I have some good news and some bad news.

First the good news. With the help of Pacer fans and those appreciative of the feistiness inherent in his game, Jeff Foster defeated Joel Anthony in the first round of the HoopsAddict Floor Burn Tournament.  Despite the Ball Don't Lie campaign for his opponent, Foster crushed Anthony by earning over 73% of the votes, which turned out to be more than 3,000 votes.

Now, for the bad news. Foster's second round opponent turns out to be the baby eating machine, Jason Maxielle. The early returns project a rough road for Jeff, so get out and vote here to make things respectable. 

Wait a minute! Now I see what's holding Foster back. It appears the Skeets Kiss of Death is in full effect, as the wily wiry one tried to pump up Foster for the second round. Oh, well.
