Christmas Wishes

Since it is Christmas, the season of giving and all that stuff, here is what I hope the following people find under their tree on Christmas morning.

Lebron James.... one good reason to stay with the Cavs.

Al Davis.... one first round pick that actually works out.

The N.C.A.A. ..... the realization that fans would rather see five or six play-off games than a string of meaningless bowl games.

Tiger Woods.... a little common sense, a lot of self control, and an ounce of sincerety. And the realization that you can't always fix life by throwing money at it.

The New York Yankees.... The realization that they can't always win the World Series just by throwing money at it. Oh, wait, maybe they can.

The Big Ten Conference.... a few wins in this madness we call Bowl Season.

U of Cincinnati.... a win against the Florida Gators, hopefully to inch us closer to the play-offs we desparately need in college football. It's a shame that T.C.U. and Boise St. are matched up against one another. It would have been more interesting to see them matched up against big conference teams rather than each other. Just another B.C.S. blunder in my book.

The New Jersey Nets.... a 2 game winning streak.

The Cleveland Browns.... that 1 of their 11 picks in the upcoming draft can actually be a starter.

The N.H.L. .... that someone would actually be interested. Can we get Gretzky out of retirement now that he's not coaching the Coyotes?

Major League Soccer..... that someone would actually be interested. Can we get Pele out of retirement?

And to everyone who bothers to take the time to log on to Mind Your Own Sports a great holiday season and a fantastic new year.
