Ironically, drinky's awful reading of the teaser(s) for the Tournament Of Bad need to be at least a 2 seed. It's absolutely now been proven, as fact, that his "mocking" of the CBS Sports Minutes was not schtick - that's just how he reads copy into a microphone. BRUTAL. I truly wonder why Dan hasn't ordered him to go for a neurological exam, something has gone wrong with that dude's brain.

That said, I do basically enjoy the TOB. There is always dumb things put in there (that cater to Dan's stupid hangups), but the concept is at least fun. What's not fun is how aroused drinky gets over his own work.

TUNE IN TODAY STARTING AT 2PM for the big reveal of the #TOB2014 seedings!

They said they aren't taking any nominee suggestions from listeners this year, because last year's were "so bad." Isn't that the point?

It's a simple extension of the radio show - Dan, and his parrot Terry, don't care what you (the caller and/or listener) think. They know the truth. They have the "right" opinions. You're simply wasting their time by trying to contribute. They. Don't. Care.

It sucked from the get go

I'm out.

has this thing gone meta yet and finally inserted itself into the tournament? i think that's around the point it becomes self-aware and gets revamped/rebooted/changed-into-something-else...

nah, they'd include "tournament of bad" as an entry in the tournament of bad and just keep on going forever. you know how things become "flagship" segments on the score: they're just kind of there for a long time and then ~10yrs later you're like "holy shit they've done this for awhile" and then next thing you know it's referred to as a beloved institution/staple of the score..... just like who ya crappin.

/me relishes his memories of mike north's short-lived caning segment. and of course, the greatest recurring segment in the history of the score: "who is taking a hit off of michael phelps' bong?" --- i can still hear hampton groaning over the fact he had to do this like i just heard it minutes ago.

I don't get why they bother with 'play-in games'. This isn't an actual thing, man, it's just a bracket. And a bracket looks better without the play-in.

Is it just me or is the website just an endless loop of loading the header on and on down the page?

dan bernstein as a #9 seed, strongest one in the history of the tournament... any way he doesnt win (unless they rig the vote?)

How does Jim Belushi not making it in? I think he has made the tournament every year.

They should just announce the field - which can be funny - then just announce a winner.

The actual voting process is death. But....sponsors.

Lena Dunham, Wishing Thoughts and Prayers, and Ben Affleck as Batman could pull a few upsets. College Football Signing Day is a strong 15 but Bears Safeties is too tough to beat.

Was there ever a CSFMB tourney of bad? Might be fun. It would be way more entertaining than the circle jerk grab ass tourney done every year.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

What I hate about this is that the voters are invariably super B&B ass-lickey. Incognito more bad than creationists? Come on.

I'm thinking the Bernsie ALS would actually have a tough time with that one.

Not at all. Dan's very anti-creationist, but Incognito is straight-up Satan to Dan. Dan ranks Incognito right up there with Hitler, and that's not even an exaggeration. I believe Dan would pick Incognito to win.

bernstein hates physically brutish bullies like Incognito because they have the ability to rip his fucking head off. That ability frightens dan because it compromises his own effectiveness as the emotional bully he is and usually results in him bleating about alerting the authorities and lawyering up.

And sure enough, Wrigley rooftop owners take out potholes, despite this year's potholes being the worst thing ever.

Fuck them for slightly inconveniencing Theo, all so they just won't have to take million-dollar losses! They are evil beyond description!

That is what I was getting for a few days so I just gave up trying to find it.

They should just have a Jim Belushi region and be done with it that way he is there every year as a default.

Jim Belushi in the TOB is like Duke in the real Tournament.
