Happy New Year!

2007 HAD IT’S SHARE OF THE GOOD…THE BAD AND THE UGLY…
IN HOCKEY…THE GOOD STARTED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SYDNEY CROSBY AS THE NEW FACE OF THE NHL…
CROSBY TOOK HOME THE HART…THE ART ROSS AND THE PEARSON…
THE NEIDERMAYER BROTHERS WON A STANLEY CUP TOGETEHER IN ANAHEIM…
TEAM CANADA WON ITS THIRD STRAIGHT WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP…
AND THE VANCOUVER GIANTS WON THE MEMORIAL CUP IN FRONT OF A SOLD OUT PACIFIC COLISEUM…
THE BAD…WAS AN UNBALANCED NHL SCHEDULE THAT STILL DOES NOT ALLOW 10 EASTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS TO PLAY IN VANCOUVER THIS SEASON…THAT INCLUDES THE LEAFS…THE CANADIANS AND THE SENATORS…
THE UGLY…WAS THE INCREASED VIOLENCE IN THE GAME…CONCUSSIONS ARE NOW EPIDEMIC…AND THE NEW POSTER BOY IS CHRIS SIMON…WHO WAS SUSPENDED A TOTAL OF 55 GAMES FOR TWO SEPARATE ATTACKS…
IN BASEBALL…THE GOOD WAS THE PLAY OF THE BOSTON REDS SOX…
THE BAD…WAS THE MITCHEL REPORT…
THE UGLY…WAS BARRY BONDS…WHO’S NOW BEEN CHARGED WITH BOTH PERJURY AND OBSTRUCTION…
IN FOOTBALL…THE GOOD WAS THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS…AND THE SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS…
THE BAD WAS THE MIAMI DOLPHINS…
THE UGLY WAS MICHAEL VICK…
2007 HAD MORE THAN IT’S SHARE OF SCANDALS…
NBA REFEREE TIM DONAGHY WAS CAUGHT GAMBLING ON HIS GAMES…
MARION JONES WAS STRIPPED OF HER OLYMPIC MEDALS…
FLOYD LANDIS WAS STRIPPED OF HIS TOUR DE FRANCE TITLE…
THE NFL HAD A LONG LIST OF SUSPENEDED PLAYERS SUCH AS…PACMAN JONES…TANK JOHNSON AND CHRIS HENRY…
EVEN NEW ENGLAND HEAD COACH BILL BILLICHICK GOT NAILED IN SPY-GATE…
THE ONE THING THAT REMAINED CONSTANT THROUGH IT ALL WAS THIS…
“WE ALL KEPT WATCHING”…
IN 2007 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL RAKED IN $6 BILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE…AN ALL TIME HIGH…
AND IN ATLANTA THERE’S STILL A WAITING LIST FOR SEASONS TICKETS…TO THE FALCONS…
A LOT HAPPENED IN 2007…BUT IN TRUTH…VERY LITTLE CHANGED…
HAPPY NEW YEAR…
