It was good while it lasted. . .

The voting has ended and yours truly will not be gracing a month of the Hot Blogger Calendar. Despite being on the leaderboard all week, it just wasn’t meant to be. I don’t usually win things. It would have blown my whole "I never win anything, wah" whine-fest to pieces. I’m sort of relieved I can still use it. I’ve also been invited to my friend’s beach house the same weekend as the shoot. I’m just supposed to be at the beach I guess.

Avitable sent me a very sweet email and recommended I make my own calendar. I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of you who went and voted for me. I had more votes than I could have ever imagined and I truly appreciate your support.

In other news, I had my second fantasy football draft this weekend and ended up with the following team:

QB: Jay Cutler
QB: Jake Delhomme
QB: Jason Campbell
RB: Steven Jackson
RB: Willie Parker
RB: Michael Turner
RB: Matt Forte
RB: Rashard Mendenhall
WR: Braylon Edwards
WR: Santonio Holmes
WR: Roy Williams
WR: Chris Chambers
TE: Heath Miller
TE: Todd Heap
D/ST: Giants
K: Shayne Graham

If you have a big question mark when you see I have three QB’s, yeah, I get you. I have that question mark too. It boiled down to being my last pick and I just had no clue who to take. Playing in a league of 12 teams is a lot different than playing in a league of only eight. Yes, I also realize that I drafted the entire Steelers team with the exception of the QB, defense and kicker. There’s no need to point out how silly my team looks right now or how I’ll suffer during that bye week. I realize I have several "not hot" players. It seems to be the theme for the weekend, and I’m cool with that. Cool, not hot. There you have it.
