The first matchup, Staley vs Grizz, is here. So who do you pick this time - the #1 seeded icon who loves him some huny or the #8 old school television star?

After much deliberation, sleepless nights, and the occasional personal attack, the field for the Febearary Fever Tournament is set. The entire field with matchups is listed after the jump, so feel free to question the seedings or inclusion/exclusion of the tournament participants. We did end up adding "Little Bear" from author Maurice Sendak, Bart the (literal) Bear, Banjo from Banjo Kazooie, and Pedo Bear (everyone thank Kev).

Well, the Super Bowl is finished, and while the Bears weren't participating, at least neither were those cheeselovers up north (or those Clint Eastwood-backed, Eminem-loving, car-making up and comers from Detroit).

This poll asks one simple question; Did you like the Phil Emery hire? We're not asking if you think he'll do a good job, or if you think he'll be a Jerry Angelo clone. Just if you liked the hire?
