WEEI.com is running a contest to find two sports bloggers for their site. Winners get a blog there and $5,000 to blog for a year:

All entries will be up to 500 words and should be focused in on the Boston sports scene, reflecting the author's wit, creativity, sports knowledge, and unique perspective to craft a piece of work which will stand out from what promises to be a sea of candidates. The deadline for submissions will be Sept. 30.

Sox and Dawgs explains:

... But my biggest problem lies with the judges of the event. While I highly respect Rob Bradford, the weei.com editior, and Michael Holley, who has written three books including "Patriot Reign" and was a sports writer for the Boston Globe prior to coming to WEEI, I just can not and will not allow myself to be judged by the likes of Gerry Callahan, Glenn Ordway and Mike Felger.

Callahan and Ordway are the biggest hypocrites of the bunch as they have done nothing but knock blogs and the people who write for them. Calling them many things but constantly referring to a lack of professionalism and accountability. They have no clue what a blog is, what it does, what its purpose is or how it relates to the topics it covers. Now these two assholes will be judging the very people they put down and mock openly on the air. Felger is a whole separate entity, he is just a pompous ass who is so full of himself as he constantly carries his big stick trying to stir the pot to see what shit rises to the top. He is why people loathe the media and the Boston Sports Media specifically. ...

Via Tom, also boycotting the contest.

Limiting entries to 500 words will disqualify me, anyway.
