Sunday Sports Wrap - December 28, 2008

NFL: Week 17! Oh my gosh! Where has the season gone? I cannot believe that I am sitting here watching the end of the NFL season as I am typing this. I've got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Oakland Raiders game on and can't help but think about that Super Bowl where these two pirates met. What different teams we have today! I keep begging someone to take the Raiders away from Al Davis before he hurts anyone else. Now, I'm starting to believe that it is time for a complete coaching change in Tampa. Yes. I said it. I never thought I would believe it. Maybe it is time for Gruden to go. They can still make the playoffs this year...

NBA: Golden State comes to visit the 24-5 Los Angeles Lakers. Yes, the team is afire and doing fabulous. I will refrain from any predictions for the post season whatsoever since we are entirely too early for that. Much can happen in the months to come.

Snow: Yes, there is plenty of it in the California mountains today so why not get out and get on a board? The conditions are very nice.
