  1. Wait.... what about the new meteorologist Rachel Frank from Fox 61? It seems like she's taking the city by 'storm.' No pun intended. She deserves a Wild Card spot!

  2. My votes:

    1. Helen Ubinas: Hottest "real"person on the list and power-tweeter

    2. Colin McEnroe: second only to Olbermann when it comes to breath control while speaking extemporaneously.

    3. Scott Haney: role model for professional gays everywhere.

  3. I'm a fan of Rachel Frank, I second that motion, now that I am boycotting WTNH's evening newscasts for screwing over Geoff Fox after 26 years.

    BTW you need to replace the local tweeter or give a valid link, tried to follow her and it says she doesn't exist :)

  6. I predict it will come down to Craig the Pornstar and Scot Haney. They will then compete in an erotic nude wrestling match to decide the ultimate champion.

  7. Hey Jeff Lebowski...
    Scot Haney is a professional gay? As opposed to an amateur gay?

  8. The March Madness concept will make for an excellent competition but my top three in no particular order are Segarra, McEnroe, and Ubiñas. I'll be happy if I beat out Stan McCauley. ~Luis

    Scott Haney is most assuredly a professional at being gay. But he's also a great meteorologist.
