THE DAILY presents our traditional sports business year in review set to a holiday carol. Please sing along to the tune of "Sleigh Ride."
Just hear our year-end recap
Of all the sports business news.
It's been a wild one,
And next year may well be one, too.
There were two pro-league lockouts
That dominated the news,
A slew of college scandals
And realignment issues.

Networks follow suit.
Bracket-busters on cable, it's Tru.

Mavs win for Cuban.

With stars Jonah and Brad.

Caused such a controversy.

Shaking up the series.
Larry Scott making splashes;
His Pac-12 is on the rise.

But not quite disclosing its size.
There's a football venue planned
With a sponsor in L.A.
But will Minnesota have
A brand new dome someday?
Ebersol's farewell to NBC
Amid restructuring.
Super Bowl ads full of stars
Who love to sing; Sing! Sing! Sing!
How 'bout that Cowboys Stadium

Shifts at the top for CBS Sports,
ESPN, too.
Tom Gores acquires the Pistons.
Peacock Olympics renewed.
Chuck Greenburg leaves the Rangers.
Dodgers chaos continues.

So it's, "Go, Jets, Go!"

And don't forget Tebow.
So what do we look forward to
In the year that's to come?

Will F1 in Austin get done?
How will the NBA and
Commissioner Stern handle trades?
And how will Pujols fare as
An Angel out in L.A.?
No matter what, we'll be there
To bring you coverage each day.
