GENERAL VIEWS (14th Edition ) / WEEKEND PREVIEW ( 15th Edition )

Because of prior commitments I am doing the Wednesday General Views 14th Edition blog today. I am also going to combine the Friday Sports Weekend Preview 15th Edition blog in today's blog because of an out of town commitment.

Here we are during the Christmas season and it can be a very busy and stressful time. It is also a fun time of the year of spending time with your family, that is what I am doing this weekend as I am taking a trip to Tennessee with my wife. Everyone has a Christmas list to send to Santa, so I would like to look at some of the things that some sports teams and sports personalities might want to include on their wish list to Santa. Here it goes.

TIGER WOODS might need to ask for a new GPS Navigation System so he can find out how to get out of his driveway without having an accident.

CLEMSON HEAD COACH DABO SWINNEY needs to ask Santa for a Human cloning machine so he can clone C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford.

CLEMSON DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR KEVIN STEELE needs to ask for the book How To Stop The Run For Dummies.

CAROLINA PANTHERS HEAD COACH JOHN FOX needs to ask Santa to bring him a Quarterback. One that don't turn the ball over all the time.

CAROLINA PANTHERS QB JAKE DELHOMME needs to ask for a pair of glasses so he can see who he is throwing the ball to.

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FANS need to ask for a journal so they can keep record of their victory over Clemson to remember it, since it happens so rarely.

GAFFNEY INDIANS HEAD COACH PHIL STRICKLAND needs to ask for a big time running back to compliment QB DeEdward Burris on offense.

THE BYRNES REBELS need to ask for a DVD copy of last years State Championship win to watch and enjoy, since they don't have a State Championship to enjoy this year.

THE DORMAN CAVALIERS need to ask Santa to bring them a patent on the defensive game plan they used against the Byrnes Rebels.

ALLEN IVERSON needs to ask for a NBA team that actually wants him to play for them.

WILLY KORN needs to ask for a college football team that is so desperate for a QB that he don't have to try to win the starting job he gets it by default.

C.J SPILLER needs to ask Santa to bring him a Heisman trophy that he so deserves to have.

****THE ARMCHAIR COACH GAME BALL OF THE WEEK goes to the Dorman Cavaliers for their State Championship win over Byrnes***

SPORTS WEEKEND PREVIEW (15th Edition )

COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK

Army vs Navy..... This game has been dominated by Navy in recent years and it should be dominated by Navy again this year..... Navy 34 Army 14

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

Green Bay @ Chicago..... This is one of the longest and most storied rivalries in the NFL. The Packers seam to be on a pretty good roll of late. They need this game if they are going to have any chance to stay in the Division race with Minnesota. I believe they will find away to get the win..... Green Bay 27 Chicago 21

OTHER NFL GAMES

Pittsburg @ Cleveland..... This has been another heated rivalry over the years. The Super Bowl Champions need this win in the worse way. They get it..... Pittsburg 20 Cleveland 10

Carolina @ New England..... The Patriots should bounce back in a big way this week against the Panthers and their lackluster offense..... New England 31 Carolina 17

Miami @ Jacksonville..... This battle of Florida should be a very good game. The Dolphins are coming off a big win over New England. I believe the Dolphins can find away to get it done..... Miami 23 Jacksonville 20

Detroit @ Baltimore..... If the Ravens have any chance for the playoffs they have to win this game against the lowly Lions..... Baltimore 24 Detroit 10

New Orleans @ Atlanta..... The Saints are not playing as well as they were earlier in the season. They are playing better than the Falcons..... New Orleans 34 Atlanta 20

Cincinnatti @ Minnesota..... This battle of Division leaders should be a war. I believe Brett Favre to Sidney Rice will out duel Carson Palmer to Chad Ochocinco..... Minnesota 28 Cincinnatti 24

San Diego @ Dallas..... This battle of Division leaders will be another war. Dallas gets the nod from me being at home..... Dallas 24 San Diego 22

THE SOUTH CAROLINA NORTH VS SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL ALLSTAR GAME is this Saturday at Myrtle Beach.

Until Monday.
