DEAR SANTA…
DEAR SANTA…
I know it’s late in the game, and that you are probably flying over the Ukraine in your sled right now, but I’m sure you have a wireless GPS and an iPad, so here are some last minute requests of what I’d like for Christmas in the coming year….
–First of all, I’m not sure if there is anything you can do about this, but I’d LOVE to be selected to be in the phase one clinical trial for my eye disease at the University of Pennsylvania. It would mean so much to me to be a part of an experimental trial that could possibly save whatever sight I have left for the rest of my life.
–I would like to have continued good health and mental well being in the coming year. I know Obamacare is here to rescue everybody, but I’d prefer not to have to test it.
–I’d like an official Red Ryder carbine action two hundred shot range model air rifle! What can I say. I love that movie.
–I’d like to win at least two fantasy football league changionships next year. I know I won one this year, but I’m greedy. Same for baseball. Even though I won a title this year, another one next year would be wonderful.
–I’d like to see my 14 year old dog and 21 year old cat be able to live until at least next Christmas
–I’d like to see EJ Manuel live up to his potential and become a dangerous quarterback for the Buffalo Bills next year. While I’m at it, I’d like to see the best available and highest rated offensive lineman in the draft go to the Bills to protect him. Also, I’d love to see sixteen games of 100% health for CJ Spiller.
–I’d like to see my Chicago Bulls trade Luol Deng and/or Carlos Boozer for at least one first round lottery pick in next years NBA draft.
–I would love to see Tiger Woods regain his top form and re-establish himself atop the golf world for at least one final year of past glory, winning at least one major and re-establishing himself as the worlds top golfer. It would be great for the game if he could.
–I would love to see Pat LaFontaine pick a very good head coach for the Buffalo Sabres. Speaking of the Sabres, I wouldn’t mind seeing them trade Ryan Miller if they could somehow get a first round draft pick for him. Finally, I’d love to see them draft a fast Canadian or American sniper with one of their draft picks, instead of a slow, plodding Euro or Russian forward who is big but doesn’t hit and has poor scoring abilities. It’d be nice to see one of their young draft picks who could put the puck in the net, no matter how small he may be.
–I’d really like to see my wife’s hometown team, the Denver Broncos, win the Super Bowl. It would create such happiness and family unity here in the Schaller household, and get Peyton Manning a much deserved 2nd Championship ring.
–I would like to see Kevin Durant get over the hump that is Lebron James, and finally win his first NBA championship.
–For at least one year, I would like nothing better than to see every major sport go through a season with total labor peace and harmony, with no threats of any strikes, lockouts or work stoppages of any kind.
–I would love it if somehow you could give the Syracuse Orange the national champion Santa. With exciting young point guard Tyler Ennis, CJ Fair and company, and no true dominant team out there, this shouldn’t be too hard for you, should it?
–I would love to see you get Alex Rodriguez to finally take his punishment, and have to sit out most of the
year, then have him retire soon after out of embarrassment.
–I would like to see the Yankees win one more very good starting pitcher and a solid closer. As much as I root against the Yankees, baseball is only really fun when the Yankees are good.
–Finally, I’d love to see the United States dominate the Olympic winter games, including a gold medal for the US in hockey.
I hope you all get just what you want for Christmas this year, and that you and your loved ones enjoy a happy and healthy holiday season. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
