Second time around! Twice is nice! Double your pleasure! Back to back and belly to belly! Congratulations to The Binder Boyz, Nick and Bobby, on making Rowdy Friends history by winning the championship two seasons in a row!

December 23, 2012

Twas the Night Before Christmas and all through the league
Things were real tight, almost a five team dead heat
The rosters were hung by the chimney with care
And nowhere was a Bear to be found anywhere

On his way to celebrate the season of yule
The Commish pulled the car into his sons' school
When out on the schoolyard there arose such a ruckus
Speaking of Bears, man that's got to be Butkus

But when he peered out the windshield what did he see?
Why a sleigh full of presents driven by Eddie
THE Eddie Scozzare? No It's Eddie K!
K as in Koval, and he's driving the sleigh

Season's Greetings Commish, Santa Ed said
Yeah I realize I'm Jewish but I look good in red
It's me here, you there, on a Christmas Eve schmooze
Let's get the league gathered there's presents to choose

We were going to text but used Facetime instead
Since there was a video camera on top of Ed's sled
Slowly but surely everyone showed
And with help from Elf Julio, gifts were bestowed

Remember we do this with standings upside down
So if your name is called first please try not to frown
It's an honor to receive the first gift of Christmas
Tho it means you're on atop of the League's naughty list

Innocent Neil is first, please step to the fore
Last place is somewhere you haven't been much before
To get off The Schneid a new team name would fulfill thee
The Ghost of Seasons Past suggests it start with "You're Guilty"

When this next team hits you you're supposed to say ouch
But with double digit losses they've been quite the slouch
For Charlie and Joe, this years pretenders
Some real running backs you could have been contenders

A quick check of the weather, does not look opposing
It's Clear and it's Sonny so it must be Boghosian
For Bri the Tie Guy, good things come in twos
A Cobalt Blue Vibe and a pair of Lind shoes

Now the Fab-ulous one, our favorite italian
For half a season your team smelled like a scallion
Your offense Departed, but there's no place for blaming
To get your squad's mojo back here's some Jack and some Damon

Like a kid who can't hold it, Santa Ed started to shake
In the middle of presents, time to take a Pead break
First half was Golden, second half Tainted
Rob here's a coupon to have the season repainted

I've been through the season on a team with no name
But for Team Bruce and Alex, things remain the same
Here's a great holiday gift sure to come in handy
A megawatt generator to ride out the next Sandy

Don't Touchdown There, I've got your gift "right here"!
Owners once known as Tom Glass and Brian Legere
Shall henceforth go forward each a new custom jer-z
Raider one reads B-L-2 Skins says T-G-3

Next on the list is The Commish and Kelly
Why isn't Kevin Santa he's sure got the belly!
The Quick Picks drafted Vick but have lived by their kickers
To get through nervous games here's a basket of liquor

Flinns bros, Jim DeMarco and Michael DePolo
You only live once, or as the kids say now YOLO
What have we for you in our great sack of tricks
Another season of D3 with your rivals the Bamricks

Speak of the devils, Pam, Nick and the Kennys
For your team gift we've got ideas a-plenty
A name change is in order, that's quite apparent
Let's call you next season, Bamrick Boyz and Da Parents

When we first met Russ he was a bartender
Now at the moment he's a title contender
Fighting for first he's not the Best One yet
So we gift you the worst draft pick you could possibly get

Can they go back-to-back the defending champs?
Nick light the candles, Bobby turn on the lamps
But we've got the best gift, regardless of placement
For Double Espresso some AC for their basement

For Me and My Calvin, team owner Don
Who also goes by the nickname Legatron
Santa Ed hopes you lose, but if you won't stay down
Here's the 2012 Commish.com Triple Crown

But to keep that streak going you won't be so lucky
You can't win the next league if they don't start playing hockey
So we'll give you a pass, assuming in football you don't fall
And try your Andrew Luck one more time on the sport of baseball

For the team named for Simon, Paul not the chipmunk
A wish that Cam Newton's first half hadn't stunk
If your first round pick hadn't made things so hard
You and Julio'd be celebrating down by the schoolyard

As it is you still need to win two more games
To achieve ever-lasting immortal Rowdy Friends fame
So as The Commish I stand in for this present
And wish you best of luck in your recent ascent

For you Santa Ed, an old radio whiz
Your own W-F-A-N football show gig
To talk to the Jets fans and see if they know
Who it will be next season, if not Sanchez or Tebow

It been quite the pleasure, Santa Ed proclaimed
Gotta pack up lest we're late for Ken's son's soccer game
Got the sleigh in order, the reindeer the same
Those aren't reindeer, they're RBs and he called them by name

On Marshawn, Rice, Spiller, On Ahmad Bradshaw
Both Bushes, The Law Firm and Onward Frank Gore
To the top of the school then on home without fail
It's too late Chuck and Joe the reindeer ain't for sale

And I heard him exclaim and he rode into the din
Merry Christmas my Rowdy Friends, no matter who wins

In the annual Thanksgiving Week "let's jinx the leader" tradition, I present to you this season's first Sports Illustrated Cover. We've got a tie for first at the moment, Don gets the nod on points so he gets the feature but the Da Boyz logo makes an appearance too, jealous about something other than being tied for first place it seems! Happy Bird Day to everyone!
