We're just a few days before the holidays, and here are some gifts I wish for those in the sports world this Christmas...

1.  Pat Bowlen, Denver Broncos owner.  The common sense to let Mike Shanahan, VP of football ops go and get someone who has a better eye for talent.  Shanahan the VP of ops has let Shanahan the coach down big time. 

2.  Colorado Buffaloes.  A verbal commitment from Darrell Scott, the top RB prospect in the country.

3.  Atlanta Falcons.  Anybody who wants to be there.  I feel for Arthur Blank.

4.  Jamal Tinsley.  Common sense not to be out at 2 a.m. anymore.  Dude, wake up and realize nothing good happens at 2 a.m.

5.  Roger Clemens.  The guts to put actions behind words and start dropping lawsuits if you're truly innocent.  As John Smoltz said...if that were me and I'm innocent, I'd come out swinging (from the Jim Rome show about a week ago)

6.  NY Mets.  A front line starter.  Without one, the Mets are doomed for another year like last year. 

7.  Oliver Perez.  Some control.  Stuff of a #1, control of a #4.

8.  The NBA.  Anybody but the Sprus winning the west...too dull for me to watch.  Phoenix, Denver, Dallas...HELLO???

9.  The NHL.  Relevence, and common sense to beg ESPN to show your product again.

10.  Florida Marlins Ownership.  Realization that you'll never succeed in south Florida and get out of there.  The fans couldn't care less.  Besides, you can't watch baseball in Florida in the summer outside...it's unbearable. 

11.  Steve Moore.  Justice in your lawsuit.  No player has been wronged by a peer anymore than you have been. 

12.  NY Knicks...Isiah hitting the streets and taking that god awful owner James Dolan with him.  Together they've ruined the Knicks and make them  more of a soap opera than pro wrestling.

13.  College football fans.  Show enough outrage to demand a playoff system so this great sport gets a true national championship

14.  To all of you that you get everything on your list to Santa. 

Happy Holidays everyone!
