We decided to get into the holiday spirit, and help Santa with his list since he’s probably forgetful now that he’s 1,852 years old. Plus we know he checks Doin Work regularly, and if he isn’t listening to our advice, it’s probably the Santa at Macy’s that drank himself into blurry vision that is reading our regular visitor instead.

Randy Moss – traded twice in one season, some say due to the bad mouth and worse attitude he has decided to display in the twilight of his career
What Randy wants for Xmas – A few more TDs to pad his career stats, another trip to the Pro Bowl to lock up a first ballot HOF vote, and I maybe a SB win, but that’s a team thing so maybe not.
What Randy gets from Santa – the first two 0 target games of his career, a suit case that doesn’t need unpacking, and apparently bad Mexican food in Minny.
Dustin Johnson – Led late in two different Majors this season, and came up short in each, with a major blunder in the PGA that cost him a spot in a playoff.
What DJ wants for Xmas – More accuracy with that canon driver he has, or maybe the sense to use his 3 wood more often since he hits that 300 yards easy.
What DJ gets from Santa – Lessons learned the hard way for the talented 26 year old, a top 5 on the money list, a top 15 in world rankings, $4.5M in earnings and a RULE BOOK with the bunker section highlighted.

The San Francisco Giants – this was definitely not the year the Giants were to win the World Series, but behind strong pitching and timely play from their vets, they ended the torture
What they want from Xmas – Nothing at this point: the people of San Francisco are flying high, led by the band-wagoners. A solid SS and an big bat for the OF would be great additions. Getting rid of Barry Zito’s contract would be nice.

All solid choices.
SportsChump, however, is a two-tier blogger, simultaneously being both naughty AND nice.
So I got that going for me.

TO’s antics now seem tame when measured against Ochocinco’s and Mayweather’s . I hope Floyd does major time when his a_s goes on trial early next year !
Jets’ strength and conditioning coach Sal Aloso (Jersey born and bred so one can assume he’s related to either Snooki or The Situation) gives a new meaning that it was an accident when an opposing Dolphins’ player tripped over his leg as he raced down the sidelines . It was a deliberate act and could’ve seriously injured the player.
Cam Newton’s dad Cecil the preacher now says that the Lord understood his actions ? Well I guess his a_s is on his way to heaven then ?
It’s Not Always About The Money But Common Sense And Where The Heart Takes You …..

Yeah, TO was on the in-between list. He’s been pretty good this year, but naughty for many years before!
I have a strong feeling that your right. Floyd might be in jail when the trial is all done. I guess he probably has a lot of money to spend on the lawyers though 🙂
Cecil is almost as famous as his son these days! He might be forgiven by the the lord, but he won’t be forgiven by Santa. I think coal is coming his way…

Hahahaha, I love the Ben Roethlisberger call….. making the nice list for not raping anymore girls.

[…] these past few weeks is they’ve actually won me some coin. Being that we just finished our “Naughty” or “Nice” list, and Christmas is around the corner I think it’s only right I ask Santa for one thing. No […]
