It’s Christmas time but that doesn’t mean I am taking the day off. If you take a gander at Sadie West as one of Santa’s little helpers you’ll know why I stayed up late hoping to get a glimpse of the fat man tonight. Instead of some milk and cookies, being the true tailgater that I am, I left out some smoked brisket and beer for Jolly Old Saint Nick. I am sure he’ll appreciate the variety by the time he hits my house. Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy Sadie West and the links…
