Douchebag of the Year?

This is a three-way instant-runoff election! Don't just pick one winner. Instead, rank your choices. After three full days, I will sort all votes by top rank; if one of the three has more than half of all top-ranked votes, he wins. If not, I will eliminate the man with the fewest top-rank votes, and assign those voters' votes to their #2 pick. Then, the remaining #1 picks plus the assigned #2 picks will be added to determine the winner. The third guy you list is just the one you'll never give votes to, so really only the first two you pick matter, but we'll list all three to avoid confusion.

Feel free to post why you're voting a particular way; however, for this instant runoff, there's no vote scaling. It's just a straight poll.

Example of how to vote:

My votes are:
1. Bob McNair
2. Jerry Jones
3. DA Kevin Smith


This means my first pick for Douchebag of the Year is Bob McNair. If he's eliminated by instant runoff, then my vote goes to Jerry Jones instead. Kevin Smith doesn't get my vote no matter what.

OK: GO!

1. Jerry playing both sides of the kneeling anthem situation, but lands solidly on "stand for the flag" tribe. Disingenuous as well as eventually on the wrong side of history.
2. McNair is just Jerry but more vocal with his racism.
3. Perverted justice with his overzealous attempt to convict an innocent man. Bonus points for reinforcing negative race stereotypes of a white man trying to bury a black man.

If ya can move ya toes ya back's fine
Keeping in mind, this is a contest about douchebaggery, not evil:

--RE: Kevin Smith, prosecuting and pressing charges on someone you KNOW for a fact is innocent for the sake of your career I would say is much more evil than douchey.

--RE: Bob McNair, regardless of racism, even when taking away his personal opinions, in terms of douchiness--making a public apology at the height of your controversy and then retracting it (in public, again) after the heat dies down is the specific kind of douchebaggery that wins DBOTY.

--RE: Jerry Jones, the whole standing-and-locking arms when Jerry knew which side he was backing all along...like McNair, pure distilled douche. It's tough to call.

So my final vote:


#1 Jerry Jones
#2 Bob McNair
#3 Kevin Smith (DA)


Just for the fact that Jerry was willing to get a photo op of him locking arms with his players after being one of the principal owners trying to stab the NFLPA in the back pushes him over the top.
At least McNair wasn't enough of a douche to try and pretend he was sincere in the first place.

This one is tough.

1.Jones cause he's a racist who also wants credit for it.

2.McNair just racist.

3.Smith a terrible person, but not really a football person.

Jerry Jones A Hall of Famer.
