    Pleas to mags: help a ski racer win!

    Really great girl (seriously, have coached her for six or seven years and she is the type of kid who constantly tries as hard as she can, is great with coaches/teammates, and is nice to everyone) up for athlete of the week--not sure if ski racers ever have a chance, but please vote for her! I don't know if it's remotely possible for her to beat the basketball players, swimmer, or track and field girl, but let's see if the mags can move these (not good) numbers a little.

    Watched her hook a tip training GS Sunday and slam hard. Wind knocked out of her and in tears--near the end of training so we told her she should stop. Later that day (in the rain) she was out with the little kids on the tiny handle tow hill helping them with drills. She is just a really good kid...

    Thank you! Unfortunately I think we may need about 1000 more like you, but it would be great to turn the tide even a bit...

    Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.

    It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

    I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

    If you scroll down a poll should appear with push buttons for each athlete, and a “vote” button.

    Thanks, mags.

    She has moved up almost a percentage point, but I shudder to think what kind of social media thing that track and field girl at 37% has going on.

    Maybe we could pay for some twitter bots to vote for her or something.

    We need Bobby to get out and press the flesh like he did for James.

    you can't reload the incognito window
    you have to re-click the link in OP to get a fresh incognito vote window
    then, it works fine

    I just put through 10+ incognito votes and moved her up .22%. That T&F girl apparently somehow got a hundred thousand people to vote for her.
    Kids these days and their social media prowess definitely make us old farts look inadequate in the ways of the vote stacking.
    Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

    Thanks for the effort, guys. I guess this is a lost cause. At least we helped move her up a little.

    Wonder how that track and field girl did it.
