My Sports Christmas Wish List is short and sweet, for one basic reason. I haven’t really been all that good this past year, so if Santa decides to put coal in my stocking he’ll be totally justified. In the hopes that Old St. Nick will forget my transgressions in 2006, here is what I wish for in the world of sports in 2007.
I wish that….
The City of Los Angeles finally gets an NFL expansion team. It’s a shame and a travesty that one of the country’s biggest markets doesn’t have a football team they can call their own.
Ken Griffey plays a full season without getting injured…again. This poor guy has been on the disabled list eight times since coming to Cincy. How do you break your hand playing with your kids, anyway?
Allan Iverson gets along with everybody in Denver and decides to show up at an occasional practice.
Barry Bonds breaks the all-time HR record outside of SF and gets soundly booed by opposing fans.
Mark McGwire gets into the Hall of Fame “Steroids Wing.”
T.O. grows up and stops acting like a kid who just lost his allowance for talking back to his parents.
The Boston Red Sox and LA Dodgers play in the World Series, payback for all of the aggressive free agent moves they made this past winter.
Annie Duke wins the World Series of Poker because I think she’s hot….and smart – a deadly combination.
Kobe scores 101 one night.
Somebody (Howard or Pujols?) hits five home runs in an MLB game.
An MLB pitcher wins 30 games for the first time since Denny McClain did it in 1968.
The New Orleans Saints show the world that their city is back after Katrina, with a Super Bowl win.
Florida upsets Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game, thereby creating more controversy and provoking serious talks about a playoff series.
The San Jose Sharks get into the Stanley Cup Playoffs (which will be tough with the Ducks playing like they are.)
