Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

While I realize you're picking one of my posts, I can't believe it's not the one that's been in your sig for nine months.

 

Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

Compuserve was more fully an example of your artistry, tho.

 

Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

Thanks for doing this, Vers ... er, Ballot Box. You have my TOP SECRET ballot ...

One quibble: you should have had a category for best SportsJournalists.com handle. "The name is Rumpleforeskin"

 

Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

Thanks for the mad love.
Though I don't view myself as a troll.
Trolls are bullies.
I like to think a lot the people I have been persuaded to fight are the real bullies around here.

Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

I was devastated to realize my Sarah Heath Palin/Glenn Rice/Sportsnight post was September of 2011.

/Not really.

//Ok, maybe a little.

 

Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

I will allow this because I forgot to note that votes may not be changed. That's now in the OP and here. Changing votes would make this more of a pain in the ass than it already will be.

Thanks to all who have voted. No rush for those who have not.

Norrin Radd and 3OctaveFart, though I am guessing each of you was as interested in drawing reaction as voting, your votes don't count until they are messaged to me.

Re: Your 2012 SportsJournalists.com Awards Ballot/Official Thread

I was thinking about "Best Dressed," for best user name, avatar and signatures. Decided there were enough categories already.
