Not this year.

Cool that you brought it up though, I didn't know he were this bad:

XXXVII (1994) Cowboys 30, Bills 13 -- For the fourth straight year, I picked Buffalo. SI's preview issue had on its cover, "Cheer up, Cowboys, Dr. Z Picks Bills." Worst of all, I was never informed. Nothing like a little loyalty from your employer. Let's call this one a C-minus.

The entire peloton. They are killing their own sport, bringing disgrace upon themselves, and robbing me of the enjoyment of watching the three grand tours.

Since we're moving into the realm of announcers...

It's a tie between Kobe Bryant, Barry Bonds and that unnamed South Florida bike rider with a shaving obsession

I get the odd feeling that I've spoken to that unnamed Florida bike rider.

I feel that much like the late douchebag contest (RIP), we need a clearer definition here. A douchebag is first and foremost a typically blatant asshole and has a grossly overinflated self-worth. Several of these recommendations do not meet that rubric. Marv Albert and John Madden spring to mind, unless there's a lot of evidence of them being assholes off the air tha I'm not aware of. Tony Dungy is a bit of a stretch as well, no surprise that it's from The Pats Fan. Reportedly most of the league and the media love the guy, hardly douche material. A douche is nearly-universally loathed by there non-fans, IMO. I like to think of your that if your average Amjack asshole douche playing sports, and think of the douchiest among them. Hence, Sabattini is still my pick.

A DB designation might be a little harsh, but Bob Costas now grates on me, and I used to really like him back in the day. I also used to like Bryant Gumbel, but he's now reached DB status for me.

Sabattini is a quality pick for douchiness. I had no idea he took a bride.

Ian Poulter ran his mouth off a bit much as well, taking aim at Tiger earlier this season, to absolutely no avail. For that matter, any golfer who talks trash.

Floyd Mayweather, although a lot of what he does may be an act rather than natural douchiness.

Well, I'll be the first to admit that Dungy is an under-the-radar DB. And at least I tried to justfy my opinion with some facts.
