I opened the voting ballot early so you can see who are front-runners.

http://votethegoat.com/cgi-bin/ootpou.pl?page=awards

You can vote so you can see who is up in other categories, but I will reset the votes when the season ends.

[Baker]

Fuckin' Kamida....

My best OF has injury issues...out 4 weeks, comes back for a few games...out 6 weeks, back for a week...now out another 4 weeks. This guy is a stud when he plays, which has been rare this season. Waste of $12M this season, maybe he can be halfway productive come playoff time, IF I can hold off Vegas and Souix City.
