Christmas eve
more random thoughts from a week with very little internet……
Apparently Christmas isn’t a favorite holiday at the Palin household. Seems Santa hasn’t been around much since the time Sarah served the family that fresh venison dinner.
WNBA star Diana Taurasi tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. So much for all those who said women will never be the sports equals of men.

The NCAA’s decision regarding suspending Terrelle Pryor and his OSU teammates for selling memorabilia, but not until after the Sugar Bowl, may rank as one of the most unbelievable public statements of all time. Well, at least since Bill Clinton said he would be “forsaking all others.”
–
From Gary Morton: Guess those OSU players didn’t learn much from the Cam Newton case. Otherwise they would have had their parents sell all their “souvenirs,” and they could have picked up all kinds of new swag from the Sugar Bowl.
–
And yet another thought regarding that NCAA-Ohio State nonsuspension: Hard to believe there were people just a few weeks ago who thought the NCAA couldn’t sink any lower than they did with the Cam Newton decision.
From TC, – Did Rex Ryan dress up at the Jets Christmas party as Frosty the Toeman?
–
Meanwhile, in New Orleans, local residents are shocked at the Ohio State case. Not that they would be above a little greed and corruption. But in Louisiana they would be a lot less likely to be caught so easily.
–
And at least the sort of thing that “happened” to the Buckeyes is not likely to be added to the list of sins Michigan fans have for Rich Rodriguez. Rich hasn’t taken the Wolverines to the kind of bowl where you get serious swag.
–
Lebron James thinks contraction (ie reducing teams) would be a good thing for the NBA fans. Many folks in Cleveland and around the U.S. agree with him. Starting with the Heat.

Supposedly Santa has a special gift for the Favre household this year. A Magic 8 ball with only one answer.

And who is most likely to be dreaming in vain of a White Christmas? Lindsay Lohan at the Betty Ford Center.

“Supposedly Santa has a special gift for the Favre household this year. A Magic 8 ball with only one answer…” but unfortunately, that answer is probably ‘Try again.’
I see that Tim L. is on the cover of SI, welcoming in the New Year. It was front page news around here (Seattle) recently, when Tim bought a condo in a downtown hi-rise for $1.5 million. He’s on the 28th floor, I think, which spurred some other thoughts on how he used to get that high for a whole lot less. (I hope his panoramic view is to the west, the waterfront and Olympic Mtns., and not to the south – Safeco Field – as that would surely deflate the value of his investment.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to your and yours, and everyone who enjoys your humor throughout the year.

just went for Chinese Dim Sum lunch. When they brought out the chicken feet, i wondered how Rex Ryan would’ve handled the situation.
*Feetnote – Have a great holiday and/or a Merry Xmas everyone!!!!!
