Who’s Hack? Olbermann Bracket (1) Jay Mariotti vs. (8) Neil Everett

With the rousing success of yesterday’s “Who’s Hack?” launch, we continue our march through the first round with the Olbermann bracket. Welcome. It’s a big day.

Who’s Hack? (1) Jay Mariotti vs. (8) Neil Everett

Jay Mariotti

The Case For: He’s the guy at the end of the bar who likes to talk sports but does not know a thing about it. He’s always wrong. And when he’s wrong, he’s a prick about it. He’ll pretend he’s was right all along too. 
The Case Against: We don’t live in Chicago! SUCKERS!

Neil Everett

The Case For: We loved the Olbermann-Patrick big show. It was a magical time. But an unfortunate side effect is it spawned a generation of anchors with their own cadre of bad catchphrases. Neil Everett is like the guy who yells I AM THE GOD OF THE SEA PEOPLE! On Channel 8 for your Boise Affiliate.
The Case Against: Anyone who chucks away an easy care-free life on the big island of Hawaii to work at SportsCenter isn’t doing it for the fame or money. He loves his work. He sucks at it. But he loves his job, and that’s noble.

Here we go. Can the black hole of Around the Horn get taken down by Stuart Scott’s SportsCenter wingman?
