Sporting Items to Return

December 26, 2011

It’s that wonderful day after Christmas when all the stores are filled with unhappy gift recipients who want a different color, size, refund or gift card – that usually takes the upside down smile away…

But what if we could have one day a year when we could return some professional sports results Wouldn’t that brighten your off-season demeanor? What if there were no lock out in the NBA? No LeBron, wait that’s a fantasy….lol…

NFL
Let’s see, I’m not sure everyone was happy with a Green Bay Super Bowl win last year so what if we exchanged that for, maybe…the Dolphins (my personal fave) or any other team of your choice. I’m sure the Vikings fan would love to return the “Gift that Wasn’t” in Brett Favre short tenure and this year’s season from hell in Minnesota. And Jet fans have probably been in line to exchange this season since mid-October. Oakland fans are lamenting injuries and what could have been and Denver fans are split on returning their Tebow. And I’m sure the Colts and Browns could return the season for a better fitting record.

MLB
Steroids or performance enhancing drugs are still “all the rage” as Brewers fans can attest as the season ended with an MVP tainted by the “alleged” drugs. I’m sure they’d “return” that award for a few more playoff wins. Dodger blue fans would exchange their nightmare season in a heartbeat. The McCourt McDisaster has thankfully come to an end in La La Land. Yankee fans would like to exchange a few disastrous superstars – ala ARod – for a few more hits against the Tigers in late October. Anybody want to exchange Pujols?…..lol..

NBA
Are they happy in Miami with a second place finish and a trio of greedy, crybaby superstars? I don’t think so, there were so many LeBron returns after the playoff debacle that he should add a bar code to his tattoo assortment. Dallas fans are happy for their championship and that the new season has finally begun so they can gloat over their trophy. I’m not sure the rest of the NBA fan base stayed tuned after the Lakers were dumped so a full-scale season exchange might be nice. There was a big run on returning the Big Aristotle in Beantown and his retirement was lamented by every team he joined after the Heat. Are Laker fans working to get a return or exchange from the team after Phil left? Who wanted Mike Brown out there? Are pre-season exchanges allowed for the 2011-2012 season?…lol…

NHL
Who cares….exchange the whole league for an ugly Christmas sweater…

I hail from the land of Faulkner, Grisham and Elvis and love to write about all things, especially sports. Sports writing has been in my blood since 1980 when as a high school junior, I sprained my knee on the basketball court. The local weekly paper needed someone to write up post and preview action of my high school and I jumped at the $5.00 a week opportunity. Full disclosure allows me to tell you I’m an Ole Miss Rebel, Miami Dolphin, Boston Celtic and Indianola Academy Colonel fan but my job makes me write from the facts and not so much the heart most of the time. Now With more than 30 years of professional writing experience, I have worked in automotive, advertising, marketing, public relations, creative and technical, as well as news/sports/entertainment and column writing from Mississippi to California to Michigan and parts unknown in between. In Michigan since 1993, I work with several newspapers, advertising agencies and national and local magazines through my freelance company, Prime Time Penguin Unlimited LLC.
