ESPN's SportsNation, the afternoon show featuring Michelle Beadle and some guy, is having an 8-man contest in order to determine their "Awesomest Dude of the Year." Among the eight nominees is the Minnesota Vikings' own sackmaster, Jared Allen.

The first round of voting is ends tomorrow, and it looks like our guy is going to need all of the help he can get, as he's been matched up against Tim Tebow and his legions of Tebowmaniacs, brother. You can vote by going to SportsNation's FaceBook page and voting for the match-ups.

The other match-ups feature NBA superstars Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant going head-to-head, Ultimate Fighter Jon Jones taking on the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and extreme sports star Travis Pastrana duking it out with U.S. Women's Soccer team goalie Hope Solo, who really isn't a dude at all.

So, head on over and vote for Jared Allen, folks. It takes about five seconds or so, at most. Enjoy!
