An early Merry Christmas and, in general, a happy holiday season to everyone. I hope that all of you get to spend at least part of your day with your loved ones.

It’s hard to believe that another year is winding down. Once again, your support here has been overwhelming, and I can’t thank you enough for all the support and kind words over the months and years. In an ideal situation, we’d be able to provide even more coverage, and we’ll do our best to make 2009 even better than 2008. Dean Lombardi has agreed to do a long Q&A (as early as next week), so that should be quite interesting.

And thanks to everyone for taking on a more respectful tone in the last couple days. Disagreements are fine, and often fun. A lot of the stuff that’s posted cracks me up. All I ask is that we keep a little perspective on things, when it comes to interacting with each other. That’s fair, right? Thanks again, everyone, and I’ll see ya back on Friday in advance of the game against Phoenix.
