High five: Holiday wish list for sports fans
Last-minute gift suggestions:
Fewer NBA timeouts: Enough already. And no more advancing the ball some two-thirds of the court simply by calling a timeout.
A World Series for the Cubs: Their fans have earned it. And then some.
Scaled-back Olympics: Summer, winter, it doesn’t matter. They generally financially strap host countries. Besides, will anyone miss synchronized diving? Ice dancers should learn to figure skate or play hockey.
A safe ballpark experience: Maybe more netting is the answer? Or are people unwisely paying less attention to games than their smartphones?
The NFL comes to its senses: It’s a catch or it’s not. Stop over-thinking this. You’re ruining your game.
