HBB Round 2 Endorsements

Objectivity? Don't you know they's a war on, son?

AFC North:

  • Jay Busbee. Southern boy, Actual Gen-u-wine author.
  • Peter Bean. Radio superstar. Wrote this. Opponent resembles small bird.
  • T. Kyle King. Delightful chap. SEC boy.
Campbell Conference:
  • Orson Swindle. Radio Superstar. Responsible for the Fulmer Cup and attendant hilarity. Opponent is, QUITE FRANKLY, a bit of a prat.
  • SMQ. All-round genius of terrifying magnitude.
  • TC. Submitted photo taken during production of Picasso at the Lapin Agile.
  • Davey. I mean, just look at him.
Mid-Atlantic Conference:
  • Dan Shanoff or Signal To Noise. This one'll be a heartbreaker either way. I can't help you. One has done so much to help our fledgling little site; without the other I might not have survived the vampire squid scene in Planet Earth.
  • Precious Roy. Legitimately talented writer with the best new site around.
  • TheGoldfishCowboy. Friend of this here site from way back. Go Vawls!!
  • Monday Morning Punter. Just look at the picture.
NL West
  • Will. Legitimately needs help at this point, since he's up against maybe the best story to come out of this so far: Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio, who barely made the cut for the field, and has marshaled what appears to be the entire literate population of Kentucky to vote on his behalf. This was a bitch of a region to begin with, but the juggernaut was supposed to be...Will. This one could get rrrrreal interesting before voting closes Wednesday night.
  • Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson. What a discovery, this kid. Proprietor of our current absolute favorite blog, ever. And how can you vote against MINIATURE PONIES?? You cannot.
  • Awful Announcing. Allowed us to have all kinds of good fun a couple months back with this.
  • HG. HE IS WEARING EYE BLACK. COME ON.

A fond, inappropriately emotional farewell to Sven, MDG, MCBias, Doug, J-Red, Kanu, Trey, Vanilla, Mike C., and 289. Their absence from the second round should be proof enough we aren't rigging this thing. We'll miss you, boyos.

The polls reset every 24 hours. Don't let me down. Don't let America down.

You know General, sometimes the men don't know when you're acting.

I thought we were an autonomous collective.

Mantzouranis, you magnificent bastard: I READ YOUR BLOG!

For the record, in case this hasn't been made abundantly clear already, I am more than willing to provide a platform for those wishing to Swift Boat (it's a verb) their opponents.

Ooh ooh.. I need swift action.

Or would it be swift swift action?

Either way, I need it... maybe some EDSBS love too? Who knows... Extra P is stumping for me too... we've got it down in the 20s... almost there!

Also John Wayne and Burnsy.. can't forget those cats

Posted by: TheGoldfishCowboy at June 12, 2007 02:47 PM

WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND. There's a guy named John Wayne in the bracket??

Posted by: Holly at June 12, 2007 02:55 PM

HAHAHA, no but actually he just signed an endorsement deal with apias. So I got that goin' for me.

Well, I could make more Patton references (Holly, by leading with that picture, we're legally married, so you know), but I'd rather make a plea for assistance. I'm only up two. Two! Horrifying!

Thirty years from now, when I'm sitting around with my grandson on my knee and he asks "What did you do in the Great Hot Bloggers Bracket," I won't have to say... well, I wrote about my cats on Blogger.

See, Momma? I told you I'd find love in the land of the godless!

Posted by: Holly at June 12, 2007 09:00 PM

Um, I hate to burden anyone, and it may very well be too late, but I'm seven votes down. I'd beg on Deadspin, but I'm not a commenter there... I know I don't know you guys that well, but I feel like we have a common bond of Patton and good theater...

Posted by: TC at June 13, 2007 07:25 PM

We're trying, darlin'...still got at least 4 hours...

Posted by: Holly at June 13, 2007 07:32 PM

Oh. Well, perhaps I overreacted here in the Central time zone. Whoops. Thanks for your assistance! I have become distressingly caught up in your extravaganza.

Posted by: TC at June 13, 2007 07:34 PM

holy shit i'm only down 5.... anybody got votes left?

Posted by: TheGOldfishCowboy at June 14, 2007 12:01 AM

Sadly, I have gone down in flames. Couldn't have lost to a more talented blogger, though.
