Dear Santa

I have been a good boy this year, I have cheered for the new AAA affiliate of the Washington Nationals, I have still supported the Columbus Blue Jackets even as Hitch's system as Nash is slumping. I have had the pain of watching my Buckeyes lose a national title not once, but twice to the Florida Gators. Please reward my loyalty to Ohio sports with the following in 2008...

A real top line center to play between Rick Nash and Nikolai Zherdev. I know the market is tough, and not many teams are in 'trade away talent' mode. However for us to know what it is like to have a winning team in Columbus, we need a top line center Santa.

Jon Diebler to get his jump shot back. What happened to him being able to hit threes from 30 feet out? He looks like Shaq on the free throw line.

A sidekick for LeBron James. He has shown he can win playoff games by himself, but eventually it might help if he has someone so he doesn't have to it completely on his own.

The Cincinnati Reds have a chance on or after opening day. What would help that, bullpen, starting pitching, an outfield, and an infield. Do that, and we might have that chance.

The Cincinnati Bengals not to play below the level of their talent. Are they really at six win team?

And finally... Not another heartbreak in a National Title game. Santa, you have a chance to make up what happened nearly a year ago with giving the Buckeye a win on Jan. 7 in the Bayou.

Merry Christmas
