From all of us here at Juiced Sports Blog, we’d like to wish you a happy and healthy holiday season

So you had the Dolphins winning 10 games this year right?  Ya, me too!

Well, we’re six bowls games in, and JSB is just 3-3, losing all three contests by a combined 9 points!  Boise State, Troy, and Fresno State are all getting coal in their stockings this year.

So the Lions have finished playing their home slate of games for 2008.  But you don’t have to wait too long if you want to see more mediocre football at Ford Field: Central Michigan and Florida Atlantic play there in the Motor City Bowl on Friday.

NBC opted to flex the Broncos-Chargers game to primetime, over Chad Pennington’s return to New York (ahem, New Jersey) with the greatest single season turnaround in NFL history on the line? Look, Miami hasn’t played a lot of great teams this year, and they’re not exactly a star studded squad, but c’om, the Chargers at 7-8!  Since when did the bowl system follow up into the pro ranks?

The Celtics have won 19 in a row, are 27-2, and boast the best two loss record in NBA history. But who cares about that!  Is LeBron James leaving Cleveland or not?  C’mon LeBron we know you know.

Coming in 2010: NBA Free Agency, the True story of fake rumors.  Producer: Jerry Bruckheimer.  Starring: Will Ferrel and Tom Cruise.  Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t worry about the present is rumored to be the movie’s slogan.

Speaking of 2010, who needs to play the 2009 Super Bowl?  Why not just move on to Miami, where the 2010 game will be played.

Wonder what Joe the Plumber is doing for the holidays?  Ya, me neither.

So did you hear the news?  The Coyotes are pretty much broke.  Apparently they don’t make any money on parking at their arena, Jobing.com. In fact, they actually have to pay about $2 million out of their pockets. Sounds like they got jobbed when they agreed to that stupid deal.

Hey it’s that time of the year: the time for giving?  Nah, it’s the time for Brett Favre rumors.  Will he come back, will he retire, or will he continue advertising with Wrangler?  Check back sometime in June.  The Jets seemingly checked out last week.

Capital One Bowl Week: Catch it… go outside and do something with your life.

Got to love Sports Illustrated!  You know what they put on their end of the year cover?  One of the rescued dogs from Bad Newz Kennels. SI really did it this time.  How can you possibly put the SI jinx on anything that’s already been touched by Mike Vick?  Exactly, you can’t!

Anyone find the timing ironic?  Rookie Matt Ryan leads the Falcons to a stunning wildcard berth, and Mike Vick’s dogs still get top billing.  What does a once in a decade rookie QB have to do to get some love around here?

Favorite quote of the week if not the month: “They are on a completely different economic playing field,” Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said today of the New York Yankees. “I paid $220 million for my team; now they get three players for $420 million.”  I guess they shopped the discount rack.

Wes Welker was fined $10,000 for making a snow angel in New England’s trouncing of Arizzzzzzzzzzzzz…ona.  In unrelated news, the NFL cancelled Christmas.

Have a safe, happy, and healthy holidays everybody.
