Thursday, December 25th, 2008 - Merry Christmas!

It has been a fantastic year in sports, and AskMen presents a look at the Top 10 moments of the year and you could easily argue for others...thankfully, the NBA will break the sporting darkness that started with the conclusion of the Notre Dame-Hawaii game last night, including three games getting TV coverage. The big one goes at 5pm as the LA Lakers host the Boston Celtics in a rematch of last year's championship series...I know leagues value divisional setups for the rivalries they create, and how teams stay in playoff races longer. But something seems wrong with the idea that the San Diego Chargers could be in at 8-8 while the 11-5 New England Patriots could be out in the cold come playoff time...ESPN's Rob Neyer says that after the three big moves, the New York Yankees are indeed the team to beat in 2009. Me, I cannot wait to see if it pans out that way...so there are no college bowl games today, only a handful of hoops games, and the NHL has no games scheduled? Makes no sense to me, either. But at least the Toronto Maple Leafs Brian Burke's moratorium on not trading players withing the 10 days leading up to Christmas is up. Ought to be some interesting moves in the offing now for Tomas Kaberle and others...have a great Christmas. Back tomorrow.

michelle mccool. thumbs up.

thanks yf. merry christmas and "may the winners be yours."

there is no tangible reason for this whatsoever, but i often find when it's an "isolated" nba day (i.e. every thursday) that the results often are from the dep't of "not what one might expect."
not sure if it's league drama-building or what, but ...

Merry Christmas to you all.

YF Canada beat Slovakia 7-0 the other night. Haven't played the Czech's yet. Dunno about -2.5 as they tend to start slow in these tourneys. Sweden is worth a look.

And TB thanks for the Christmas "Carols".
