Undoubtedly those of you who peruse the sportswebtubes have been made aware that the "ladies" of Ladies... is engaged in some sort of sportsblogger Handsome Off.
I know when I got to my email this morning, I had dozens of messages. Well-wishes, perhaps? A best of luck? Nope. All of those messages were from other bloggers trying to get me to vote for them. And that's not going to happen. Nope. Nice try, random dude I've never met. See, unlike The Ladies, I have to know a person to truly gauge their hotness. Unless they are good at Table Tennis, in which case all bets are off.
I would like to decry not just the gross superficiality of the "Ladies" and their contest, but also the mewling baby kittens who are trolling for votes. Gentlemen--show some self-respect out there. For Christ's Sake, you don't see anyone here at IDYFT begging for the kind of fleeting glory, meaningless validation, and superficial gratification of winning a Hot Blogger contest, do you?
And sure, some of you may point out that none of us were put into the field, and that we are therefore not in the running. That's an excellent point for you. Well done. All the same, surely we can all agree that just because our blog isn't "widely-read" or "particularly well-written" or that we aren't "conventionally handsome"* doesn't mean any one of us here at IDYFT couldn't have gotten deep into this tournament (not to mention deep into some of the voters. Yeah, you know what I'm sayin').
Well screw all ya'll. We are glad we are able rise above this disgusting, pandering spectacle.**
For shame, Ladies...for shame. We don't need you! We don't need anybody!
*Just kiddin'. To a man, we here at IDYFT are almost devastatingly handsome.
**We are also quite upset about not getting a chance to not rise about this disgusting, pandering spectacle. If there's something we do well, it is disgusting spectacle.

It's not like the Ladies... were discriminating. I think they have 96 entries. Just admit you are lazy and didn't get around to it...or...like me didn't enter because of professional considerations (i.e. modeling contracts or maybe it was professional considerations).
Fan's Attic, you make it sound like we were invited to participate in this competition, and we turned it down out of laziness or shyness or some such thing.
To repeat ourselves: we had no idea this competition existed until we read a whole pantload of emails from bloggers begging us to vote for them.
We were not notified of the competition. your suggestion that all it took was an invite from the "Ladies" makes us smart all the more. We were not invited.
You will not make us cry!
Big BM is so very correct; we are a very handsome collection of bloggers, people would be amazed at it...oh and our personal hygene is above reproach...mostly.
And as of yesterday, we now include a published author of a novel...Yeah Badcock!
oh...i was just giving you shit...don't cry. i don't think there was an invite just an announcement on deadspin.
now i'm just accusing you of not knowing what is posted on deadspin.
Ah, internet popularity contests. You thought you were done with high school years ago? Think again, suckers!
Does jess count as a groupie?
Sorry No-wood, based on Jess's own blog I think she's into dudes with mullets.
Hard to pull off a mullet with the male-pattern baldness, buddy.
I remember when you used to look like a low-rent Jim Morrison ...
When did I blog about being into dudes with mullets? Sure, if they're spectacular I can't possibly resist. But you so rarely see spectacular mullets these days.
I thought my frequent commenting qualified me for groupie status. What more do y'all want from me?
More groupie-like behavior will do nicely.
Oh and Badcock, I can still pull off a Jewey Afro better than you. Probably due to your questionable lineage. Male pattern baldness my ass.
I don't really know the standards for being a blog groupie. Are we talking more along the lines of athlete groupie or band groupie? Those are my areas of expertise.
Which one is more morally questionable? That one will be fine.
Ooooooh, that's a tough one. But I think I'm going to go with the athlete groupies in this case.
In that case, you should check out the new line of baseball groupie inspired clothing by Alyssa Milano. Now women need not choose between showing extensive cleavage or donning styles that are officially sanctioned by MLB.

While I do so appreciate Ms. Milano's efforts to provide women's MLB gear that is not pink, she's given the Twins very little love. One shirt? Thanks, Alyssa.
