VOTE: The Dream Shake For Houston's Best Sports Blog

VOTE HERE

Great news guys: sports blogging awards exist. They also exist in Houston and not just in D.C. Guess which fun-loving Rockets blog that rhymes with Ream Hake snuck into the running?

Yup, the Dream Shake is a finalist. A real, legitimate, not-just-my-mom-pranking-me finalist. We're under the category for best sports blog in Houston, though I was hoping to snag an additional spot as one of six nominees on the Health/Fitness/Medical list. Surely, the Houston Rockets could yield enough injury posts to at least make people consider it.

Major kudos to whoever nominated us, and thank you for the kind words. I'm telling you, considering the company we're with on that list, it means a lot.

If we win this, I somewhat promise that all of your wildest dreams will come true. Heck, all of my wildest dreams will come true, because my dreams are sort of lame.

OR VOTE HERE.

We're quickly approaching 3 million visitors and 6 million page views. So if all of you would like to come back and vote, that would be just fantastic.

I nominated us

But the description is not mine, so kudos from me as well to whoever gave us the nod. Cool that BRB and Dynamo Theory from SB Nation are also nominated.

I saw BRB and decided to vote for them.

Or I nearly voted for them.

I ended up voting for TDS, mainly because I was on here first.

Voted for TDS, because this is my first blog

Also my first opportunity to write anything-sports related thanks to the FanPosts section.

If you're a fan of basketball, watch a movie called Sonicsgate. It's free, just google it.

This is awesome.

I have grown to love this blog, and enjoy being a part of it. (Although I can’t really say I produce anything of substance.) Go TDS!

You got my vote

Almost voted for Pendergast, but I went with TDS.

Voted again today

And we absolutely belong on the Health/Fitness/Medical list, too. You’ve got one medical student on staff, as well as a few more who read the site.

voted TDS

because,,,,,well I don’t like any other houston sports teams lol

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
