MY CHRISTMAS SPORTS WISH LIST

I wish:

Serena Williams would shut the f---- up and pay her fine.

Coaches would stop yakking about their “student athletes” and just call a spade a spade--- trainees for the N.F.L, N.B.A. and M.L.B.

The N.C.A.A. would cut the B.C.S. bullshit and go to an 8-team playoff by cutting the regular season to 10 or 11 games and then holding playoffs the next two weeks and the championship on New Year’s (or thereabout).

Replays were part of every major sport---but with reasonable limits.

Sports writers were limited to 200 words or less per articles.

TV Sports commentators would appreciate the golden sound of occasional silence.

The tennis season was shortened by two months.

Baseball would go back to 154 games so the season won’t creep into November.

Baseball would stop calling it “The World Series” and call it “The National Championship Series (N.C.S.)---unless they invite international teams, like Cuba and Japan, and play it off.

Teachers could be paid at least 10% of professional athletes’ salaries.

Tiger Woods would keep his woods (and long irons) in his pants.

All of us interested and/or involved in sports could remember it’s still a game and not critical to life support.

That’ll do for starters.
