Athletes Aren’t Only Ones Who Work on Christmas

Can you hear the violins? They’re playing for those poor souls who had to play a game on Christmas Day.

Imagine having to work 82 days a year for peanuts and then work Christmas Day? My heart bleeds Great Western Forum Blue for them.

I think that we should all get 2 days off at Christmas, so that we may all spend some time with our families. Magic Johnson could have some of his mom’s sweet potato pie. But no. The airports would be closed. Remember, everybody gets 2 days off!

Well, he could call her.

Wrong, a big storm knocked down long-distance telephone service to Michigan. Good thing we all get 2 days off.

Hey guys, I know that life in the NBA must be tough, but somebody has to do it.
