Hey Santa, just making sure your list is up to date

Just the kind of guy I am, always thinking of others and forever giving......I thought I'd help jolly 'ole St. Nick with his Christmas list this year and he readies to pack up the sleigh---secretly hoping he overlooks the "naughty" part of the deal when he stops by my humble abode............

For Ndamukong Suh, a big, fat contract befitting the top pick in the 2010 NFL draft after ignorant Heisman voters placed him fourth in the balloting......To Randy Moss, some heart and desire to offset the declining skill set and horsesh*t attitude....To Fans of the New York Yankees, some humility and the realization the universe does not center around the obnoxiousness emitted by their fans thru the horrific sounds and finger-nail scratching broadcasts of John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.
.
To Tiger Woods, a HUGE package filled with some privacy to deal with his family issues (it is none of my business so i won't comment), and a parachute to soften the free-fall of his public persona that can only compare to my friend Gasper's fantasy baseball team every June...For Tim Tebow, a fair and decent shot in the NFL. I don't think he has any shot at success at QB, but he is a class act....A chance at a championship for Roy Halladay and for him to lead Team Pugsley back to TSBF fantasy baseball glory.
.
To the City of New Orleans,a Super Bowl championship. The memory of Hurricane Katrina will live forever, a Super Bowl title would do wonders for the folks on the Bayou....Fans of the New York Giants, a 2009 season void of the playoffs....Boxer Manny Pacquiao, a win over Floyd Mayweather in March in the Fight of the Century.
.
For Raymond Guy, his rightful place in the NFL Hall of Fame...To the Dallas Cowboy organization....some class--i think i requested this last year, Mr. Claus forgot----obviously.....For the NBA, a reason for me to care again after 12 years of ambivalence....A quick maturation period for the 09-10 North Carolina Tar Heel basketball team....A rules manual for Kentucky coach John Calipari.
.
For our brave service men and women around the world, safety with hopes that all will be home soon. Sadly, there are too many d-bags on the planet to realistically hope for world peace, but I am grateful each and every day for the effort of our true heroes.

.
For my bride, a better me this year. The best is yet to come.
.
For me, the luckiest man in the world, I don't need a whole lot. Although, tickets to the Winter Classic would be nice with a much bigger prize in sight in June for my beloved Boston Bruins.
