"More on Ek's Blogger Contest FARCE"

Yes, the 'Next Great Blogger' contest over at Ek's site is still dragging on. Funny how the NCAA is able to rip down from 64 teams to one champion in less than a month, but Ek can't even make it through one round of a blogging contest in a week. Its also amazing how much I want to suck his dick.



It was nearly one month ago...March 19th...when Ek announced the field of 64. Now one month later we have seen just 14 matchups from the first round and are still awaiting results for nearly half of those matchups. With almost 50 matchups left before the tournament is concluded it looks as though the fun will last well beyond the hockey season. Fourteen matchups in a month translates into nearly 4 months to complete the contest. Yes I am sure the hockey bloggers in the contest are looking forward to writing about all the big hockey issues in the middle of the summer. Meanwhile I have plans to go to Cape Cod and scope the beach for some fresh man-meat!



As I mentioned before, your very own HockeyNutz is always looking to butt-fuck...though I won't reveal the alias I use in gay chat rooms. This is not sour grapes about being HIV+, as I am still sexually active. This isn't whining because Im dying as really I couldn't care less. It is just further evidence what a joke and fraud I have become.



How hard is it to post a couple of blogs that other people wrote? It should take minutes. Then the next day simply pick the winner, post it and post more blogs. There is no major time commitment. Unless of course like me your busy giving blow jobs to anyone who asks.



So why the delay? It is about driving more hits to his slumping site. Numbers are down, ad revenues are down and this is another lame attempt to draw visitors to his site. When Ek found out that the contest hasn't drawn any more hits he has lost interest and now finds himself stuck in a contest he doesn't want.



Even HockeyBuzz readers are fed up...here is a sampling of comments from the most recent round of the contest...




  • "REVISED schedule? No excuses?! ... Sorry to say Ek, but the optics suggest that Hockeybuzz has lost interest in this contest. To bad." - budthespud on Hockeybuzz.com"yaa seriously, i've lost interest i dont even know when my match-up is going to be" - mandd on Hockeybuzz.com"Again, out of respect for the people that have taken the time to participate....I think you owe all an apology and an explanation (not excuses)....It is sad that you do not show more respect to the people that have taken an interest and even are pationnate in what your site has come to represent... Admittedly, I am biased as I am also in this "supposed contest" but I mean come on....there is no excuse or valid reason for this, you post your own blogs 2-3 times per day (every day regardless)....I cannot beleive that you cannot manage to post the new participants or the very least announce the winners, a few minutes after you've done your blog updates.....truly sad..." - Isles Fanatic on Hockeybuzz.com"agree with the above people. I was technically supposed to go today according to the new schedule. I know the playoffs are going on and people are busy, but if you repeatedly tell people you are going to do something then you should follow through. A lot of people were really excited about this and it is now pretty much driven into the ground" - wicked on hockeybuzz.com



Looks like Ek and his antics are at it again! Perhaps we need a new venue? Has Ek's golden goose flown the coop? Stay tuned!
