So please do me a favor and nominate me for a 2010 Bloggie , in the “Best Sports Weblog” category. Details on what you need to do — as well as suggestions for other blogs you might want to nominate (cuz you have to nominate at least three blogs (not necessarily in the same category, though) — are in my post from Friday .
