Rock Videos Led to Some Sour Notes

Dear Santa,

For 1987, all I want for Christmas is:

--A receiver who can catch the ball when it is thrown right to him.

--A running back who can hold onto the ball.

--A defense that pressures the opposing quarterback at least once a season.

--A center fielder that actually hustles and can hit for an average equal to his weight.

--A shortstop that realizes the fans really do pay his salary.

--A relief pitcher who can throw something other than a three-run homer.

--A center that is under 60 and can play both offense and defense.

Please, Santa, bring me these things. In return, I promise that I will no longer use four-letter words when describing the Rams, Dodgers and Lakers.
