REPORT: Vote Blog Down, Chicago Bears, And Ms. Kardashian Promises To Handsomely Reward Your Efforts*
Apparently, more than just my girlfriend and cubicle buddy read Blog Down, Chicago Bears, as it is a nominee in Zoner Sports‘ Best Sports Blog Name tourney. That’s right. 48 blogs were chosen, placed in respective regions, and seeded, much like another certain tournament going on at this very moment.
Blog Down is arbitrarily ranked as a #7 seed in the Granville Waiters region. Our first worthy opponent — in what appears to be a Bears vs. Bears face-off — is six-seeded Bear Goggles On. I’m not liking the match-up logistically, but given I just want to make it into the second round, vote, vote, and vote some more. Make sure to vote on all the matchups, too, not just ours. Together we can help shock the world!
As of 5:06 PM CST today, Bear Goggles has a hefty lead, 71 to 29%. Voting for the first round ends Sunday at 11:59 PM CST.
*Kim Kardashian won’t actually doing anything if you vote.
UPDATE: Blog Down has closed the deficit to 58 to 42% as of Friday, 12:00 AM CST.

No one ever accused defensive end Adewale Ogunleye of not being smooth. Some may have questioned his consistency. The Nigerian Prince — not a nickname; dude really is a prince — proved he can be a ladies man and play good football in being awarded the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
O-Gun racked up six tackles; three of them for a loss in Sunday night’s 29-13 defeat of the Indianapolis Colts. He dropped Joseph Addai in the endzone for a safety late in the first half and stopped Dominic Rhodes on a fourth-and-1 early in the fourth quarter. Both plays seemed critical to maintaining the Bears’ momentum.
If you remember correctly, it was after this game that Ogunleye stated Peyton Manning “didn’t know what the hell was going on” in reference to his uncharacteristic play. (more…)
