1. Jerry Jones: He pretends to love and care for his players, but in reality he's a two-faced snake out for his interest alone. I loathe this man. A true Hall of Fame douche.

2. Bob McNair: Apology retractment is textbook douchebag. He is also a purveyor of tonedeaf racism.

OK well... I guess 25 people voting is all we're gonna get.

first count:
Jerry Jones: 12 "1" votes
DA Kevin SMith: 5 "1" votes
Bob McNair: 8 "1" votes

No candidate has a majority. DA Kevin Smith has the fewest "1" votes, and is eliminated. The five goons who voted "1" for Smith have their votes go to their respective 2s.

All five voted Jerry Jones as their #2.
Second count
Jerry Jones: 12 "1" votes + 5 "2" votes = 17
Bob McNair: 8 "1" votes + 0 "2" votes = 8



Jerry Jones Wins!!!

Here he isssss, Mr. Douchebaaaggg

where are all the passionate jerry jones dislikers now? They didn't truly care. vote and move on.

OK I admit I forgot about this for like two days, sorry.

Vote for the lifetime achievement award. This is a three-way instant-runoff contest, just like the previous one! Here are your contestants:

President of the United States of America Donald J. Trump

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

In September 1983, Trump purchased the New Jersey Generals—an American football team that played in the United States Football League (USFL). After the 1985 season, the league folded largely due to Trump's strategy of moving games to a fall schedule where they competed with the NFL for audience, and trying to force a merger with the NFL by bringing an antitrust lawsuit against the organization.

During his presidency, Trump has repeatedly weighed in on the anthem kneeling controversy. In every case, he has been harshly critical of players who choose to kneel in general, and Colin Kaepernick in particular. He has publicly demanded owners to harshly punish kneelers, called them traitors, demanded they be fired, etc. For Trump, the kneeling controversy is unfailingly an opportunity for him to be performatively "patriotic" while throwing red meat to his base. He even once sent his Vice President to a game specifically to be offended by kneelers so he could then make a big deal out of leaving. Last year (that is, during the 2016-17 contest period) Trump vocally interfered in Kaep's job prospects, saying that people would not hire Kaep because they were afraid of a negative tweet from Trump, which was probably partly true. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18964343/donald-trump-takes-shot-colin-kaepernick-free-agent-status

Trump has also reacted negatively and like a giant baby whenever some or all of the members of championship teams, including superbowl winners, have declined to visit the white house. He's gone so far as to disinvite the Eagles after it became clear most of them would not care to participate in a self-congratulatory Presidential-fellatio session.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1003832766511894528

For Trump's repeated and ongoing obsession with making football objectively worse, he is a candidate for a Lifetime Douchievement Award.



Jason Whitlock


https://deadspin.com/coworker-athletes-give-jason-whitlock-poo poo-for-critici-1795762576
This is about LeBron, but I'm admitting it into evidence because gently caress Jason Whitlock, and this is an example of how he behaves.

https://deadspin.com/how-jason-whitlock-is-poisoning-espns-black-grantland-1698683962

quote:

Last fall, for instance, when white St. Louis Cardinals fans were filmed shouting “Go back to Africa!” and the like at an anti-police brutality demonstration, Whitlock criticized them by noting that “to ignore the obvious inappropriate/trolling behavior of the black protesters is a form of hipster-approved white supremacy that is equally dangerous.” In a December follow-on, he compared coverage of police violence against blacks to that of missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370, ridiculed black parents who have “the talk” with their teenaged sons about how to interact with police, and mused on the benefits of Jim Crow. (This is the one he placed right alongside Ta-Nehisi Coates’s epic case for reparations on his “great content” list.)

These aren’t outliers; they are expressions of the priors—“his stupid black neocon poo poo,” one ESPN colleague calls it—the site is meant to defend.

quote:

On March 10, in the wake of a video leaking of Oklahoma University Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members singing a song that contained the lyrics, “There’ll never be a friend of the family in SAE,” Whitlock penned his first column in over three months.

It was typical Whitlock. He sidestepped any real criticism of the SAE brothers and instead trained his eye on blacks’ role in provoking white racism. He used a video of an OU linebacker’s profane, pained response to the video as evidence of how a 50-year “unrelenting attack on Dr. King’s dignified, nonviolent strategy to circumvent white supremacy swept up black millennials, too.”
...
Whitlock went on, blaming Ronald Reagan and, of all people, long-dead rapper Eazy-E for having inspired the “Selfie Generation, the most photographed and least reflective generation of young people America has ever produced.”

Yeah, he's a huge piece of poo poo, and has been for multiple years. And if we don't give him a lifetime douchievement award now, he's gonna be eligible for douchebag of the year again next year, undoubtedly, and we'll have to talk about him again.

Chichevache posted:

God herself for creating us with the flaw of mortality.

Leperflesh posted:

God may or may not exist, but I don't feel as though my skepticism on the matter should disqualify that entity. Assuming Chiche is referring to the Abrahamic deity, this event was not in the past year, so I've entered God for the Hall of Fame. Of course this means that God is going to be beaten by Trump, I'm not quite sure how we feel about that.

This is stretching the rules though, because Chiche's described reason for nominating God is only loosely connected to Football. In as much as all football players eventually must die (except Adam Vinatieri, who is immortal), anyway, I'm provisionally allowing it.

Basically, whose fault is it that Football exists, and that humanity is flawed, and therefore Football is flawed? If God is to be thanked for every touchdown, should God not be blamed for every interception... and by extension, for every concussion, every beer-sotted violent idiot fan, and every Kaepernick-fueled tweet by the President? Didn't God create Jason Whitlock, and shouldn't God therefore be responsible, ultimately, for all of that douchebaggery?

Much of this comes down to the age-old debate about free will, of course, and so you will have to decide the matter with your votes.


As before, use this sort of format:
1. Jason Whitlock
2. God
3. Donald Trump
.

Also, and I sincerely mean this, the above nomination of God for the Lifetime Douchechievement Award is in no way intended to offend those of a religious nature, and if anyone is genuinely offended I apologize in advance.
