Hey, we’re back! After a couple of days off for some extra voting, the Carty Free Article Bracket returns, and we’re heading towards the regional finals.
As always, vote for your favorites in the polls below each matchup.
Tom Carroll Memorial Regional
SWEET SIXTEEN
#1 — Sex, Drugs & Through-Balls: Life on the Road with Tom Carroll (Skipjack)
vs.
#4 — Introducing the Recurrently Generated Football League (Dustin)
OK, real talk — if there’s a presumptive overall #1 seed it’s the Tom Carroll article. It’s the Duke Blue Devils of this bracket. But it’s finally running into a real challenger in the RGFL and I’m excited to see if computer generated football clubs can score what would be a pretty huge upset.

Row Z Regional
SWEET SIXTEEN
#1 — Don’t Let the Pigeon Sign with Chelsea (Dustin)
vs.
#12 — Teams that have made the quarterfinals ahead of Arsenal, ranked (Sean)
Shit’s getting real in the Row Z regional as Sean’s Short Fuse Takeover article, which has brushed aside its previous competition in the first two rounds, goes up against heavyweight bird The Pigeon.

#6 — In appreciation of Erik Lamela, Tottenham’s do-everything attacker (Sean)
vs.
#10 — Tactical Analysis: Breaking Down Arsenal’s Best Goals This Season (Ben Daniels)
Two votes. That was the margin of the Erik Lamela article’s win in the last round. It’s basically hitting a free throw with 2 seconds to go and withstanding a half-court heave for the win. Likewise, Ben’s “analysis” article outlasted the origin of Bat Country by a mere three votes out of more than 100 cast.
