Our post yesterday on South Florida's 11 hottest newsmen drew a lot attention in the Twittersphere and even a damned funny video. Moms got involved.

Our post yesterday on South Florida's 11 hottest newsmen drew a lot attention in the Twittersphere and even a damned funny video. Moms got involved. There was a fair amount of fraternity-style backslapping. Even a congrats from our own columnist that might raise, ahem, questions about the choices... of course, we have no questions.

props to @OmarKelly = 1 of 11 "hottest male TV anchors in so fla" via @NewTimesBroward...where was I on the list?!? http://t.co/06dQBWIqKF

Read on for the other guys' reactions...

Tune in to #Local10 if you want to see the 11th hottest news man (out of 11) in Southeast Florida.

Jason Martinez, at number 11, was not completely truthful.

@DeirdraFuncheon I laughed, I cried: was it just an elaborate spoof? Then I realized my home smells of leather bound books and mahogany.

Todd McDermott was deprecating, but also maybe hitting on the writer.

Love my TV wife! "@JackieNBC6: Congratulations to my co-anchor for being 1 of SoFla's hottest newsmen #alreadyknew http://t.co/meoew8b9wv"

What are these two? June and Ward Cleaver?

@NewTimesBroward @AKuperstein Perfect for contract renegotiation!
— Brian Andrews (@brianandrews) October 24, 2013

This is what we like best about Brian. Always thinking.

@judylincoln @jrh_creative Sorry Mom.. you must not have voted enough.
— Matt Lincoln (@MattLincolnTV) October 25, 2013

Matt Lincoln seems to have been discussing the matter with his mom!!??

@Emerson1063 Bro so sorry to hear you didn't make the cut. What happened? http://t.co/wzo8ypvfYh

Steve Weagle seem to have taken the opportunity to whack his "bro."

YOU are brother. "@unclelukereal1: @LOUISAGUIRRE "@dt007 @NewTimesBroward Louis you the Man"
— Louis Aguirre (@LOUISAGUIRRE) October 24, 2013

Looks like our own columnist got involved with Louis Aguirre. Conflict of interest on our part, maybe?
