My sports wishes for the near future
by Anonymous at 8:17 PM
If the Patriots are 15-0 heading into their final game, I hope they don't rest their starters. Every year a team wins the Super Bowl, but in the history of the league, only one team has gone undefeated and that was 35 years ago. And even they didn't go 16-0; they only went 14-0. Going 16-0 is something that no team in history has ever done. It's the right play.
I hope Barry Bonds signs with a team and leads them to the World Series, then declines all post-game interviews afterwards. Then I hope he declines the World Series MVP trophy on live television, walks out of the locker room, and is never seen or heard from again.
I hope A-Rod signs with the Angels for $300 million over 8 seasons, but for the next few years, his team finishes no better than 3rd.
I hope Kenny Williams thinks twice about his "David Eckstein can be my leadoff hitter" idea.
I hope my fantasy team stops its losing streak.
I hope Greg returns from the bio-dome.
I hope the Bulls finally win a game.
I hope Sidney Crosby scores 100 goals this season. I'm not even sure what that means, but I needed a hockey wish.
And finally, I hope that I have an impromptu running race against a handful of my in-laws who are roughly my age and I completely dominate them and leave them in shock at how wicked fast I am. Oh wait, that already happened. Yeah that's right.
