As the calendar year comes quickly to a close, we should all take time to give thanks to all the wonderful things sports gives us. From NFL cheerleaders, all the way down to college cheerleaders, sports and the entertainment it provides keeps us all enthralled seemingly everyday. I know most of the readers here are only a single unannounced visit away by the boss from losing there jobs due to constantly viewing their fantasy matchups, recuriting boards, and favorite web blogs. Only sports could captivate us to such an extreme. So thank you sports for all that you do each and every year. I think former NHL coach and general mangager Jacques Demers summed up sports and its impact the best in his autobiography when he wrote, "fastkgle Kat pooethylsat, ahjtlie85lgh !y haldyurout theioppppp adht lkechti". Happy Holidays everybody!
