SportsFilter: The Saturday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Hoisting a virtual glass to all those here.
Now off to form a holiday wall with Sal Alosi.

Merry Christmas everyone, as well, for those of that persuasion. Here's me sidling up to the bar and buying fellow SpoFites a round on me, as my wife and I welcomed our third child (and third boy) into this world yesterday.

Look out, Holden, they've got you outnumbered 3-2 now. I'm sure you can handle it. What a great Christmas gift for you and your wife, but I'll bet Santa didn't gift wrap the lad. Congratulations!

Happy Christmas, all. Cheers to all, and especially to holden. Many happy returns.

Thanks all. The little fella came 4 days early and on Christmas Eve of all days, probably to get a head start on tweaking/spiting his older brothers, who basically had to defer Christmas for a day. And, yes, Howard, we are outnumbered, moving from the proverbial man-to-man to zone.

Congrats Holden. Hope you enjoy the headaches. (I have 3 boys myself.)

Congrats, Holden. I just celebrated the best xmas ever thanks to this li'l gal of mine. She's ninth months old now.

Congrats holden. As a fellow Christmas Eve babe, tell the fella to always ask for big gifts at Christmas saying, "It can be for my birthday and Christmas." That tends to get you the big gift and people feel so guilty about your birthday getting overlooked, they still get you other stuff.

yerfatma -- Happy (belated) birthday. Considering my third has his work cut out for him, I will definitely encourage him to milk this for all it's worth. Problem is, my first has a Dec. 27 birthday, and he has been playing that card for as long as he has had logic skills, so there is some competition there. Drood -- thanks for welcoming me to the club. Should be a fun 20+ years ahead of us. And NoMich, what a cutie. Watch out for team holden, should my Chicago lads make it down to NC. I can already tell you that they are trouble with a capital T.
