1. Who was your biggest priority on Christmas Day: Bears or Bulls?
Leo Ebersole: The first priority on Christmas Day is figuring out why Mike Tyson’s tiger is in my hotel suite.
Stick Figure: I got a stuffed bear that I love. And I’m not talking about Lovie.
Sarah Spain: The Bulls. They’re like a newborn child, full of hope. The Bears are in hospice.
Elliott Serrano: My new Xbox 360 that Santa brought me cuz I was a good boy this year.
Marc Silverman: You really have to ask? Bulls gave me a Rose. Bears gave me a lump of coal.
2. Who’s the Grinch of sports this year?
Leo Ebersole: David Stern canceled half the NBA season, then bungled the trade of one of its stars. But, c’mon, it’s Penn State.
Stick Figure: The Miami Heat. All of them.
Sarah Spain: Kobe’s wife, Vanessa. That divorce filing means he’s giving her a $180 million Christmas present.
Elliott Serrano: Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan “If I can’t trade for Chris Paul nobody can” Gilbert.
Marc Silverman: Jerry Angelo. I asked for gifts. He gave me Sam Hurd, Roy Williams and Marion Barber.
3. If you could hand out one sports Christmas gift, what would it be?
Leo Ebersole: Tim Tebow Holy Sweat—and to all an awkward night.
Stick Figure: A time machine, so we can go back to January and try to get it right this time. Do-over!
Sarah Spain: I would give the Bulls Dwight Howard, though I’m afraid he won’t fit down the chimney.
Elliott Serrano: A “Get Out of Federal Prison and on a Plane to Mexico Free Card” for Sam Hurd.
Marc Silverman: A championship for the best sports fans in the world. Yes, I’m kissing up to you.
4. What holiday song best describes Chicago sports?
Leo Ebersole: “God Rest Ye Merry Baseball Fans.”
Stick Figure: “Winter Blunderland.”
Sarah Spain: “Jingle Bells, Hanie smells, Barber laid an egg. Hurd sold blow, Bears have no ‘O,’ and the playoffs got away.”
Elliott Serrano: “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
Marc Silverman: Sam Hurd singing “let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”
5. Let¿s have your college bowl season prediction.
Leo Ebersole: Northwestern destroys Texas A&M. Bonus: Aggies alum Rick Perry learns how to count, albeit by sevens. Go Cats!
Stick Figure: If it’s full of pudding, it’ll be over before it gets started. Mmmmmm …
Sarah Spain: I predict I won’t watch any bowl games because college football is more corrupt than Illinois politics.
Elliott Serrano: Nobody will get any free tattoos. Golf trips, on the other hand …
Marc Silverman: I predict I won’t watch. This college bowl thought brought to you by Weed Eater.
