A CHRISTMAS WISH

what we hope for in santas bag

An All Pro slot for James Jones, Casey Hayward, and B. J. Raji. Aaron Rodgers, Tim Masthay and Clay Matthews are mortal locks for the nod.

A dose of cure for the still ailing among the Packers. Jordy Nelson, Charles Woodson, James Starks, Tom Crabtree, Erik Walden and anyone else whose injuries still linger could use a few doses right about now.

Some relief for the offensive line. At times they have been above average but at other times poor Aaron Rodgers is getting hit way too hard way too often.

Continued good play from the new surprise players. RB DuJuan Harris and RT Don Barclay have both been very pleasant surprises this year not only filling in but playing very well on top of it.

Enough cap space to be able to resign Greg Jennings and then B.J. Raji and then Clay Matthews and then Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, we know it’s a tall order but geez Louise Santa – you’re the Big Man. Help us out here, will you? Please??

Oh, I almost forgot!! In addition to a cure for the injured how about NO MORE INJURIES!! Enough is enough already!!

A Coach of the Year award would be a great idea for Mike McCarthy. No question he has been exceptionally good – and he deserves it.

A GPS for Mason Crosby, one that hones in on the area between the uprights.

And we’d like a little bit of respect and a lot of recognition for Ted Thompson for his ability to continue to find great draft picks and street free agents who play well.

A playoff bye. That could also fall under the cure for the injuries category. And it would be nice. Really nice.

A nice little 6 game win streak would be very nice starting now. If not, then at least a 4 game streak. AFTER the regular season. Yes, Santa… that includes the Super Bowl.

Snow in Lambeau Field when Chris Johnson and the Titans come to town. Not only is it more fun to watch, let’s see CJ2K try to get traction on that.

A really big sock to stuff in Deion Sanders mouth over at NFL Network. He is almost as abrasively annoying off the field as he was on the field.

A bigger sock for Michael Irvin’s mouth. His garbled, yelling gibberish is almost undecipherable at times. Apparently he and Neon Deion were never told in Journalism 101 that yapping, chatting and NOT SHUTTING UP while someone else is talking or trying to make a point was their show sound like a bunch of drunken fools playing “Oh, YEAH?? Sez YOU!!!” in a South Philly gin joint.

While on the topic of broadcasters a little more respect for Cris Collinsworth. The guy flat out knows what he is talking about.

This may sound petty but a huge lump of coal in Lance Easley’s stocking. Yeah, THAT Lance Easley, the incompetent moron who made THE Call, the Fail Mary in Seattle.

And how about delivering the Seahawks to Green Bay for a rematch. In January. At Lambeau. In the snow. With REAL refs. Let’s hear PeeWee Carroll and Golden Fried Taters yap about how they beat the Packers then.

This may sound petty but a continued losing streak for Da Bears. How the hell does a team NOT make the playoffs after opening the season 7 – 1? Oh, wait… they had to play good teams in the second half. ‘Nuff said.

Give Peyton Manning Comeback Player of the Year. He deserves it.

Give the MVP to Aaron Rodgers again. He deserves it. Is there any player anywhere more valuable to his team or better at Rodgers? Naaah, we didn’t think so either.

Give a lump of coal to the Bears. Just because they’re the Bears.

Give a new Blue Ray player to Jay Cutler. Yes, THAT Jay Cutler.

And give a new Blue Ray DVD of the Packers/ Bears games of 2012 to Brandon Marshmallow. Then he and Cutler could get together and discuss next year’s strategy.

And so they don’t go hungry bring Jay and Mr. Marshmallow a couple of huge slices of humble pie. They might choke on it as they watch the Packers/ Bears replays but we are not concerned. The Bears choke a lot against the Packers.

And give a nice long contract extension to Lovie Smith. That gives him job security and the Packers game security.

Another great draft. With noted few exceptions TT has knocked the ball out of them park in his past few drafts, Justin Harrell notwithstanding. Really, who ever heard of Casey Hayward BEFORE the draft? And Ted traded back UP to get him? Color us impressed.

More shaky passing for the 49ers. Alex Smith and Colin Alphabetsoup have been streaky. Keep that streak on the low side for the next 6 weeks, because that defense in San Francisco is truly scary.

A nice, warm place for Andy Reid to land after the fallout of the Philly Phailure. Andy is a good guy, a good coach, and deserves better than that hell hole of a dump of a city called Philadelphia has given him.

And some long lasting humility for Captain Horatio ‘Rex’ Blowhard in New York. If the debacle of Tebow and the flameout of Sanchez and his overblown opinion of his underwhelming team isn’t enough to close his pie hole nothing will. The Jets are so bad even Revis wouldn’t help.

A playoff spot for RG3, leaving the Giants and Cowboys outside the bakery with their snotty little noses pressed up against the glass. Yes… we are vindictive. Yes… we remember last year. The Cowboys? We are not alone. No one likes the Cowboys. Except Jerry Jones. And no one likes Jones.

A trade for Viking MLB E.J. Henderson. Oh, we don’t need him as a player. But how cool would it be to have a roster of guy’s whose names are A.J, B.J., C.J., D.J. (2 of them!), E.J. G.J. and J.J.? Messrs.’ Hawk, Raji, Wilson, Smith, Williams, Jennings and Jones could take him out to the abbreviation annual dinner and golf outing.

This may sound petty but don’t bother giving any gifts to the Seahawks. They already got theirs, courtesy of Lance Easley.

This may sound petty but if you get stuck looking for a bathroom on your trip Santa – use Lance Easley’s stocking.

A lump of coal for everyone connected to the Saints Bountygate scandal. Include Roger Goodell in along with the coaches who sanctioned it and the players that did it. The military has a term perfect for how this whole scenario played out – FUBAR. We ain’t saying. If ya don’t know, ask any veteran or active service member. They see it all say, every day.

While on the topic a THANK YOU from a grateful nation to every man and woman who has served and is currently serving in the Armed Forces. Our heroes do not just play on Sunday. The real heroes stand at the ready so we can enjoy our games on Sunday.

And something really nice for those service personnel that must spend the holidays apart from their loved ones. The price of freedom is steep.

And one last thing Santa – we wish for all people everywhere a safe and happy holiday season. We wish warmth for those that are cold, compassion for those that are struggling, food for those that are hungry, fellowship for those that are lonely, peace for those in turmoil and comfort for those that need it most.

 

We wish everyone everywhere a Happy Holiday Season!

As for this week the Pack keeps the foot on the gas as they go for a first round bye. Too much for Tennessee to keep up with and Green Bay pulls away. With a blizzard in Green Bay CJ2K will find the road much too slick to do much.  Crosby will get his chances. He needs to deliver, especially now.
