https://deadspin.com/presenting-the-2019-name-of-the-year-bracket-1833570554
tough one seed with Jiayah Shorts - but some other beauts on there
March 26th, 2019 at 10:56 PM ^
Corno Pronk is highly underrated as a 10
March 27th, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
Bubba Buckaloo is a 15!
Donald Bullcoming a 12 seed? He is this year's Maryland Baltimore County Cinderella.
March 26th, 2019 at 11:05 PM ^
Precious orgi.
March 26th, 2019 at 11:09 PM ^
Bullcoming is seriously under seeded (also insert some joke about bullcoming and seed)
That one is straight out of a 2011 Supreme Court case, so not going to move the needle with anyone who's been to law school or practiced criminal law in the last few years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullcoming_v._New_Mexico
March 27th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
His full name is Donald Bullcoming. I think this would have been a #1 seed, if his parents would have named him Richard instead....
March 26th, 2019 at 11:13 PM ^
Nimrod shmul might be one of the funnier sounding ones, but it might be the most normal name on there, it’s just a good ole-fashioned Jewish name
I hope the guy has kids ... they'd get all the Pixies jokes.

A couple years ago on one of these brackets I saw the name of a guy I went to middle school with. He was not amused.
March 26th, 2019 at 11:21 PM ^
Funniest name I ever saw hands down was Anus Basher. I wouldn't suggest using Google to find him, you might be sifting through some shady sites.
March 27th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
For the love of god, engage safe search if you do this!
Once debated against a guy named Peter Feeler. Not quite as unfriendly as Anus Basher.

Ecclesiastical Denzel Washington is going all the way!
The Dr. names are always the best for me, for some reason. Probably the dichotomy between the serious title and the stupid name. Dr. Trent Artichoker. It just... makes me laugh.
I just picture Dr. Artichoker working late in the ER when a bus full of orphans come in after falling off a cliff. He deftly saves them all. The mood is somber. Then he stops at the gas station and some attendant reads his credit card and just starts laughing at him. The poor soul...

It's a strong name to be sure, but there's no chance he's clutch enough to go the whole way.
Larry: “Well Jim looks like we are going to have some strong competition in this years NOTY bracket, who do you like.”
Jim: “Larry let me tell ya, a lot of people are looking at Jizyah Shorts as the overall number one. I mean if you are going to be a beauty queen is there a better name? (Laughs at own joke) But I’ll tell ya I’m really interested to see if the voters can look past the double life sentence being served by Ecclesiastical Denzel Washington. Have we ever had a double murder NOTY winner?”
Larry: “Don’t forget Deicide Huxtable, sounds like she killed God and is related to Bill Cosby but has somehow avoided jail time. How will the voters react?”
Jim: “One thing we know is it’s sure to be a good one. And we’ll send it to the studio’s....”
People are sleeping on General Booty as a #13. I could definitely seeing them knocking off Candy Button Disco and making a deep run.
Precious Orji ended up with kind of a tough first round draw against Pope Thrower, but if they make it through the first round I don't think they face any serious competition until #1 seed Surrender Nada.
Chastity Gooch-Fant is also probably underseeded at #8 and I could see them doing some damage since the Crotchtangle bracket is probably the weakest overall (I have #3 seed Rev Pix Butt in the Final Four tho).
I'll take dumb shit only white bros think is funny for $600 Alex!
I wish this were restricted to NCAA athletes. To dip beyond that pool and include dentists and beauty pageant contestants kind of dilutes it for me.
Most of these names are horrible .Almost everyone of them.
All of the names are of real people.

That were bullied mercilessly in school. And that later put their parents in really shitty nursing homes.
March 27th, 2019 at 12:21 PM ^
How does this comment not have more upvotes? LOL
I am going to be a closet fan of Telisport Putsavage in this bracket, and Dijonnaise Norman is a rather underrated 8-seed too.
March 27th, 2019 at 12:03 PM ^
"Dijonnaise is a BOY's name? ...i stand corrected."
Cletorious Aretha Fry just pops out as a hot rising 3 seed for me.
March 27th, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
Didn't this start out as just a college football thing? I think it was just recruits maybe at first? I sort of preferred it that way since the names weren't totally ridiculous, just pretty funny.
Well things are like, not always what you prefer Jerry.
March 27th, 2019 at 10:18 AM ^
Had a Final Four of: Pretzel Monteclaro (2), Voltaire Casino (9!!), Clitorious Aretha-Fry (5), and Chastity Gooch-Fant (8)
Pretzel ran away with it over Chastity in the Finals but it was close. Absolute heart break for Casino.
March 27th, 2019 at 10:22 AM ^
Kermit Sprinkles takes the title as a 14 seed. What a year for the little guy!
(not)
March 27th, 2019 at 11:19 AM ^
Good to see Michigan’s own Steele Fortress made the list (Michigan Tech freshman QB) as well as Texas class of ‘21 recruit General Booty.
I agree, if Jizya Shorts doesn’t run away with the title I would be surprised.
March 27th, 2019 at 11:37 AM ^
The name Truman Peyote makes me feel like going on a trip.
Rev. Pix Butt. There is an alter boy joke in that name, somewhere...
Mustafa Tuna. The Lion of the Sea???.....
I'm trying to figure out if there's an alternate pronunciation for Jizyah Shorts other than the obvious one.
J-eye-z-yeah? let's go with that.
Harrison Treegoob as a 15 is a Florida Gulf Coast level winner right there. He takes down the 2 seed Huxtable without a fight!
Pope Thrower and General Booty will play for the championship.
March 27th, 2019 at 10:02 PM ^
Marijuana Pepsi Jackson is the GOAT.
Sweet Sixteen (can't start a post for it *shrug*)
