Hi.

Apparently there are two meat brackets going on right now -  run by the the food bloggers at So Good and ESPN 2's Uniwatch. Thanks to Deadspin, who clearly had same free time between site redesigns, there's now a bit of a flame war over who came up with the idea of the meat bracket first.

I'd like to think that, ever since two cavemen first discovered that you can slow-roast a sabretooth, the human species has been arguing about how best to destroy and devour the world around it. 

I have a dream - a dream in which sports bloggers and meat bloggers can sit down and devour flesh together. Let's all shake our greasy hands and move on to more important discussions. Not who came up with the bracket first (because, you know, we did), but which meat is best? 

Go Bacon.

Bacon certainly looks like a strong contender in our bracket. Hope you'll visit So Good and vote in our match-ups.

Thanks for writing about the controversy with So Good and ESPN - just to be clear, I never once said that I came up with the idea of a meat bracket first, in fact I linked to Carnivore Project in one of my comments pointing out you guys did it 2 years ago.

I think the issue isn't so much who came up with the idea, but the fact that my bracket and Lukas's bracket were released so close together.

I put all the blame squarely on Deadspin, who were clearly having a slow news day.

The So Good bracket is terrific, and I'll definitely be voting.
