Hotdog & Friends

Sager Bombs

So maybe you’ve noticed we’ve got new ads on the site.  We’ve teamed up with the good folks at Yardbarker, who will now be giving us the tools to make 10 Million Theoretical Internet Dollars.  Anyways, you might have also noticed that they’re advertising a trip to a fight at the Playboy Mansion.  More important for this story, they also offered a similar trip to blogs that were members of the network.  The challenge was to write two paragraphs explaining why you should be selected for the trip.  After the jump, what I wrote:

Listen, because I’m going to be honest with you.  Hot Dog & Friends is a blog that primarily covers Seattle-area sports.  Have you paid attention to the last 6 months in Seattle-area sports?  Unless you’re from there or truly, embarrassingly emo, you’ve probably avoided it in the same way people don’t stare directly at the ugly kid.  Our baseball team is the laughing stock of the league and just fired their GM in the middle of the season.  The head coach of our just above mediocre football team (but they’re consistent!) is a lame duck and the front office decided to give the controls to… Jim Fucking Mora?  Our professional men’s basketball team is being stolen.  Our professional women’s basketball team is staying.  And the less we say here about Washington collegiate athletics these days the better.  Trust us.
 
Things are so damn depressing that we’re damn near about to bring grunge back.  And no one wants that.  Even people in Philly are starting to think we’ve got it bad.  Or maybe it’s just the city’s collective diabetic coma making them soft.  You, however, hold a possible antidote to our grief.  Titties.  Alcohol.  And grown men beating the living shit out of each other.  This holy trinity just might back us up from the ledge and remind us all of the positive of sport.  Ok… it would only remind one of us.  Whatever.  You gotta start somewhere.  Oh, and we won’t get kicked out, puke, or pass out under a pinball machine in the game room.  Promise.  We totally haven’t done that in weeks. 

Long story short, I won the trip.  I will be representing HD&F nation at the mansion next week.  Expect a detailed wrap-up post afterwards.  You can expect alcohol and me not getting laid to be part of it. 

UPDATE: Here’s the YB post where they pick the winner.  Turns out my entry was the third best, but I won the name-out-of-the-hat draft.  I knew all those blowjobs I gave wouldn’t be for nothing.
