E5. Contract in your head already, Mr. Longoria?

@StevePerryPsychOut: Have we figured out the stars yet or resigned ourselves to saying it's 35?

I'm still pushing for Sneetch equality (i'm up to 23...)

@Rock You Like An Iracane: I have 28 I think. And no star. I'd assume that's about right.

already Nibs? Seriously?

@Rock You Like An Iracane: I think it's 35, but I just became a follower of you...so you're close.

Nibbles, already with 'punch the hamster'? really?!?

@StevePerryPsychOut: I am up to 35, so here goes.

No Ape this weekend? Doesn't he need the extra paycheck?

@TheStarterWife: He's on the radio right now.

[www.blogtalkradio.com]

@The Fan's Attic: 37 so far and no star.

@TheStarterWife: That's what I was about to say. Couldn't he be permanent weekend daddy 'til he finds another full time gig?

@J-No: Make that 36.

head asplode. I'll be back later, hopefully with more patience.

Is the hamster already gettin' his Goose on?

I'm at 35, too.

@TheStarterWife: How much does Denton pay weekend daddies? 'Cause I think not much.

@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado: Thanks!

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Hate to tell you, but they are given out by editors.

Heh. At this point, I'm just going to follow everybody.

I've been commenting here since August of 2006 and I only have 31 followers. You'd think I'd be a bit more well known. Oh well, I guess that's what I get for having a schedule that doesn't allow me to comment anytime besides DU!AN.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: I suppose if one could drive the page views up they could do ok for two days work.

What is it about this stars that has everybody wetting their pants?

I'm at a completely honest loss...

@chilltown: So were the editors just fucking with us and giving people stars when they reached a certain number of followers so they could watch us pander for friends and laugh?

I could see Denton doing that to his little prank monkeys (us).

@chilltown: That is how it was in the beginning, but then they changed it to followers. Or so we were told.
/suspiciously eyes everyone

@longefellowes: You know how I know you're a stalker?

@J-No: But now you have to set me up on a date with Candace Parker. ;-)

@being_sven: People are trying to make the stars irrelevant. If everyone has one, they mean nothing and therefore it'll be like there was never an "honor" to go with them.

I'm speed posting, and I don't know why. I haven't even hung out with winslow...if you know what i mean.

@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado: I will look for her parents this weekend. I will keep you posted.

I'm at 14. And I think three of them were deleted. And that's okay. I'm a loner, like Bill Bixby.

@TattooedMess(iah): Surely, somebody has referenced the 'pieces of flair'-ness of this all by now...

Nice to see the Texas pitching staff return to their normal selves. As for sweetest facial hair, Rangers manager Ron Washington's stache would make Richard Pryor proud.

@being_sven: I liked the commenter bracket better. I was in the bracket and won my first round, but lost in the 2nd to a 1 seed.

@being_sven: The Nazis has flair they made the Jews wear.
(And they were stars too!!!)
/Godwin's law

If your had April 18th in the Ben Sheets gets injured pool...YOU WIN!

And I have a whopping 4 followers, so I guess I am the kid at school who ate alone at the dining commons and creeped everyone else out, right?

@Fat-Fat: Uggghhhh. Not that I'm not happy, but he was doing so well. That is a shame.

@DennyCrane: Thank You, that quote has been bouncing around my brain everytime this subject came up the past few days.

@The Awful Logo Face: I follow you. And I am sticking with you.

Good night guys and gals, I have to go to the corner tavern for a bit. See you later.

@J-No: Is there a commentor NIT? Because that is where I belong. Of course, it would be a lot better than Maine basketball has ever accomplished.

@J-No: You're the best!

@DennyCrane: So... should I be expecting the gas chamber or the firing squad?

@The Awful Logo Face: Deadspin = Mean Girls?

@J-No: later tater.

@DennyCrane: I'm not mean. That'll cost you extra ;)

@J-No: The solidarity is always appreciated.

One of these days, Nibbles, one of these days... Bang! To the moon!

@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado: Blind date with a Jezee, and not Katie.

@Hank Scorpio-Steinbrenner: Really? Do tell...

@TattooedMess(iah): @J-No: You may be right. I do have exactly 35 followers, and god knows real life has kept me away from Deadspin recently.

@The Awful Logo Face: Did you happen to go to a boarding school? Because dining commons is certainly not a public school thing.

I have been watching Steven A. Smith's Isiah ESPN commentary over and over.

"You're trying to act like they have assets. THEY DON'T HAVE ASSETS."

"THE NEW YORK KNICKS HAVE BEEN A BASKETBALL ATROCITY."

"You've got a guy like Jerome James who has been ABSOLUTE GARBAGE."

Pure Genius!!! Come on back cheese doodles, all is forgiven.

@longefellowes: I can't think of a harsher punishment for Gawker to hand out to a deadspinner. They don't seem to be very big fans of ours over there.

Matt Sussman!?! Now that your name is out there blogging you're going to get fired from BlogCritics.
