This is my last blog for the year.  I will be returning on January 2.  My family and I wish all of you a very Happy New Year!

The Miami Heat put their six-game winning streak on the line tonight in Detroit, where they take on the Pistons.  They will be playing without Dwayne Wade tonight, who will serve a one-game suspension (without pay) after flailing his leg and inadvertently kicking Charlotte Bobcat guard Ramon Sessions in the groin.  On Twitter yesterday, Wade said: "I'm far from being a dirty player, (plus) my intent was never 2 kick Ramon Sessions. I just reacted to the contact that I got from him."  "More than anything, I think of my boys watchin me be4 retaliating 2ward any player." Game  time tonight is 7:30 pm, and you can watch the game on SunSports.  Wade and his teammates will be back in action tomorrow, in Milwaukee, against the Bucks. They will then be in Orlando for the 31st against the Magic, before returning home for a game on the 2nd of January against the Dallas Mavericks.   

Two games in the NBA yesterday,

Oklahoma City 111 Dallas 105  (OT)
Russell Westbrook scored eight points in the closing stages of overtime, including the go-ahead basket with just over a minute left.

LA Clippers 106 Boston 77
The Clippers led wire to wire to capture their 15th consecutive win.  Do the Lakers still play in LA?

TONIGHT IN THE NBA:  

Orlando @ Washington 7:00 pm
Phoenix @ Indiana 7:00 pm
Charlotte @ Brooklyn 7:30 pm
Atlanta @ Cleveland 7:30 pm
Toronto @ New Orleans 8:00 pm
Denver @ Dallas 8:30 pm
Houston @ San Antonio 8:30 pm
LA Clippers @ Utah 9:00 pm
New York @ Sacramento 10:00 pm
Portland @ LA Lakers  10:30 pm
Philadelphia @ Golden State 10:30 pm

TODAY’S TRIVIA QUESTION:  The incredible Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to 15 games last night after beating the green out of the Boston Celtics, 106-77.  Can you name the last team to achieve a winning streak of 15 games in the NBA? Tell you later, alligator.

Nothing new to report from the FIU Campus in Westchester regarding their head coach situation.  As I reported here last week, I confirmed through a couple of sources that that Butch Davis will be named the new head coach at FIU, with the official announcement coming after New Year’s Day.  Although that story has been denied, even by people who haven’t been asked, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.   

As I told you before, there was no conceivable way that FIU Athletic Director Pete Garcia was going to fire Mario Cristobal and not have a proven and experienced head coach in place to replace him.  I have a lot of respect for both Mario and Butch, and wish them both the best.  Hopefully it is a win-win situation for both of them and that all’s well that ends well.

Regardless of that, I still believe that Coach Cristobal’s firing was definitely not the correct decision nor was it the right thing to do.  
  
The Miami Dolphins are playing for nothing but pride this Sunday, when they take on the AFC East champion New England Patriots.  Game time has been changed to 4:25 pm, and you can watch it locally on CBS, Channel 4.  Reggie Bush needs 40 yards to become the third Dolphin to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons and continues to make his case to return to the Fins next season.  Bush repeated yesterday what he has been saying all along.  “I would definitely love to be back.”  For one, I don’t want to bounce from team to team, I want to have a home base. I really enjoy the fan base here, the city of Miami, and there’s also a great tradition here of winning, of excellence. Think back to the ’72 Dolphins, the great players, Larry Csonka, Dan Marino, stuff like that.”   “It’s just good company, and something we can build off.  When asked I talked about wanting to bring back the passion to the city and building a winning franchise.”  

The regular season ends this Sunday.  Here’s the complete schedule in the NFL:

If the playoffs started this week:

Houston and Denver would enjoy a bye week

NFC:

Minnesota @ San Francisco

Bye week for Atlanta and Green Bay

Here’s the playoff picture as of this minute:  (* clinched)

Atlanta 13-2  NFC South  *
Green Bay  11-4 NFC North  *
San Francisco 10-4-1 NFC West
Washington   9-6 NFC East
Seattle 10-5 Wild Card 1
Minnesota   9-6 Wild Card 2

In the hunt: 

Chicago (9-6), Dallas (8-7), NY Giants (8-7)

Dallas will win the NFC East if they beat Washington Sunday night.

Washington wins the NFC East if they beat or tie Dallas.

New York advances as a wild card only if they beat Philadelphia and if Dallas loses and Minnesota and Chicago also loses.

Chicago makes the playoffs if they beat Detroit and if Minnesota loses to Green Bay.

The playoff scenario in the AFC is a done deal:

AFC
Houston 12-3 AFC South *
Denver 12-3 AFC West *
New England 11-4 AFC East *
Baltimore 10-5 AFC North *
Indianapolis 10-5 Wild Card 1 *
Cincinnati     9-6 Wild Card 2 *

Today’s article of the day comes from ESPN’s Jim Bowden.  The former General Manager of the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Nationals talks about five best trades (in his not-so-humble opinion) that are yet to be made:  www.insider.espn.go.com/blog/the-gms-office/post?id=5662

Dear Santa Claus  Tooth Fairy  Cupid  Easter Bunny  Jeffrey Loria and minions:  

You still haven’t sold the team?  Christmas came and went! What are you waiting for, the New Year? Valentine’s day? Easter? 

Your inept management allowed the Marlins farm system to deteriorate to the point of being horrible, and now have dismantled the major league roster while pissing off the players on the roster and the entire South Florida community.  You allow your management to continue the policy of “sell low and buy high”.  Please sell the team so we can once again enjoy baseball in Miami.

You will soon have the window of opportunity you need to get out of town.  The five-year anniversary of the Marlins and Miami-Dade County agreement for the baseball stadium is coming up on February 21, 2013.  After that time, the “penalty” for selling the team is only 5%, a mere pittance, based on a $250 million value of the team.  You’ve already saved much more than that on the salary dump this season alone.  Who will be next to go?  Stanton?  Nolasco?  Of course, you and your minions have chosen not to field a quality major league roster this coming season.  

We’ll continue to keep our fingers crossed and light a candle in the meantime. 

In college football last night, #24 San Jose State beat Bowling Green in the Military Bowl, 29-20.  Cincinnati outlasted Duke 48-34 in the Belk Bowl, and Baylor beat up on #17 UCLA 49-26 in the Holiday Bowl.  

Today, Ohio takes on Louisiana-Monroe in the Independence Bowl at 2:00 pm.  At 5:30 pm, Rutgers plays Virginia Tech in the Russell Athletic Bowl, and at 9:00 pm, Minnesota faces Texas Tech in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas.  Ball State against Central Florida in the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg.  You can watch these games on ESPN.

THE ANSWER TO TODAY’S TRIVIA QUESTION:  The incredible Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to 15 games last night after beating the green out of the Boston Celtics, 106-77.  Can you name the last team to achieve a winning streak of 15 games in the NBA?  The Boston Celtics did it four years ago, and their winning streak in that 2008-2009 season extended to 19 games in a row.

The Miami Heat are on a nice roll, and last night they won their sixth straight contest, defeating the Charlotte Bobcats 105-92.  Miami never trailed in the game, building a 19 point lead.  The Bobcats made it close, cutting the lead down to two points, 84-82 with just over 7 minutes left in the game, before the Heat went on a lightning-quick 11-3 run to put an end to that.  LeBron James had 27 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists.  Dwayne Wade led Miami in scoring with 29 points.  The Heat return to the hardwood tomorrow in Detroit against the Pistons, then on Friday in Milwaukee to face the Bucks.  They will then be in Orlando for the 31st against the Magic, before returning home for a game on the 2nd of January against the Dallas Mavericks.

Today’s article of the day again comes from ESPN’s Jason Stark:  http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8772294/strange-true-feats-2012-mlb-season.  Funny and true stuff.  

In news around the majors, the Boston Red Sox completed a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates.  The Red Sox receive closer Joel Hanrahan and minor league infielder Brock Holt.  Pittsburgh gets releiver Mark Melancon, pitcher Stolmy Pimentel, infielder Ivan de Jesus, and first baseman/outfielder Jerry Sands.  For some reason, the Red Sox have not completed the signing of Mike Napoli and may be turning their attention to another free agent, Adam LaRoche.  

Meanwhile, sources are reporting that the Yankees have reached an agreement with backup outfielder Matt Diaz on a contract. That does not qualify for a move to keep up with Toronto or Boston.  

Dear Santa Claus Jeffrey Loria and minions:  

Why haven’t you sold the team?  What are you waiting for, Christmas?  The New Year?  Your inept management allowed the Marlins farm system to deteriorate to the point of being horrible, and have dismantled the major league roster while pissing off the players on the roster and the entire South Florida community.  You allow your management to continue the policy of “sell low and buy high”.  Sell the team so we can once again enjoy baseball in Miami.

We’ll continue to ask the question every day, keep our fingers crossed and light a candle in the meantime.
