Jim Murray. A six-time tournament contestant, a 2022 Four You Deplore participant, and now the Felger & Mazz third banana is the second member of that show to win the whole shebang. Thanks to the Collaborative, the Selection Committee, and especially all the voters. We will see you when we see you.
It all comes down to this, who shall be crowned the worst local mediot between these two 98.5 The Sports Hub call screeners/third bananas? Polls will close at 9 PM EDT.
And so the Championship Round is set with the closest Four You Deplore vote margin in Tournament history, with a stunning rally from Team JStew to keep Greg Bedard from possibly repeating as champ, and a Ted Johnson comeback coming up one vote short against Large Gymnasium.
Championship will be Thursday, but today is the consolation match. Who do you like? Or dislike?
Update: Oh yes, the polls will close, RIGHT NOW! (Jerod Mayo idiotic laugh) No, they will close at 8PM EDT. Thank you.
And now, there are four. The Four you Deplore. The Four you abhor. The Four you can’t stand no more. You get it. Polls will close at 8 PM EDT.
It’s all building up to something. Eight very hateable media members soon will be reduced to four. By your votes. Polls will close at 9 PM EDT.
Update: Polls will close temporarily at 12:30 PM EDT to deal with voting irregularity issues. Thank you in advance.
2nd Update: Done.
You read the preview, now cast your vote! Polls to remain open until 8:00 PM EDT.
Welcome to Round 3 of March Sadness 2026, when the true pieces of shit separate themselves from the turds.
If you were expecting a “Sour Sixteen” preview, then we have one word for you… SORRRRRREY! It’s now the “Sorry Sixteen” © ℠ ® ™ Patent Pending. And a very sorry preview it is…
Region C
1 Greg Bedard vs 5 Dan Shaughnessy
It took overtime for Shank to sneak into the Sour Sorry Sixteen by the skin of his McTeeth. Look for Bedard to kick his balls up around his head.
2 Fred Toucher vs 3 Adam Jones
Fred Toucher spent a lot of time last week defending himself against accusation of racism. You know who doesn’t spend a lot of time defending themselves against accusations of racism? Non-racists. He doth protest too much advances.
Region V
1 Jim Murray vs 12 Chris Curtis
Advancing to the Sour Sixteen may be the second most shocking thing Curtis has ever done, but Large Gymnasium wins the battle of the bald middle aged dimwitted overconfident flash boys.
2 Marc Bertrand vs 3 Andy Hart
The Far Side kid burns lil’ Andy with his magnifying glass
Region N
1 Gabrielle Starr vs 4 Kevin F Paul Dupont
The woman in sports snips KPD’s sports manhood
2 James Stewart vs 3 Michael Felger
Jimmy Stewart gives Felger the Lavanchy treatment.
Region T
1 Ted Johnson vs 5 Scott Zolak
We will finally get an answer to a question that has been confounding medical experts for decades: Which causes more long term cognitive issues, head trauma or substance abuse? We’ve got good news, you can keep doing drugs kids, CTEd snowplows Zo.
2 Chris Gasper vs 3 Albert Breer
Breer sends Kid Gas to the golden showers.
Vote early and often!
