Jane Moves On To The Championship (Barely)/Weekend News Stuff/ Cheerleader Tournament Week-Long Championship
Wow...that is a long title for a blog.
First of all, congrats to Jane for beating Kristina by the slimmest of margins! At the time of this post, the score was 15-14 in favor of Jane and that is good enough for victory (especially coming off of the heels of that tie). Jane moves on to face Erin in the Championship to determine the favorite Orlando Magic Cheerleader on the internet. On a side note it is interesting that April and Kristina, the two semi-finalists that came super close to advancing to the championship, are the two cheerleaders on the top of the EB Sports Forum. Perhaps Erin and Jane will need to take over that helm since they have proven to be the fan favorites?
Not much of note happened this weekend. In the Magic rumor mill, there are still plenty of people talking about a potential trade that would land the Magic "Chris Kaman nut-grabber" Reggie Evans in exchange for Pat Garrity's expiring contract. As I said in a previous post, I am wary about trade rumors involving Garrity. So many Magic fans want his contract off of the books that his name has appeared in more trade rumors than anyone, despite his complete lack of usefulness to a team (besides his expiring deal). If this trade picks up steam and is reported by a notable news source, you can bet it will be featured here more often. For now, seems like it should be taken with a grain of salt.
In less interesting news, 
the Orlando Sentinel ran a piece today about how Alex Martins was the guy behind the scenes who got the stadium deal done. This is considered 'less interesting' by me simply because Martins wasn't really behind the scenes. He spoke at the county council vote, was in the Orlando Sentinel nearly every day in some capacity in the days before the county council meeting, and even had county council commissioner (say that three times fast) Mildred Fernandez say he was so eloquent she hopes he doesn't run for her job.
More interesting (by far) is that McFarlane toys will release a Dwight Howard figure, slated for 
release this winter. Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry are also going to be in the line. Hmmm....which of those names doesn't fit? I can't imagine kids yelling at their parents in a frenzied mode to get a Jason Terry figure before it sells out. I can already see myself wading through hundreds of Jason Terrys to see if there is a Dwight Howard figure left.
Other than that, not much going on.
As mentioned in Friday's post, this week the site will be having a week-long competition to name the winner of the Orlando Magic Cheerleader Tournament. You can click on the images of the finalists for more photos.
Without further ado, who do you want as the winner of the Cheerleading Tournament? Erin or Jane?
