If there is a tie after this Overtime voting ends, the higher seed will advance.

PAT! PAT! PAT! PAT! PAT!

guys, i have been in lenny's circle over a period of years. he is not only a hot athlete but a truly outstanding person - not a homophobic bone in his body.

you gotta vote for lenny -trust me on this one!!

Screw that! A win for Pat Burrell is a win for everything that is good in the world -- no, the UNIVERSE!!

HA! I just voted and then viewed the results - knotted at 4 apiece.

lol.

just trying to provide some inside information if we were considering character as part of the voting equation!!

Lenny's hairless body REALLY appeals to me but I gotta dance with the one who brung me.

well, I would love even more inside information wink

I have been enamored with Lenny since the mid-90's. I put him as a #15 seed because I didn't think anyone else thought the guy was hot since his glory days in swimming "has past".

Don't forget if this OT session ends up in a tie, Burrell has the advantage of being the higher seed so he will move on!

No you don't....you're a tramp, remember wink

I voted for EVIL.... muahahahahahaha

So, Pat's seed is more valuable than Lenny's? I knew it!

all i feel comfortable saying is that i knew lenny from my swimming days. he is a man of tremendous fortitude.

he came back from a debilitating injury last year to make the olympic team, when he was considered washed up and finished in 2003. that takes guts and shows, in my opinion, the character of that guy. if anyone has ever met him, you would be blown away by both his work-ethic and his sincerity.

Well, in that case, last week I voted for Minnesota!!!

I just broke the tie. Pat leads by 1 vote!

That's all right, that's OK, you'll be working for us someday.

This is all terribly exciting!

No so fast, mister! A vote for Lenny has just been received so we are now tied!

Maybe this will help. Who's packing the bigger bat?
Pat's Bat

or
Lenny's Bat

I just voted for Lenny!!

I loved his Monster.com commercial (I think it was that)

lol!! you guys are too funny. i just stumbled on this site by accident a few days ago and have been sort of obsessesed with it.

i am at school now - where i should be doing real work - but you guys keep me entertained.

and as you your question, as i said i only know lenny so draw your own conclusions.

Yeah, well who wants someone who's unemployed? He swam in the Olympics and still can't get a job? Hello? Loser! Pat Burrell works for a living and makes serious bucks, and will make many MORE serious bucks in the next few years -- guaranteed! So all you gold-digging ho's, vote for the better catch!! Vote for the guy who said to Penthouse that he NEVER wears underwear! VOTE PAT!!!

Lenny, Lenny, he's our MAN! wink Up by 2 now.

Oh the anticipation

Oh yeah? Well, I want him to prove it. Prove to us that he never wears underwear! Show us the money...shot!

Actually, his exact quote is, "I never, ever wear underwear." He was my inspiration to join the freeballing world.

KsigSpartan

Good man - for your wise support of Lenny, I promise to dedicate my weekend to rooting for your Spartan mens' and women's basketball teams!!

Why, thank you :cool: !

Despite--or because of--Joe's best efforts, Lenny now leads by seven. What a shocking upset this could be.

~Adam

That's awesome. hahahhah!


And from what Joe In Philly said, I better make sure that I eat a fattening meal and have sex before 3pm eastern since Pat is losing and the world is gonna end. wink

Looks like I need to come up with 10 new usernames and e-mail addresses VERY quickly!

We've got a little more than an hour to go in Overtime and Lenny has increased his lead to 11.

You can hear Lenny fans chanting in te background "over-rated" clap, clap,clapclapclap "over-rated"....

Will that spark a surge in Burrell votes? If anyone has some skin shots of Burrell, you better post them now!

Poll closes at 11:59am.

This is a fraud! There must be a recount! I see hanging chads all over the place!

I was going to save my vote 'ti later tonight, because I thought the polls closed at midnight. I just realized they close at noon. Why only 5 hours of voting? I bet many people won't even see the poll until it's all over.

See, JIP, that is the problem. Burrell just leaves all the Chads hanging...

JIP posted:

"Vote for Pat or I will leave this board forever.

Or: Vote for Pat or I will post twice as much as I do now.

Take your pick. Either way, if Pat loses I will make your lives miserable. Miserable, I tell you!"

See what happens when you threaten voters? Pat lost and now we have to wonder how you are going to carry out your threat. Wonder if we should start a poll on that?

you guys are too much on this board!! i was cracking up reading some of these comments.

i can tell you emphatically, that if lenny ever knew that a gay message board were conducting a , he would be the first one laughing his head off about it but would be the ultimate a good sport about it. i venture to say he would even fashion himself a t-shirt that read " vote for lenny". hey maybe i can be his campaign manager going forward!!

this is just too funny.

i was typing too fast for my brain. i meant to say:

And what were you doing to advance Pat's cause?...oh lord, I sound like...never mind. Anyway, I'm going to use mass hypnosis. Everyone who wants me to leave will see my name on every post. Everyone who wants me to stay will never see my name again.

i only found out about this site/board a few days back but do you guys have or have had these types of polls about other swimmers?

i was a former competitive swimmer both in college and beyond and this site has definitely peeked my curiosity about what may have gone on behind most of the swimmer's backs, unbeknownst to them/us.

i am very intrigued

Hey Bryant, welcome to Outsports! I'm gald you're having fun. Just jump right in & don't be shy.

We do have a hot swimmers thread.

Hot Swimmers

I ran this King of the Hardwood competition two years ago, but didn't do one last year. I thought Bobby and others were going to string me up for not including Andy Grant! You can check out the other threads KOTH thread or click on the brackets to see how the competition has gone so far. And have fun.

Oh, and feel free to tell Lenny about the board!
He has a good shot at defeating Ausmus in the Sweet 16, but he's going to need all the "Vote Lenny T-Shirt" help he can get in defeating David Carr (if Carr defeats Gambill) in the Elite Eight.

mariner duck boy -

thanks for the post. you guys know andy grant huh? i am impressed that you are all up on your cardinal sports figures. big fan of all things cardinal here.

if my recollection serves me right, andy did not make it to athens last summer or do too well at the qualifiers in long beach last june.

i would have thought you guys would have gone with brendan hanson over lenny but, hey, what do i know.

Lenny Krayzelburg!!! Just rooting for the cute, nice Jewish boy .

I met Lenny while covering the Janet Evans last year and he was super nice and cooperative. He even cooperated with Brent for a photo.

When he faces Brad Ausmus, we'll have our choice of two cute, nice Jewish boys--why do I never have this problem in life?

Amen to that. It might be nice to vote in one of these competitions, but every time I click on what appears to be the most recent poll thread I find out the voting closed very shortly after it began.

So I guess opinions on player hotness only count if you have the discussion boards open 24/7 and are prepared to jump as soon as a new poll appears.

Until Pat Burrell starts coming out with pics like these, Lenny's got my vote....

And of course, pics like these don't hurt either...

The voting periods have been 48 hours long, except for the overtime race. It's a tournament of 64, so there are a great deal of contests. If you kept voting open for like a week then the tourney would take forever. Also, the threads would probably drop down the list and disappear from some people's screens after those of us who read the site daily got done voting.

bryant

can i vote for you? where is your picture?

gideon

gideon

LMAO - i saw your post! in truth, i am not very "out" in my life, but working on it, so not likely to see many pics of me - your knowing it was me!

enjoy lenny though. he is a terrific person and far more worthy than me.
