Here's some things.....we think....some of our favorite pro athletes should be asking Santa for:
Matthew Stafford........A new shoulder.......and an offensive line to protect said shoulder.
Donovan McNabb........A set of balls......and a team that respects me.
Tim Tebow..... An NFL arm...to go with my legs.
Brett Favre.........A nice ....sunset.....to ride off in.
Michael Vick........A time machine.....to go back...and erase....my "dog years".
Tiger Woods......A PGA win......please? And an affair...with no strings attached.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr........A win.......anyway possible.....preferably......Daytona?
LeBron James........A better group of ...advisers........You guys made me look real bad.
Cam Newton.......A muzzle for .....dear old Dad.
Terrell Owens......Another "me".....I love me ....some .....me.
Payton Manning......More time in a given week....I need more ...stuff...to sell. I'm not in enough.....commercials.
Shaquille O'Neal......More airtime...more media...more.....me, me, me.
And us.....here at 5 on Five? Peace on earth......and goodwill to all mankind.
Feel free ....to add your thoughts.....

It is a ..... postcard perfect spring afternoon in this small southern college town. This ....is more like it. 70 degrees with lots of sun and no humidity.
Some "stuff" we're following:
There is no justice....in life! Warren Sapp was embarrassed and humiliated .....during Super Bowl week....Headlines......all over. Now this:
Warren Sapp Off the Hook in Battery Case
Former NFL superstar Warren Sapp will not face criminal charges for allegedly beating a woman during Super Bowl weekend in Miami this year.The Florida State Attorney's Office just announced that "the State cannot file charges ... due to the totality of the evidence and inconsistencies with the victim testimony and the physical evidence gathered during the investigation."
The woman told authorities that Sapp got violent with her in his hotel room on February 6, 2010 because he wanted her to leave. But according to officials, there were many inconsistencies in the alleged victim's story.
Authorities say the woman told investigators that Sapp beat her so badly that she could "barely walk " and needed help from an "anonymous man" to leave the building -- but video surveillance shows she never received any aid from anyone ... and was walking without a limp.
Ultimately, officials decided they could not prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt and "ethically meet our burden."
How about a full page apology? For ruining this man's life!
Doc Gooden Busted for DWI -- with Kid Passenger
Former NY Mets and NY Yankees star pitcher Dwight "Doc" Gooden was arrested in New Jersey yesterday after cops say he got into a car crash while under the influence of drugs -- while there was a kid in his car. According to officials, 45-year-old Gooden was arrested and charged with multiple crimes including:
-- Driving While Under the Influence of Drugs
-- Being under the Influence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance
-- Endangering the Welfare of a Child
-- DWI with a Child Passenger
-- Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident
-- Reckless Driving
-- Failure to Keep Right
-- Failure to Notify Change of Address regarding driver's license
As first reported on Deadspin.com, cops say they first investigated the situation after receiving a 911 call around 8:50 AM yesterday morning.
Gooden was released on his own recognizance.
Dwight has a storied history of substance abuse -- dating back to his playing days in the late '80s.
The Sentinel left a message with members of Tebow’s camp, including father Bob Tebow, for a response to the story.
It appears Tebow is not shying away from his values, even in the face of NFL skeptics. Tebow has always been outspoken about his faith, even in his high school days.
But, as Pro Football Talk points out, Tebow faces a whole new set of challenges in the NFL.
Hump Day.......short shots:
Why is the Atlanta media.....trying to run Tech's Paul Hewitt ....out of town?
The health-care bill passed......And the world did not end. My .....my.....
The Uconn womens' basketball team won again, 90-36....Is this fair anymore?
Rumor has it........Tiger Woods wife, Elin, is pregnant. Again.......my.....my...
The NFL.......has changed it's over-time rules. Sort of....stay tuned....
7-63.........That's the record of the woeful New Jersey Nets.... Pitiful.
3-1..........That's the odds Vegas is laying....that Tiger wins the Masters.
75.......degrees......and I'm loving it.
Have a great "Hump Day"!

Tim Tebow.....
He of the University of Florida.....has made quite a name for himself as the quarterback for the national champion Gators.
It was last September, 27.......Florida was upset......at home.....by Ole Miss, 31-30......
In an emotional speech following the game, Tebow held back tears and vowed this would never happen again. And.......it didn't..........The Gators went on to win every other game.......and their second national championship in three years.
A few days ago.......a plaque was placed on a wall outside of the Florida Field field football facility.
People say ........he's corny........to good to be true.....
I'd take on my team......in a Miami minute........
Here's the speech........courtesy of YouTube:

College football.........
Let the games begin! But first, let's pose a view questions.......which we have no answers .....at least not at this time.
Which division 1 coach will lose his job .......first this season? Any what other coaches will be fired?
How many weeks will the Georgia Bulldogs hold down the #1 ranking.
Will any team go undefeated ....this year?
Can former Hawaii coach June Jones rebuild a program at SMU?
How long before those rabid Alabama fans run Nick Saban out of town if the Tide....doesn't turn?
Is little old Wake Forest ready for the big time?
Where the heck is Miami and Florida State? Neither is ranked in the top 25.......
Will Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow of Florida make it 2 in a row?
Is this the year the Irish of Notre Dame grow tired of Charlie Weis and his act?
Will the SEC beat up on each other all season.....and fail to have a team in the BCS Championship?
Will Ohio State make it to the title game ........for the third consecutive year?
Just........a few questions......you guys (and gals) can provide the answers.

Yes, FOX.....and the rest of America -- There will be a game 7. J. D. Drew awakened from a season long hibernation to have the game of his career as the Redsox blew out the Indians 12-2. I'll be the first to a
Sometimes......you just are what you are. Poor South Carolina......poised to take sole possession of the SEC east and land a trip to the championship game in Atlanta.......The unthinkable happens.....They get punked by Vanderbilt. The 'cocks, along with their no. 6 ranking are now just another Carolina team that fades late in the season.
Laughing at Notre Dame has reached the point where it really isn't funny any more. The Irish suffered their second worst home lost .......ever. USC destroyed the Irish -- even in those p
ukey green uniforms.....And the natives are getting restless.South Bend Tribune: "Where's ND's progress?"
Tim Tebow is one tough white boy. Tebow willed the Gators to victory over a Kentucky team that featured Heisman candidate Andre Woodson. It seemed every time Kentucky pulled close -- Tebow would do something spectacular and the Gators were scoring again.LSU may never lose at home.....at night.......ever again. Auburn had the Tigers beat. A magnificent back and forth game saw Auburn taking a seeming winning lead (24-23) with just seconds left. Enter Demetrius Byrd.......Bryd makes a fabulous catch as time runs out to give LSU the come from behind 30-24
victory. By far.......the game of the week end.
In the strange but true category -- Appalachian State.....yes that Appalachian State .....lost ....at home to Georgia Southern, 38-35.
Vandy's win over the Gamecocks was its first win ever in 15 tries against Steve Spurrier and the highest -ranked opponent the Commodores' defeated in 70 years.
