Rovell sucks poo poo but him losing is also worth tweeting to him about. Incognito is certifiably insane and a douche that all future douches will be measured against.

Richie Incognito for all of the obvious reasons. Rovell is a good runner up but Incognito really earned it this year.

Can we compromise that if Incognito does win, we tell Darren Rovell he didn't win because his brand wasn't big enough?

Basically there's no wrong choice here, either we go for a career douche who has a long history and bright future in being a total piece of poo poo, autistic level, failure of basic human interaction, or we go for the beautiful firework of trash that exploded last year.

You're not giving Richie Incognito enough credit. He's been as much of a career douche as Rovell, it's just that his career was more or less put to rest because of it rather than advanced because of it. It's somewhat irrelevant because in terms of this contest this past year is all that matters, but don't delude yourself into thinking that Incognito wasn't a gigantic douche until Jonathan Martin came around.

Gotta go with the classic dick Richie Incognito. Darren Rovell is an excellent choice and a worthy opponent but in light of current events I am shocked it is this close. Looking past the entire Dolphins locker room scandal Richie Incognito sexually assaulted a volunteer worker during a charity event and never faced a single consequence for that action. This piece of poo poo should have faced what Ray Rice is getting now for such an act and even in a reasonable place like TFF it's overshadowed by the gross and flashy locker room affair.

I'm fine with Incognito winning but it makes me sad when goons say Rovell is so close in the voting only so we can tweet him the results. That's not true. He has earned his runner up position

Lord of Garbagemen

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Stat Sheet: Rovell, Darren



Height: Below Average
Weight: Average
Build: Ameba Like
Education: Northwestern

Gentleman, Gunes, and Friends,

We have a chance to be at the ground floor of something truly amazing. We have the chance to be the catalyst to a true Dynasty. When I think of sports dynasties, I immediately think of the 74’ - 79’ Steelers, 09’-12’ Alabama, the 60’s Packers, Da U in the late 80’s, and last but not least Darren Rovell.

Incognito is a douche, this is a fact. However, we should not vote for Richie Rich because he is too stupid to understand that he is a douche. Incognito is an inbred, trailer trash, waste man who made money because he could stand in one spot and push some dude across from him, this is in his blood. Also, Incognito is acting out of instinct and he is to stupid to comprehend “douchey” (see Dunning- Kruger). Unlike Richie Rich, Rovell is a superior douche. I will concede that Rovell doesn’t have the A++ Douche Genetics that Richie has. Where Rovell excels is that he makes the conscious decision to literally be the definition of human filth, and HAS EVEN BUILT A BRAND revolving around being a huge corporate nut sucking DOUCHEBAG.

Voting in Incognito will not bring you satisfaction, he is

  • Unable to read
  • Does not understand that what he is doing is abhorrent
  • Probably unable to remember anything past his need to breathe (albeit through his mouth)

Here is why you should vote Darren Rovell:

Darren Rovell is an unapologetic industry shitbag, someone who found his niche licking the excrement laden boots of corporate sponsors:



However, that's not what stands out most about Darren Rovell. The reason I think Darren Rovell is supreme douche master race because he represents a specific breed of self-branding wastemen.

quote:

“He is the guy harassing you with a LinkedIn invite every five seconds. He is the motivational speaker with a handful of self-published books sitting on a card table. He is the guy clapping enthusiastically during the unveiling of a new Pepsi can. He is the guy rehearsing his elevator pitch in the mirror before heading out to the Holiday Inn Express breakfast buffet...”

Darren Rovell is the champion of the corporate brand. He is the man who has traded the last bit of humanity for Corporate Brand.



If you want to understand how companies like the Baltimore Ravens, the Miami Dolphins, the NFL, and the NCAA can become such inhumane, awful places, Rovell is the answer. He is strictly about the brand—the face of the enterprise. Whatever shady poo poo is going on beneath that brand is simply a necessary evil to keep it all neat and spiffy. He is the guy who stands behind a front office that changes their health coverage to deny a sick women treatment, allows an organization to give a player a 2 game suspension for knocking his wife out (and making her apologize for getting decked) and a one year ban for smoking weed, and basically fights to keep the ability to have athlete slaves (irony points that he went to Northwestern).

For Rovell, brand is God. A brand is the new form of the human soul. In Rovell's mind all human events are reducible to their effect on some real or imagined market value:




quote:

"If you’re a fan today and you don’t understand the business, then you’re a bad fan. You will lose at the watercooler every single time."

Darren Rovell has made a business out of being a douche. He gets paid to be a douche. He wakes up every morning and builds a temple of douche. We, as gunes, have a responsibility to acknowledge Rovell as the Head Priest of the Church of Douche. My fellow scholars of douche, the time is now, let’s acknowledge this renaissance of douche and crown the King to his rightful throne.





In closing,

That's just loving douchey.

Ray Rice hit a woman. Incognito hit people, cheated, deliberately tried to injure other players, sexually assaulted people, systematically abused teammates to the degree one of them literally quit his job in the NFL to get away from him, extorted, bullied, and did so for years. And he never, ever accepted any responsibility or showed the slightest genuine contrition for his actions, to this day. He isn't sorry for any of it, he's only sorry he suffered consequences. He has not learned a loving thing from what's happened to him.

Hitting his girlfriend so hard she lost consciousness is terrible and I am not in any way excusing that. And it's hard to compare different categories of terrible behavior on some kind of scale of how-bad-is-it. But to me, Incognito is so much worse than Ray Rice it isn't even on the same chart.

Oh god it's so hard. But to me, when I think back in fifty years on this year, my memories will be of Richie Incognito doing something so douchey that it was universally recognized as the most perfect act of douchebaggery to crown a douche-career in the history of the world. A thousand years shall pass, and Richie Incognito shall be a douche. So it is written. So shall it be.
