Many Good Things Happen When You Vote

The Bunnies Support Darren, So Should You!

Three rounds have passed in the Ladies… Hot Blogger Tournament, and I am thrilled to say that we are still in the competition. We have defeated some excellent competition to get to the 4th round, but it will only get harder to move on. It is because of this that we must forget about future rounds and focus on beating Jay Busbee of Sports Gone South until voting for this round has elapsed.

The competition is coming to its final stages. The original field consisted of 88 excellent sports bloggers from all around the world. Only 16 remain (really one 11 remained, but they added 5 who were knocked out to make it an even number), all of whom believe that they have a legitimate chance to take home the trophy. I am asking all of you to vote now and as many times as possible for Darren until we are victorious.

It is so easy a caveman could do it. On the top right of the page, above our tacky Advertise With SportsAgentBlog.com button, click the little circle above “Darren” and click vote. That is it! Every time you vote, a dog will be spared from Michael Vick’s wrath. I also hear that for each vote cast, Barry Bonds will have a home run wiped off of his record…but don’t hold me to that statement.

So get to voting…please.
