    I guess we know who has been voting non-stop for the last month.

    What a fucking joke.

    I have no idea what this is about and could care even less.
    Why do people get so worked up about ESPN?
    Mind-boggling.

    I have no doubt that people in Valdosta voted early and often, considering the only other thing to do there in July (excluding an insanely overpriced amusement park) is sweat to death. But good for them. If ESPN was going to have this publicity stunt anyway, let it be enjoyed someplace where people would appreciate it.

    I'm curious for the next ridiculous series (i.e. Titletown, Who's Now) that they'll come up with next. It's like employing Skip Bayless... they only keep doing it because it gets everyone talking about it (or rather, how stupid it is).

    Good point. I thought it was pretty harmless summer filler.

    Agreed. If anyone's taking this selection to heart, they're taking it way too seriously.

    The good people of Valdosta, Ga., will now storm your house with torches and pitchforks.
