2008 Culture Bracket: To the 2nd Round We Go
2008 Culture Tournament March 26th. 2008, 10:39am
The first round is now complete, and all the No. 1 seeds have advanced. We’ll continue to update the results page throughout today. Small twist in the second round – all voting will end around 8 a.m. the morning after the matchup is posted, just so our nine international readers can vote. And we should alert you that later today there’s a titanic showdown: WAG-a-riffic Cheryl Cole vs. ESPN’s Erin Andrews.
This morning, we get the matchup Chris Berman has been begging for since he first uttered, “rumblin’, bumblin’, stumblin’” – a showdown with God. We fully expect low-major Skip Bayless’s Cluelessness, a 12 seed, to get steamrolled by The Office (the Washington State of 4 seeds). Michael Beasley vs. LeBron could be fun, but Dick Vitale vs. Barack Obama is unlikely to be. To the polls, people!

I think God gave us the Berman videos…so, either way He’s a winner.

If God went up against Ditka, The bracket would explode
March 26th, 2008 at 10:42 am
The Almighty may have met the one force in the Universe that defies all his power…Skip’s cluelessness.

Lets go Michael Beasley

I just don’t see how God is culturally relavent.

Needs more Jenna Fischer day…
March 26th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Jenna looked hot in Blades of Glory. Well, she looked essentialy the same, except for her hair being straightened.
March 26th, 2008 at 10:57 am
are the avatars acting a foo’ again?
March 26th, 2008 at 11:01 am
One of my favorite Jenna Fischer scenes is the one where she dances with some guy at the Indian wedding (the same wedding where Michael proposes the his “girlfriend” who was dressed as a cheerleader).
Something about her dancing to that song seemed cool. Who doesn’t want to be her friend?
March 26th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Seriously, who votes for the Berman video’s over God? Just wrong in so many ways…
March 26th, 2008 at 11:03 am
I’ll say it again. I don’t understand why God Shamgodd is a #1 seed.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:03 am
um…i voted for the berman videos. his drug smuggling info was incredibly useful.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Wonder how long this WASPY and hedonistic male readership will keep the lord around. Put him up against money or pussy and see how it goes.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:04 am
If today is John Krasinski day on TBL, I’m never leaving this site.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I’m with atl, what has god done for me lately?
March 26th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Wait, Wonder Years reruns beat Lost? Whaaaaa?

He delivered us Shaq and hopefully that ends 40 years of pain.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Jenna will lead The Office to victory (and an Elite 8 birth) over God when Moses misses the front end with under a minute to go.

@YYSA: I know you’re a fan of the suns, but do you live in PHX?
March 26th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Are we talking Morgan Freeman as God? Jim Carey as God? George Burns as God? Or God as God?
March 26th, 2008 at 11:16 am
God bless Dick Vitale? No! No! No! God-DAMN Dick Vitale!!!
March 26th, 2008 at 11:21 am
I’m disappointed that “Joan of Arcadia” reruns didn’t make the tournament.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:21 am
PXH guys…you don’t know pain. when its 75 degrees in january, and youre NBA team is perennially awesome, and there are chicks running around that give a shit what they look like…im gonna stop here, im getting jealous.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:23 am
God will play horribly the entire game and the refs will give him all the calls at the end of the game so he can pull off the victory.
Refs love god and Ucla.

Joan of Arcadia reference +8

I’m an Atheist, so I was forced to choose Berman, dammit.
I don’t like The Office, so Bayless was the easy choice there.
LeBron; who cares? It’s the NBA.
And please; Obama vs Vitale? Obama hands down. Period. End of sentence.

@YYSA, what part of town do you live in? I grew up in Scottsdale but now live in Chandler.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:36 am
Live and work in North Scottsdale near airpark

If anyone can put an end to God’s reign, it should have been Chris Berman. If he can’t do it, then it’s already over.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Just looking ahead a bit. If both FNL and Tyra win later this afternoon, how in the world do you vote in the next round?
Some serious debating on whether to vote for Cole or EA, that might take up the rest of my morning.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Wow LBJ just dominated Beasley – piss poor showing Kobe honks
March 26th, 2008 at 11:41 am
i voted for Beasley

I cannot believe in a God that would allow Chris Berman to exist
March 26th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Maybe we didn’t know each other after all. ‘99. Guess I’m an old man.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Nahh man you got like 4 good years left until you are that
March 26th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I’m out to get some metamucil and some ear hair trimmers.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Once, while on a hellacious bender in college, I wrote a fan letter to Vitale. He actually responded, and sent me an autographed photo and a t-shirt.
He should destroy Barack Obama in this matchup.
Please don’t give Dickie V the ziggy!
March 26th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Wonder Years re-runs don’t stand the test of time, AND they were already old when they were made, so who knows why they don’t work, they just don’t
March 26th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Pffft… come back when you’re my age and say that. Then I’ll believe you.

Dick Vitale’s pastor is a white supremacist.
