I'm Just Saying... The mumblings of a sane mind...

Dear Santa, all Dr. Midnight & The FOXBloggers want for Xmas is this...
Dec 23, 2005 | 4:10PM | report this

Yo RedMan (not the rapper), er, Mr. Claus. Can I call you Brother Santa?

Relax, this isn't about me. I'm thinking of my fellow men and women, so here goes. Get that pen and pad ready. I was thinking that my friends in the the FOX Blog World could help me on this if they want.

Anyhow, here is my list:

David Stern - A FUBU jogging suit, just so he could abide by a better dress code when he sits courtside.

Larry Brown - The patience of Job while he works his magic on the Knicks. And a true point guard who can put up with Larry Brown.

Kobe Bryant - Ben-#### for his shooting arm.

Phil Jackson - A true number two scorer to pair with Kobe. 

Marvin Lewis - An AFC Title Game matchup against the Colts.

Terrell Owens - A clue and some self-esteem. Yeah Santa, I said self-esteem. There is a real difference between loving yourself and being in love with yourself. If that's too tall an order, how about a series called, "The Surreal Life: Terrell and Donovan"?

Brett Favre - A coach who isn't awed by The Legend Of Brett Favre. You know a coach who will see one of those "What in the @#&*#$@ was he thinking!" throws that Brett is good for three times a game, and ask him, "WHAT IN THE @^(*@#  ARE YOU THINKING!"

Jose Canseco - A chance to play in the World Baseball Classic. Not sure which planet he'll represent yet.

Ron Artest - See Terrell Owens. Oh and Santa, go extras on the Common Sense please?

Barry Bonds - Public drug tests. And a 100% pass rate.

The NHL - Can I get back to you on that one Santa?

The Chicago Bears - A playoff game in a foot of snow. I love snow Santa...

The Philadelphia Eagles Front Office - A visit from Jacob Marley. Hey, T.O. may have been a Wack-O, but you fight with every vet over money except for McNabb. It's caught up to you. Finally.

George Steinbrenner - Roger Clemens

Roger Clemens - The Boston Red Sox

Julio Franco - A chance to drive in Rickey Henderson after a single and steal of second. 

Serena Williams - A year of good health. And another S.I. Swimsuit spread, please?

And a final wish, a serious one Santa,

To Tony Dungy and Family - Peace of mind from The Man, and all of the consolation that we can muster. I'm just one of many many sports fans and others who recognize your class exceeds your considerable coaching talent. Santa, make sure that Tony knows that, ok?

Yours truly,

The Doc

You are on my favorites now. Just figured out how to add these things yesterday, and haven't had time to read everyone's while playing Santa at home.

And, Santa, for the Seahawks, a win over the Colts today, but make it a classy one. We hurt for Coach Dungy here in Seattle, too.

Good one, midnight! I liked the gift idea for Barry Bonds, and I LOVED the one for David Stern! I have a similar blog on my site (right down to the patience for Larry Brown gift). Check it out and let me know what you think. I'm an unknown blogger dying for feedback, anyway, so any comments will be welcome. Thanks, and good job!

DrMidnight,

Catching up on my blog reading today. You've made the journey worthwhile. I'm not a diehard sports fan, but you make me want to be. Nice work. I love this list. Keep it up!!!
