PrintOk, here is the 6 v. 11 matchup. Pain Train (Toot Toot!) v. [Meme Deleted By Marshawnthusiast] Read the information behind the fold and then vote in the poll.
Pain Train (6)
The Pain Train did not come from either CGB; in fact, for those of us too young to remember (ahem, rollonubears!), the Pain Train first appeared in a 2003 Super Bowl commercial featuring Terry Tate, Office Linebacker:
Clearly that commercial left an impression on our future Golden Ziger, Zack Follett.
"Terry Tate -- number 56, the Office Linebacker, the Pain Train -- was my hero from watching those commercials," Follett said. "I try to emulate him when I'm out there.
"When I was in junior high my buddy Marcus Moore and I went to a sporting goods store that sold a Reebok Terry Tate jersey. I bought one immediately. We watched all of his You Tube clips. He was bringing the Pain Train and he had his Woo-woo sound. I used to do it in high school, I used to blow the horn...it kind of stuck with me a little bit."
So vote for the Pain Train. After all, you don't want this to happen to you, do you?
TOOT TOOT
You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
TOOT TOOT REC'D!!!!
TOOT TOOT
Go Bears Go
TOOT TOOT

Read this description quickly! I don’t know how much time we have before they find out that I’m onto them. I have something to tell you all: the Marshawnthusiasts are fascists. It’s not a pretty fact, but it’s the truth. As the only person who has been subjected to [identifying name deleted by HydroTech]’s B& Hammer, I know the pain it can cause. Being unable to comment on CGB for hours is painful, but nowhere near as painful as their incessant censorship.
There was this one time, when I made a joke about asian girls. [explanation deleted by yellowfever]. And that was just one of the times when one of my brilliant comments was censored unjustly. Another time was when I was unsure what the greatest movie in the world was, I thought it was either The Big Lebowski or [movie title deleted by CBKWit]
I’m sure that all of you have experienced this. How many times has a witty joke been made, only to disappear moments later, or worse, to have the comment be replaced by bracketed deletion? I propose that we rise up and fight the powers! [rousing diatribe deleted by TwistNHook]
This will be the battle against the powers that be to end all battles against the powers that be. Noone has taken down powers this strong since [cataclysmic event deleted by ragnarok]
I hope that all of you were able to read this without major censoring. In conclusion, [conclusion deleted by CalBear81]
Wait, what?

I usually don’t read the comments on the articles though, just the articles themselves…. which leads me to have no fucking idea what all these “meme” posts are about that litter the front page of the blog.
Frankly i don’t give a shit, and i’m sure most of your casual readers don’t either. Is it possible to move all these polls to a separate page of the blog? Because it kinda sucks having to scroll thru so many of these completely worthless posts to find stories I want to read.
Well
There’s a reason we’ve kept these to the weekend, since it replaced the content that we had been putting up on the weekends. (Which was nothing.) I don’t see the harm with relegating these to FanPosts though, so we’ll give that some thought.
Still holding out hope that Ryan Anderson will capitulate and grant him that interview he's been asking for for months now.

Indeed. It was hoped that summer weekends would be a good time to dump these polls, because there was absolutely nothing else going on, but it does clutter up the front page, and for that, I’m sorry. I can look into FanPosts, or a separate page, but SBN only gives us certain tools to work with. In particular, the inability to attach more than 1 poll per story or FanPost makes it impossible to consolidate these posts.
Also, this is the last weekend of the opening round, so we should have fewer of these matchups going forward.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
oh, and seriously, thank you
for bringing this to our attention. i know from our sitemeter numbers that the number of casual readers vastly outweighs the number of commentators, but since they don’t comment, it’s often difficult to gauge their opinions on things, so it’s really great when they do speak up. the criticism is good for us, and i assure you, we are listening.
oh, and yes, these posts are completely, completely worthless, and i apologize to you for you having to wade past them all. thanks for reading our worthwhile (weekday) stuff!
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Terry Tate: Office Linebacker was the greatest Super Bowl commercial ever.
End of discussion.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
I tried to come up with a good argument against you there, and I just couldn’t. There’ve been some good ones (Herding Cats comes to mind), but nothing quite like Terry Tate.
Incidentally, I don’t actually remember what the Terry Tate ad was supposed to be promoting. Do you?
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I think it was Reebok. No specific product that I can remember.

This is no contest. Pain Train should have been seeded much higher!
Hibernating until next season (mostly).
You make me proud
