Santa is not happy with a few Athletes/Coaches/Organizations because they are Behaving Badly – The Steelers suspended their 3rd string running back, Mendenhall. He will not play in the game Sunday at Dallas. Mendenhall was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. Hmmmm, when people say he did something that was “detrimental to the team”, what does that mean exactly? I need more information here. I mean….did he participate in a pay-to-injure program, or have stick ‘em on his hands, or tape other teams or leak plays to the opposing team? Now, I am curious. Side eye look here. Nonetheless, he is on the Naughty List; Cowboys’ Jay Ratliff and owner Jerry Jones get into an intense argument. Jones apparently walked up to an injured Ratliff and said, “We need you!” An argument pursued afterwards. Ummmm, I can understand an argument with Jerry Jones, if he said pack your bags and get out. However, the man said, “We need you!” I guess it would have been better if he told the $40 million man that the team didn’t need him. Ratliff is definitely getting a stocking full of coal and a pink slip; Manny Pacquiao camp decided to slap and kick a photographer after he lost the match on Saturday. Ummmm, maybe they should have jumped in and helped Pacquiao, because Marquez’s slap to his face knocked Pac out. They are definitely being on Santa’s Naughty List; so the Baltimore Ravens fire their offensive coordinator, but wasn’t it the defense that allowed the Steelers and Redskins to go down the field and score to beat them each time? Hmmmm, I was always told, “offense sells tickets, but defense wins games!” I guess the Ravens didn’t get that memo; someone please give T.O. a job in a hurry. This year he was released by the Seahawks, begged for a job with the Jets (I know he is happy he didn’t get that one now), and now asked the LA Clippers to hire him, because he wants to play basketball. Please, I am begging anyone out there to give this man a job. I can’t take anymore. This is really sad; the Saints are happy this morning because the ex-NFL Commish, Paul Tagliabue reversed the bounty scandal suspension. While this is good news for the team, Tagliabue said the players were still wrong to participate in a pay-to-injure program. Therefore, what he is saying is that you did have a bounty program, but you did not deserve the harsh suspensions. Interesting.
The following people should prepare to receive coal their Christmas stocking this year for Behaving Badly – Cowboys’ Joshua Brent who thought it was a good idea to drive while drunk, then killed his teammate, Jerry Brown. I know you all are saying easy up because this man didn’t mean to kill anyone, but I refuse to let up because this could have been avoided. Driving while drunk is NOT the thing to do. You not only endanger yourself, but innocent people on the road with you. This situation is not only sad but deserves more than a FLAG, because the NFL has set up rides for players when they are too intoxicated to drive. I am more mad than sad. He is a distraction for DEM BOYS, who by the way won yesterday without him; at least 7 NFL players turned in their guns after the Chiefs’ Belcher incident. While, I am happy they did this without being forced to do this, I am more concerned that they possessed guns. Now, if we can just get them to turn in keys to their automobiles, we may be doing something; Pacquiao who in Chris Tucker’s voice was knocked the bleep out! He has fallen and couldn’t get back! Juan Manuel Marquez knocked him out with 1 second left in the 6th round. Ummm, I think I would prefer to see Mayweather fight Marquez than Pacquiao now; speaking of a knock out…..the Steelers’ Roethlisberger returned and was knocked out. He looked confused. Maybe they should have stuck with Batch; Spurs’ Stephen Jackson who decided to tweet OKC’s Serge Ibaka saying that Ibaka was doing too much and the next time he runs up on him, he is going in his mouth. Ummmm, this same person has played for 7 different teams in 13 seasons. You are doing too much and that is why the NBA fined you $25K. Sit down somewhere, anywhere. In your words, you ain’t ‘bout dis game; Vikings’ punter, Chris Kluwe wore a sticky over the Hall of Fame 50th Anniversary patch on his uniform yesterday. The sticky read, “Vote Ray Guy.” He will not get a flag for this because I think he is right. If a the Texas A&M freshman QB, Johnny Manziel can win the Heisman, the punter Ray Guy can be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame; speaking of winning… Broncos beat the Raiders – ummm, who can’t beat the Raiders; Rams beat the Bills – I saw this coming; Vikings stopped the Bears’ growl – A Peterson running was NOT for nothing yesterday; Chargers beat the Steelers – even without the stick ‘em they beat Big Ben and company; Eagles beat the Bucs – every team in the NFC East won yesterday; Redskins beat the Ravens minus Lewis and Suggs – even though R2D2 got hurt (which is just a sprain), they didn’t worry, because their COUSINS came off the bench and got things done for them. I have always said that cousins always have your back; Jets beat the Jaguars – NY win one with Sanchez, but they played the Jaguars; the 49ers beat the Dolphins – I guess the Fins Up fans had a chance since San Fran loss to the Rams last week; Giants beat the Saints – Instead of Who Dat the Saints should start saying Ain’t Dat; Seahawks beat the Cardinals – I can’t believe that Arizona didn’t score and Seattle almost hit 60; Packers beat the Lions – poor Detroit. It always look like they may when one then it is taken away at the last minute; Browns beat the Chiefs – people in Cleveland finally have something to cheer about; Colts beat the Titans – Luck managed a great comeback; Panthers beat the Falcons – Cam, Cam, Cam! I can’t get enough of this SUPERMAN! It was DIRTY how he ran over Atlanta yesterday; Cowboys beat the Bengals – stop hating! A win is a win is a win! America, America, America your team is back!
Santa’s making a list and guess who will not be on there because they are Behaving Badly – everyone who emailed, called, texted me saying NOT to talk badly about Kobe Bryant because he scored over 30,000 points during his career. Well, congrats to you “Attention Seeker” Bryant for – playing since you graduated from high school – it should not have taken you that long to score more than 30,000 points/hogging the ball and never allowing your teammates to take a shot – he shoots every time he touches the ball, when your teammates are wide open/getting others fired or starting feuds when others get more attention and points than you – remember Shaq? So, congrats on your accomplishments. Now, if you could manage to win a game or two those points would mean something; all the people pressing to change the Hornets name to the Pelicans. The buzz about the name change may have affected them more than we know. They loss to a struggling Lakers squad. Stop talking about it until the season ends; the Jets’ Sexy Rexy Ryan for deciding to start Sanchez in this week’s game. NY finally won a game last week, when their 3rd string QB played. Is it me or does he not want to win? That is just crazy; the Seahawks Browner decided that he would drop his appeal to have his 4 game suspension for taking performance enhancing drugs thrown out. Browner, you are being taken off Santa’s list because you knew all along that you were taking drugs and your actions hurt yourself and your team. I wonder if this will affect Seattle’s chances of making the playoffs; the Kansas City Fire Department – while I am a big fan of the police, military and fire department, I am not a fan of the fire department releasing 911 calls of tragic incidents. Now, Belcher’s daughter will be able to hear the tragic call from Belcher’s mom pleading for her mother to live. Why add salt to the wound. This is outrageous and you are definitely getting coal in your stocking this Christmas. Thanks to the NFL for graciously agreeing to financially support the little girl until she finishes college.

Athletes/Teams Behaving Badly and added to Santa’s Naughty List – the entire Miami Heat team. How did the defending world champions let a team that had only won ONE game prior to meet you, get a SECOND win? Wait, I guess the Giants did that on Monday against the Redskins, so I guess it isn’t that unusual, but really. I don’t care who was playing and that Lebron had a triple double, you loss and that is not good for someone who was just named the Sportsman of the Year. Now, I think his team sabotaged him. I have my eye on D Wade and company. Before you Faker Lakers haters start talking, when was the last time you all won a game? It certainly wasn’t last night. Ummm, did I just say that aloud? Ummm, yes; so LA’s Attention Seeker Bryant said that he considers Gasol a brother. Didn’t Cain say Able was his brother too? Hmmm, a trade is brewing people mark my words. The Lakers benched Gasol last night against the Rockets, because of his knees. I heard that he might sit out more than just one, though; the Redskins’ cornerback Cedric Griffin has been suspended for four games because he violated the performance enhancing substances policy. Now, it all comes together. That win on Monday against NY is now tainted. They take one-step forward and then take three backwards. They should check the entire squad; Celtics’ Rondo was suspended for two games, but decided to go on vacation in Mexico. Whose bright idea was this? I am not going to say that he should have been on someone’s couch getting help for anger management. Maybe he should talk with Metta World Peace’s doctor; the buzz around town is that the New Orleans Hornets wants to change their name to the Pelicans. Ummm, I understand that is your state bird, but really? Pelicans? Buzz, buzz, buzz…that ain’t cute.
People on Santa’s Naughty List – the Spurs just can’t get it right…first they were fined $250K for resting their starters during a nationally televised game. Now, pictures have surfaced of their starters, Duncan and Parker holding guns to the head of a person dressed up as controversial referee, Crawford. We have enough gun violence, without these two pretending to threaten someone with play guns. This is NOT cute! If something happens to Crawford, they are the first people that I will suspect. They deserve more than a FLAG and placement on SANTA’s NAUGHTY LIST; the Eagles announce that Foles will be their starting QB for the rest of the season. People are speculating that this means Vick will not be in Philly next year. So what tipped you off….the fact that his concussion has him sideline for the rest of the season (which I don’t know of another player who was sidelined for the rest of the season because of a concussion, but who am I) or the fact that they haven’t won many games this year? I don’t understand why this is news. Ever since he took those pictures with the Milk Bones on the table, things haven’t been right for him; communication between the players and management in the NHL is not going well. We may not have a hockey season this year. I am still mad, because I was hoping to have half a season or something. This is crazy and they both deserve flags and a spot on the naughty list. Enough already; Sports Illustrated selected their Sportsman of the Year. No it’s not Kobe “The Attention Seeker” Bryant, or Eli Manning, or David Beckham. It’s Miami’s Lebron James. This man is like Alicia Keys…On FIRE! Cleveland fans, it has been years. Get over it. This man deserves this award and many more; happy birthday shout put to Stanton Hollingsworth. Too bad your G-AIN’Ts could give you a better present! Speaking of the G-AIN’Ts, R2D2 and company really did a number on you all last night. To all the NY fans, it doesn’t matter if it was 1 or 100 points, you all still loss! The road to another Superbowl doesn’t look good for NY right now. Congrats to the Redskins. Let’s see if their streak continues next week against the Ravens.
I would like to take this opportunity to get a few things off my chest this morning – Ladies, if you are in an abusive (verbal or physical) relationship, I beg you to get out. Not matter what anyone says, IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH! Next, guns do not kill people, it’s people with guns that kill others. No matter your views on gun control, the latest incident with the Chiefs’ Jovan Belcher shooting of his girlfriend and himself is evidence that we need better gun laws and enforcement. Finally, please know that no matter what you are going through, it is not worth you killing yourself. Think about all the people in your life that your choice affects, your children, your parents, your siblings, your friends, etc. On a serious not though, go to God and tell Him all about it. He is the best listener. He will never fail you or tell others what you said; on to people to add to Santa’s Naughty List for Behaving Badly – the Lakers’ Kobe “Attention Seeker” Bryant cussed/cursed his team out after they loss to Howard’s former team, the Magic. Ummmm, he cussed/cursed everyone but Howard that is. He said that Dwight “Superman” Howard should use his bad play as a challenge for him to get better. I guess Superman does have some power; so Mike Tyson said he started to get heart tattoos on his face, but felt that it would have been too crazy. Newsflash, that tattoo on your face now is CRAZY; Baltimore’s Ed Reed sounded off yesterday, not because the Ravens loss to the Steelers, but because he thinks Commish Goodell and the NFL wants to appear concern about players safety, but in reality, that is the last thing on their minds. Hmmmm, I guess he is still made about being suspended 1 game, but he won his appeal. Let it go, but I love that he is speaking out; so Tebow and Sanchez may both be out of a job soon. The 3rd string QB, McElroy came in and won a game for the Jets. Sometimes we overlook the best thing, because we allow others to hype up other NON-FACTORS in our lives; this week’s winners – Dem Boys – did you really think they would lose to the Eagles; Falcons – the Who Dat crew is still mad; Rams – they are the 49ers kryptonite; Packers – Peterson played his heart out, but the rest of the Vikings never showed up; Broncos – they played the Bucs, so I knew this would happen; Steelers – Not sure that the Ravens knew Big Ben was not playing; Bengals – Norv Turner will add to the unemployment rate soon; Colts – even though the Lions gave it a good try, they still came up short, because Luck was on the other team’s side; Texans – I mean they only played the Titans; Chiefs – that was an emotional game for them against the Panthers. Maybe Cam took it easy on them for that reason; Jets – they only score one touchdown and won against the Cardinals. SMH; Browns – who can’t beat the Raiders; Seahawks – they were too much for the Bears; Patriots – the Dolphins shocked New England, but they still came up short; and Dem Boys from Dallas beat Philly, but they have to stop playing only second half ball! I heard that Andy Reid wants to coach in Dallas when he is fired in a few weeks. Everyone wants to be a Cowboy. Many are called, but…..you know the rest!!!
People who will surely get a lump of coal for Christmas, if they do not straighten up – Celtics’ Rondo got mad at the Nets’ Humphries for fouling his teammate Garnett and he started swinging. Needless to say he was ejected from the game and Boston loss. He is a loose cannon and will be the downfall of the Celtics this year. Wait they are already near the bottom of their division, so it will not be that much of a fall; several NFL players have been arrested for using performance enhancing drugs. Apparently they are not as smart as other players. They use another type of drug…VIAGRA. Ummm, before you start cheering and high fiving the next guy, it’s use to enhance their performance on the field not the bedroom. Gone are the days when REAL men played the game; Michael Jordan refuses to follow the rules at a Miami golf course. The exclusive club has a strict dress code, but “Your AIRNESS” Jordan thinks he is above the rules. He has been thrown out for wearing cargo shorts to play a round or two of golf. He was confronted and refused to change. He will not be invited back; Atlanta airport employees decided to egg the Saints chartered bus when they arrived in Georgia. While I understand fans hyping up rivalries, but nothing is worth you being fired. Everyone involved shouldn’t only get a lump of coal in their stockings, but pink slips as well; the NFL decided it would fine the Lions Suh $30K for his kick to the Texans’ QB. First, they said he would not get a fined because they could prove intent. Now all of a sudden, they decide they will not suspend him, but they would fine him. Hmmmm, this makes me think that someone in the NFL needs money for Christmas. Newsflash…Santa knows if you have been naughty or nice and right now, you are on the NAUGHTY list. Don’t be surprised if you receive coal this Christmas!
