Final Push: Voting for "BOB" Awards ends Monday

PrintWell this is it. Voting for the Sun-Sentinel's "Best of Blogs" Awards ends at 10 am eastern on Monday. So it will all come down to this weekend.
And right now, while we are first in the "sports" category, we are only in second place overall.
So why should you care? There are many reasons, some of which are documented after the jump. But the biggest reason, in my opinion, is that - as the blogger over at "Photography Is Not A Crime" points out - this is nothing more than a "popularity contest." And PINAC is urging their readers to vote and is currently in first place overall, one spot ahead of us. But I know that we have the best - and most dedicated - community on the internet. So I'm urging all of you to take this personally and vote for our community once per day between now and Monday.
You can vote for us both in the "sports" category as well as in the "best overall blog" category. Directions on how to do so and more reasons why you should (the author of the blog currently in first dissed the Dolphins, for example) are after the jump.
And P.S. - I know some are probably sick of hearing about this. But this is the last post I will make about this competition. After all, we got the Combine and free agency to worry about now!
So let me break it down for you to show you step by step how easy it is to vote:
There are two separate places to vote. Here's what you need to do.
1. Create a free Sun-Sentinel account (requires valid e-mail address). Click here to do that.
2. Click here and scroll down to the category of "sports" and click the "vote" link under The Phinsider.
3. Click here to vote for The Phinsider as the best overall blog in South Florida. You can type in "The Phinsider" into the search box on the screen. Then click on "The Phinsider" when it pops up and click "vote for best overall."
That's all - you're done!
So what are more reasons you should vote? How about how arrogant the blogger over at PINAC seems to be, writing:
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel Best of Blogs Awards contest has become more of a popularity contest than an indicator of who has the best blog down here. Otherwise, I would be in first place rather than eighth place in the Best Overall Blog Standings. And I know that’s tooting my own horn, but I’ll throw this blog against any other South Florida blog as far as number of readers, comments, Alexa ranking and national impact goes.
Or how about the shot he took at our Miami Dolphins:
If The Phinsider is anything like the Miami Dolphins, it will fizzle out in the final round.
He also goes on to talk about ridiculous stats like his "Alexa ranking" and other pointless web stats. But here's the bottom line: we have a kick-ass community. He has posts with like 10 comments...on a good day.
So take two minutes each day over the next few days and vote for our outstanding community! After all, it's inhumane if you don't! Not to mention, I'm sending Jake Long, Justin Smiley, and Jake Grove after all of you if we don't win this thing.
Let's get it done!!
And thanks for all the support!

I could understand if maybe some of the other blogs had a shot against us
but PINAC? It’s dumb and a waste of time. All they do is whine about police doing their job.

Good hell...
… that PINAC dude is ass.
If you’re gonna talk about LE brutality, show some. I didn’t see a thing about brutality. And why is it always during the arrest, why not during the crime so we get both sides?
Yeah, it’s always the innocent, go figure.
If the dude at PINAC wants to be known as one of the better blogs, than he should put up some good information, not that “Oooo” freedom of speech cloaking he’s got going on there. I can read through all the supossed hassle those photographers are getting. P-a-l-e-e-z

I became a member of the SN Chiefs, Chargers and Broncos blogs yesterday
I had to wait a day before I could post a fanpost but that time is soon to expire.
Since the convict declared his allegiance to the Raiders I figured there would be plenty of help at those three blogs.
We’ve got this is everyone gets in on it. Make sure that you give the gift of a Sun-Sentinel profile to all your loved ones. While you’re creating it go ahead vote for the Phinsider since they would have anyway.

Come on, guys
I swear I must have coerced family, friends and relatives by the dozen to vote, not to mention enrolling my cat and most of the Dolphins roster cough cough. Don’t you want Ricky Williams to vote for us ten more times? Let’s win this thing and do it with style!
So I figured with all the interaction we have with the Chiefs that they would be the ones to help
That plus their hatred for the Raiders I thought would get it done. Figured since they were in SBN that it would be cool. The opposite went on.
The Chiefs guys actually deleted the fanpost and the Chargers and Broncos guys are the ones being really cool about it. Their hatred for the Raiders runs deep like ours for the Jets.
Anyway guys, try and direct some of your other Fins groups to the BOB page. A big surge tomorrow(as well as tonight) will get the job done.

If I had read this earlier, I would have jumped over
to the Saints blog….no doubt they would have helped out Matty.
To this day I still love their fans, and the interactions we had.

the only other one I'm part of is the Jets
It’s really pissed me off that I can’t remove it. I know I’ll head over there again once we play but from now until then I don’t want to be listed as a member of their blog.
Since I’m stuck with access I try to stop in from time to time and point out that the editor made a post three days ago and no one has commented yet. I’m surprised they haven’t banned me….wait…is that the way to get it removed? Have I found the loophole?
Anyone been banned form another SBN blog out there that can tell me if it removes it from your list of member blogs?
