I don't know how long each person's list was but I'm surprised by the lack of Barner

We only voted for our top 3. My ballot was Lee, Johnny Football and Braxton. Went back and forth between Brax and Tavon for my 3rd place vote. Kinda wish I would have gone with Tavon since he didn't get any other votes.

Too bad we didn't have a little more participation but anyway, nice work jrd. Appreciate you keeping this going.
