Getting down to business. If I could give anyone in professional sports a gift this holiday season, it would probably be Sixers head coach Doug Collins. Think about it for a second. This is the same guy who coached Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Horace Grant. During those grueling years constantly being shown the door in the Eastern Conference Finals by the Pistons, Doug couldn’t catch a break! He then had the pleasure of coaching Grant Hill during the beginning of his superstar career without much success. Now he has the misfortune of inheriting a subpar team, with an All-Star seven footer who hasn’t been available at all this season due to injuries. I feel for you Doug. I would like to give you the keys to the Clippers machine and let you finally taste success. Don’t make me regret it.
The next order of business would be me giving the New York Jets a new GM. That way, a total team overhaul would be in order and that fanbase can finally have something to cheer for. New GM (Jerry Jones), Coach (Jon Gruden), new QB (Vince Young), new RB (C.J. Spiller), new tight end (Dennis Pitta), and a new physical, lock down cornerback (Richard Sherman). Merry Christmas New York. Merry Christmas Doug Collins.
