Then, we are reading our 2023 letter to Santa Claus where we are asking for some help to fix some of the biggest problems in sports. From the college football transfer portal, to our pet peeve about the NFL Red Zone, to the NBA in season tournament, we are asking Santa for a number of improvements!
