Who: See Below

What: As the holiday’s approach we thought we’d send Mr. Claus a wish list for the Minnesota sports press.  Soon a handful of them will be awarded with a “Soda” award, but we asked Kris Cringle to consider giving others what we have requested below:

Don Shelby – Humility

Paul Allen – A dictionary to learn the real definition of the word “elite”

Sid Hartman – A new idiom for “mystery team”

Jeff Dubay – A smile to use during his hockey telecasts

Mike Max – Some handy-wipes to clean off his brown nose

Charley Walters – A pet bird that speaks the truth

Greg Coleman – A list of intelligent post game questions

Patrick Reusse – A voiceover job as “The Penguin” in the next Batman movie

Dan Cole – A Marconi award

Dan Barreiro – Thicker skin for when chided by homersota.com

Rod Simons – A starring role in the next Munsters movie

Joe Sensor – A transparent vertical-bar facemask to provide Troy Williamson

Dave Mona – Lifetime ticket pass to the Insight Bowl

Chad Hartman – A new expression for “on a regular basis”

Mark Rosen – Courage to take a stand

Dave Lee – A clue

“Doogie” Wolfson – A lower voice for his T.V. appearances

Bert Blyleven – A new expression for “at the major league level”

Dark Star – A Twins radio deal that isn’t a “dirty deed”

Bottom Line:  P.S.  Santa, we acknowledge the courage request for Rosen may be asking too much.
