I was really torn on my vote (much moreso than others it seems), but this convinced me. So Dolphins Front Office, for consistent and reliable douching all season long as opposed to just a douche and run.

A short and late interview with Jimmy Haslam:

Jimmy: The result of this investigation shows that I'm not a douche. I have always maintained that the foundation of myself is built on my integrity and that any willful douchebaggery at any time is intolerable. I'm glad that cooperation with the goon investigation proved my innocence, and we will continue our own investigation in these allegations. I value the relationships we have with the fans, the mods and the trolls across this forum and regret that they had to go through this with us, but I trust and believe their faith in me and my principles has never been misplaced.

He push a man


Haslam is under serious FBI investigation, and with an entire swath of Hispanic drivers- targeted because they were vulnerable- waiting for civil rights claims to hurt the man. An owner who is assuredly going to run the team like a drunk sailor until the bullet hits the bone.

Haslam will be punished for his douchitude. This is an Internet Justice tournament.

The men who control the Dolphins ran with Ireland all the way with Incognito, Ted Ginn's family et al. And then they turned around and fired a man because of his sick wife.

Nothing has changed in the Miami culture, and obviously no punishment will change that.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.
Jimmy Haslam. Voting for the Dolphins seems like a classic case of sympathizing more with a single victim that you can put a face to vs thousands of unknown victims. "The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic", etc.

Now you're just some QB that I used to know
Dolphins Front Office because what was their response to firing a ginourmous douche who asked a player if his mother was a prostitute? They hire a guy who not only fires a scout because he worked at home to care for his sick wife, but also systematically and in a targeted manner ensure that he could not continue to care for her, even at zero cost to the team. gently caress you Dennis Hickey, gently caress you up your stupid rear end.

We here at the Douche Council have received a written correspondence from Douche Bielma

A letter from Bret Bielma to the Council of Douche:

To whom it may concern:

I have recently been notified of my nomination in the Ben Rothlisburger Douche Tournament for the crime of speaking my mind. To disrespect me to such a degree without even having the courtesy of notifying me is abhorrent, but I am a fair man in my own estimation, and so if it is a piece of my mind you wish to trample, a piece of my mind you will have!

I wish I had not uttered those words about that young man's fate, that much is plain. He should never have been put in a situation against the hurry up and I think it's pretty cut and dried what happened, but disturbing the peace of mind of so many fans is regrettable. That is NOT to say, however, that the hurry up is good for football. On the contrary, it requires a caliber of athlete across the defensive board that you just can't consistently get in college ball. Keeping it in the game risks seriously hurting players and increases the chances of a minor injury becoming a major or, to be frank, SuperMajor injury.

It's quite simply an unfair advantage, akin to steroid use. It's not safe, it's unfair, and it ruins the game at its very core. After all, who wants to watch guys sprinting to the line after every play and not giving either side adequate time to counter the other? Football is a game of the mind, a physical chess match, and as much as I love my Sam linebacker, he's no chess machine. It creates a subpar product and it's success is going to spread it around it football and soon the game will be nothing but random plays called on a whim by players on the field.

People seek to vilify me for my opinion here, but when my Badgers won it all three times in a row, it should have been clear that I know a little bit about football. I know what it takes to win, and this hurry up nonsense makes that downright impossible. Could I run this offense that repulses me so? Absolutely I could, and we would win more games, but I respect my players, the game, and myself too much to do such a disgusting thing. A young man has already lost his life to this perversion of football and I'll not be a part of it.

And so I ask that you remove me from this "douche contest". I am a man of conviction, and if that means I must stand against a current of idiocy and juvenile insults, then so be it I suppose, but hopefully this letter has made clear the difference between convictions and douchery. This hurry up malarkey isn't going to go down without a fight and so I hope you'll forgive my trespasses in using whatever weapons left available to me.

God bless,
Bret Bielma

Jeff Fisher



Gerund posted:

I nominate Jeff Fisher

Former USC Trojan. Runs a dirty/hard-hitting team while also having a hand in the competition committee making rules for 'player safety'.

Also was enough of a whiny douche to get Bernie Kosar canned from announcing while also casting aspersions on his character:

Jeff Fisher has made a short statement regarding this match

For the 2014 season, I propose the most logical player safety regulation yet - every player must grow a mustache. “How will that help?” you may ask. It’s simple - manly men like myself have mustaches, and manly men don’t get injuries. That’s just scientific fact - mustache growth and masculinity are directly related. It also hearkens back to the seventies, a time when men were tough and didn’t bitch about things like concussions.

BERRRRRRRRRRRRT IS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Jeff Fisher has an amazing mustache
Will either of these facts prove advantageous when it comes to being a bigger douche?
Only one way to find out!

WINNINGEST BEVO
I dislike Bielema so much that Alabama now has a team on their schedule that I want them to beat. Yes I know Saban was pushing the same rule change with the same motivations, but when the backlash came he at least did a competent job on the PR front. Bielema decided that he would just go ahead and claim the memory of some kid who had tragically died less than two weeks earlier, a kid he had never met, a kid for whom the medical examiner had not yet determined a cause of death. Bielema practically announced that the cause of death was the hurryup/no huddle offense, and that it must be abolished before it kills again. I bet the family and friends and teammates and coaches and fans who were still grieving his death and waiting for answers really appreciated that.

Bielema expected people to take him seriously when he claimed that, if the offense lines up fast, a defensive player in a life-threatening medical crisis has no way of stopping the game and getting off the field. Every human being who cared enough about college football to know about the proposed rule knew that a player need only sit down (or stay down) following a play to stop the game and receive immediate help. The other team's fans might boo but I'd say that's easily preferable to death.
