<Vitale>It’s that time of year again, baby! The vast field of wingnuts has been whittled down to just sixty-four competitors, four groups of sixteen, all vying for the top prize - the right to say that they are the wankiest, pantloadiest douchebag in all of wingnuttery! You can throw out the regular season, all you facts and figures and polling numbers, because it all comes down to this - who can bring home six W’s against the toughest competition there is! Round 1 time, who’s gonna be the upset victims, who’s the underdogs, and who’s gonna be the Cinderella? It’s all about who can get the most support from the fans! It’s awesome baby!</Vitale>
