Yesterday’s first installment of our With Leather March Madness Interactivity Extravaganza taught me two things:

1) I suck at naming things.
B) March Madness is the funnest for real, you guys.

I have to admit, I’m a bit relieved that Long Beach State didn’t pull off the upset over New Mexico, because that seemed to be the popular choice yesterday and I didn’t want to have to tell any precious faces that they weren’t getting With Leather t-shirts, because I want you to love me like Kate Upton dressed as a sexy Santa Claus… holy hell that needs to happen.

Sorry, I got distracted. So it turns out that 6 of you maniacs emulated my brilliance by choosing VCU as the upset of the day, and bingo bango bongo you’re all getting With Leather t-shirts. Mainly because I need to get them out of my office already. Sadly, this generosity might not be able to carry over, so enjoy it while it lasts, winners:

Erswi (I’m putting yours in a bottle and throwing it into the Gulf of Mexico, so keep an eye out)
MG
Bodhi Zafa
Roddy Piper
Tom Selleck’s Mustache
Solek22

UPDATE: Total egregious oversight on my part, Colorado’s late upset of UNLV also earned t-shirts for:

Seanthomasc
JesusIzANazCarFan

Email me your addresses to BurnsyWL@gmail.com and I’ll throw your vintage tees in the mail. And I swear they won’t take a month like the last time. Now, on to today’s prize, the With Leather second edition t-shirts.

Same plan as yesterday – vote in the poll (for my well-being) and submit your upset pick and final score in the comments. Up to 5 winners will receive t-shirts this time, so make sure your crystal meth ball is polished.

The peeps over at Fightlinker are putting on a little contest: design the worst possible mixed martial arts T-shirt possible. And really, if you’re terrible at art–as most MMA shirt designers seem to be–you’d seem to have a natural advantage for this sort of thing.

Here’s how it works: those with Photoshop or even just MS Paint skillz create the ugliest MMA shirt possible. You know the standard terrible conventions: skulls, eagles, bullets, eagle skulls that shoot bullets, wings, top hats, boobs, babes, blood and boners. That kind of thing.

The deets are over there, but the deadline seems to be December 15th. Are you going to submit a design? YES! YES! YES! YES! I don’t know when the hell people started saying “deets” instead of “details.” Yeah, I get it, we’re a busy society, but it’s just one freaking syllable. Come on, peeps.

This video is compiled video footage of Carl Joseph, one of ten children in a one-parent home who had the additional setback of being born with only one leg. He played varsity football in the ’70s and was a standout in track, and now he’s been nominated for the Florida High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

This seems too fantastic to be true — or at least too amazing to have not gotten wider press before this — but I actually emailed the Florida HS Athletic Association, and it seems the nomination, at least, is real. And to that I say, holy crap. I couldn’t play high school football, and I had two legs [Note: I still do]. Mommy always said I was too delicate. And she was right :(
