Silver Bells Ring For Another Memorable Sports Business Year

THE DAILY presents our traditional sports business year in review set to a holiday carol. Please sing along to the tune, “Silver Bells.”

DC sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in Nationals style
Lack of ballpark creating a big fuss
NASCAR TV, Danica, Wie
Saints are traveling miles
Anaheim sees the Angels switch gear

Reebok sells, BALCO cells
NBA players dressed so pretty
2012, West Side shelved
Are there enough Marlins to play?

Congress picks fights, baseball waits nights
But in the end is seen
Bud Selig gets all of his measures
NBA bunch, CBA crunch
England’s Glazers big scene
And ManU fans still waiting to cheer

Mascot shells, Myles tells
Indian themes are not witty
NHL in swing, Giants’ legends bring
Sorrow for many a day.

Football TV, worth big money
Monday night changing homes
Mark Shapiro leaves Bristol for Six Flags
Sidney Crosby, saving hockey
After the lockout ends
And the World Baseball Classic draws near

White Sox bells, Lance farewells
Will the Hornets stay in OK City?
Vikings cruise, in the news
Las Vegas hosting NBA
