So I guess we better do this. Anyway, for those of you keeping score at home, here’s what we got so far.
And as we last left off, the final poll didn’t work. And to be honest? I have no idea why, but then again everything didn’t work so maybe it had something to do with that.

As the two finalists, and as a result of the fuckery, will the owners of the white sedan relevant quotes (Beerguyrob and Zymm) hit me up at some point so I can send them some form of hot sauce (to taste, of course, not trying to kill you all). I’d say “and alcohol” but I’ll be real, I haven’t had a chance to drink all year, so I haven’t even thought of alcohol. My fantasy football freezer vodka remains in the aforementioned freezer. But I’ll think of another trinket or two.
Oh yeah, so let’s try this one last time. If it works, great. If not, fuck it, you’re both winners at this point.
Once again, your 2021 Banner Championship:
35. “Brady’s big mistake was asking Jason Pierre-Paul what down it was.”
vs.
46. “Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.”
The polls don’t work, so, I don’t know, post your winner below and I’ll do a tally or something below, winner gets even more respect and admiration. I should start thinking
“Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers” is one of the best lines written anywhere on the internet, period.
“Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.” has my vote.
Fraulein Doktor gets the “burble borble” vote.
Number nine is one that made me laugh. My vote
Zymm won
Also poor showing by me last year. At least i know I haven’t done better this year.
I vote Zymm. Timeless, Classic funny comment
Too soon?

My vote is for Dual Championships. The quotes are now known so the vote is tainted. Its risks becoming a popularity contest instead of a quote contest.
Either that or pistols at dawn. Its the only honorable way.
Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers just has that certain j’nais se quois I’m looking for an a Banner of the Year.
BGR’s was good, but misses my vote by a fingernail or 2.
I’m open to discussing this…
No cheating!
…are we talking about Amateur Wrestling or an Old Fashioned? Because that may influence my vote.
Zymm
?w=332
I’ll go with JPP, yeah you know me.
I’d say #35 for its explicit gridiron setting as opposed to just explicitness — but I did snort out loud for the new shocker version. Kudos to all the fine bannering..
I’ll vote for 35.
Also, I apologize for how quickly this one became outdated:
That should, of course, be 54 years now.
God willing, it keeps getting longer.
What is Balls’ nightly prayer in high school?
I’ll take Potent Potables for $400.
Me: “I think we all won.” [nods knowingly to audience, reaches into gown, shows the crowd a beer, crushes beer against forehead, walks off stage to cheers, throws fist in air]
Principal: “SCOOOOOTCHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
/credits roll to upbeat music
I’ll go first. It’s Zym.
