Just as ESPN’s Who Cares, I mean “Who’s Now” contest to anoint the most happening sports celebrity rolls along, so, too, does Ampolotalk’s poll to determine the world’s favorite ESPN personality. Each has achieved the buzz of Monday night’s riveting home run derby, or a PGA event without Tiger Woods, or a WNBA game (regular season, of course. Once those playoffs get going….)
We are down to the Sweet Sixteen. Due to an Executive Order, we cannot give you the exact vote totals or percentages, but we can tell you that the closest race was between Erin Andrews and Stuart Scott. That one came out dead even and was actually decided by the toss of a pillow. It landed on the cooler side, so Scott advances and Andrews is sidelined. We can also tell you that Berman, Kolber, Patrick, Gammons, Greenberg, Kornheiser, and Wilbon all won easily, and that Jim Rome elicited the strongest negative reaction from our voters.
Voting on the Sweet Sixteen begins today and continues through Monday, July 16. We’ll announce the Elite Eight on the 17th. Again, indicate each head to head choice by listing his/her number or name and sending your list to steve@ampolo.com
