Kicking off the 2009 Culture Tournament
2009 Culture Tournament March 11th. 2009, 9:00am
We’ve done this each of the last two years, although our internet skills in 2007 were so poor that we simply posted a bracket and didn’t actually conduct voting. (The idea sprang from a hilarious bracket we saw in the New York Times in 2006). Our winner last year was ESPN sideline princess Erin Andrews (she handily defeated Tony Romo’s girlfriend), but defending her crown will be much more difficult than what Kansas will be up again later this month. Here’s the entire bracket.
We’ll leave each game’s voting open for a few days.
No. 1 Erin Andrews vs. No. 16 Christina Hendricks
- Erin Andrews (60%, 1,124 Votes)
- Christina Hendricks (40%, 760 Votes)
Total Voters: 1,884
Loading …(If you’re wondering who Christina Hendricks is.)
No. 8 Colin Cowherd vs. No. 9 Scott Van Pelt
- Scott Van Pelt (87%, 886 Votes)
- Colin Cowherd (13%, 130 Votes)
Total Voters: 1,016
Loading …No. 5 Nick Saban vs. No. 12 Bill Belichick
- Bill Belichick (62%, 645 Votes)
- Nick Saban (38%, 389 Votes)
Total Voters: 1,034
Loading …No. 4 Blake Griffin vs. No. 13 Sam Bradford
- Blake Griffin (68%, 675 Votes)
- Sam Bradford (32%, 316 Votes)
Total Voters: 991

Hendricks > Andrews, in every possible way, but one especially.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:07 am
this is gonna be a cinderella year…the michael phelps bong rip is winning it all.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I’ve never understood this, but I’m voting anyway.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Hendricks with the first round upset. Better than EA
March 11th, 2009 at 9:09 am
Sanders, i said the same thing about WAG Cheryl Cole yesterday. But in reality, a lot of internet people like Andrews. she’s unstoppable.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Its called, “just for fun”
March 11th, 2009 at 9:10 am
How does EA have so many votes already?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:10 am
matching carpet and drapes?

People voting off the front page and not clicking through to vote for the rest.

i don’t like redheads, but damn she’s got curves for days.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Colin Cowherd’s now-ness cannot be topped.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:16 am
perhaps i spoke too early? Hendricks making a charge …
March 11th, 2009 at 9:17 am
That’s racist. Come on, Ms. Holloway. Damn, Grape Ape is killing Bradford, that’s too bad.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Erin Andrews is very good looking, but good God am I sick of her.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:19 am
EA #1 seed?
overrated
March 11th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Hendricks>Draper>Andrews
March 11th, 2009 at 9:20 am
I refuse to vote for either Belicheat or Satan.

anyone feeling depressed with no lost on tonight?
wednesday nights sans lost in 2011 are going to suck. it’ll definitely be worse than when 90210 went off the air
March 11th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Why is there a picture of Kathy Griffin when I click on the link for Christina Andrews?
Is SVP in the witness protection program, or did I miss something? Where’s he been?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:24 am
nope, feels good actually.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:25 am
*Andrews = Hendricks
As i have never even heard of her, I wonder if EA will squeak out a win
March 11th, 2009 at 9:25 am
I’ll go with the cute blonde over the fat redhead. I don’t know why she’s become so popular. I didn’t think she was much in season 1 of MM.
/seriously, she’s hot for a regular girl, but c’mon. EA trumps her.
That female cheerleader is eye-fucking the shit out of EA in that pic.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Same with Dawson’s Creek, Roswell and Jack & Bobby.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:26 am
LOL that’s the first thing i thought of when i clicked that photo.
andrews’ sister is hotter.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:26 am
anyone feeling depressed with no lost on tonight?
no, it means I only have to ignore tomorrow’s soccer post, not the lost one also
March 11th, 2009 at 9:26 am
Vehemently disagree with this.

March 11th, 2009 at 9:29 am
this is what i like to call the ‘metallica corollary’
metallica was a reaction to all the shitty glam metal that ruled the early 80’s. hendricks is a reaction to all the crack-skinny blonde chicks that dominate the entertainment landscape. they both stick out because they’re so vastly different, but in reality, neither are anything special.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:30 am
why not a 24 weekly post? that show’s getting good again. finally this season they have a bunch of hotties instead of periodically just one (cuthbert). that fbi chick this season is nice.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Spence, you’re saying that Master of Puppets isn’t anything special? Really?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:34 am
Well, neither are anything special I suppose, but Hendricks is on a great show and Andrews is as annoying as back hair.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:34 am

jimmy: I hope Janeane Garofolo is not a “hottie” in your eyes-lol
The only way she is hot is the retina burn that is created when i see that trainwreck appear in HD
March 11th, 2009 at 9:35 am
How about more sports posts?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:36 am
We should have Ballin’ AM and Ballin’ PM.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Because no one can take Kiefer DeVito seriously in that role.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:37 am
no, that album rocked. so did ride the lightning. but, as great as those albums were, from and justice for all forward is nothing more than progressively smellier poop staining the greatness of those two mentioned above.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:38 am
never seen an ep of 24
March 11th, 2009 at 9:38 am
This is bullshit. 2 Fags.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:40 am
Rent one season and you’ve basically seen them all. Terrorists bad and angry, Keifer short and angry, someone close to Keifer dies, Keifer yells, Keifer kills terrorists, Keifer winds down day at all-night diner.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:41 am
it’s addicting. sort of like johnny quest for adults, only no bandit and once in a while a few babes (this season especially).
March 11th, 2009 at 9:43 am
LOL! Whos Hadji and wheres the dog?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:44 am
HELL no! but given the choice between her and chloe after a few glasses of jameson…
the redhead fbi agent is way hot. i’ve got a feeling her and jack bauer are going to hook up in the last episode.
the chick who was doing the president’s son who got offed, she was smoking.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:44 am
2 Cigarettes?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Gross.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:48 am
No. 2 guys who bang dudes.

March 11th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Next season is the final season.
I love it, but I want to see it end.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Tampa: see you still have the hate for SVP because he blew you off at the Super Bowl?
March 11th, 2009 at 9:51 am
24 > LOST
March 11th, 2009 at 9:52 am
SVP blew Tampa Bo at the Super Bowl?
/nttawwt
March 11th, 2009 at 9:53 am
jpq- That hate burns like untreated chlamydia.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Cute redhead with enormous milk silos, or a girl that you wouldn’t look twice at on the street? Hmmmmm tough…
March 11th, 2009 at 9:55 am
mike, it’s not too often that i agree with you, but well said sir.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Spencer don’t make me bring up your tOSU locker room Bukkake incident.
March 11th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Testify.

“milk silos” - lol
March 11th, 2009 at 10:02 am
I’m subscribing to the “sometimes huge tits are too big” way of thinking. Plus EA doesn’t look like she is from Twilight.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:06 am
I agree, but this is not one of those cases. In fact, I think you could say (or actually, I am saying, you are not) that these are perfect, just below critical mass. Any more would be too much.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I think the two matches to watch this tournament will be Ben v. Widmore (LOST) and Lundquist v. Brennaman (Tebow fellation). Both should be hard-fought battles.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:11 am
I dont think Ive ever heard of that subscription.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:14 am
think about dolly parton tampa.

Now you have.

Mandy Mounds. Or Misty Mounds, I can’t remember her first name.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:21 am
After a quick google search, it’s Maxi Mounds.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:22 am
I’m a fan of freakishly enormous tits.
Joesing-That was gross. Her tits look like they were made from Silly putty.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Christ St. Bear Im at work. But those are fucking huge. I like.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:26 am
Foaming at the mouth over Erin Andrews is about as fresh as bashing Bill Simmons.
Hendricks.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:32 am
Alright, this may be too big.
March 11th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Wait, Christina Hendricks is a 16 seed? Shit, where’s Joe Lunardi when you need him?
March 11th, 2009 at 10:39 am
TSH, I think I just looked at your site for the first time today. Why had I never been there before? Weird. (Very good, by the way.)
March 11th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Thanks man
March 11th, 2009 at 11:14 am
They are both fine looking women. But, if you choose EA over Ms. Hendricks, I don’t think you’ve actually had sex.
March 11th, 2009 at 11:31 am
TBL, you should take a page from reddit.com and enable voting on comments.
March 11th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Preach it brother
March 11th, 2009 at 11:39 am
This is one giant bracket…it makes me wonder where was this a few weeks ago during A-Roid Watch.
March 11th, 2009 at 11:43 am
/fixed for accuracy
March 11th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Hmmmm… do I pick the red head with the big tits and is only in this contest because of said tits, or do I pick the girl who actually works hard and is pretty?
You better have a hot guy match-up too, you sexist boob guy.
March 11th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Tits > Hard work
/science
March 11th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
EA, definitely. And I’m a sucker for attractive redheads, and Hendricks is fantastic, but still EA.
March 11th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
OK, I dare everyone who voted for ‘Herd to make themselves known. I have a feeling, though, that it’s a case of ballot stuffing by Fisch, Vince, and Amanda, with a little help from TBL himself…
March 11th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
TBL Im just noticing what you did with that pic. It looks like EA is about to stick that penis shaped microphone down her throat. Funny stuff.
