In the first round I cruised to an easy victory over TULOWITZKI CATCHES BALL WITH BAT, 629 votes to 189. This morning, Internet subscriber jimboch weighed in:

Whereas in every other bracket we are heading towards epic 1 vs. 2 matchups, I could see anything winning this one. Overconfident Jeremy Shockey is great, but he’s a snitch. And you know what they say about snitches!

They leave you in stitches! Ha! Haha! What a wonderful GIF!

(9) Hi. My name is DANIEL SEDIN, PACIFIST HERO.

I advanced to the second round after surviving a hard-fought match against RYAN HOWARD’S PERSONAL TROLL, 481 to 312. Popular consensus might tell you otherwise, but Daniel Sedin is such a badass here. It takes the most rare sort of total badass to take punch after punch after punch and not give two halves of a shit.

VOTE!
