For years, Santa Dave Bradley has kept close eye on the area’s naughty and nice list, handing out the best of the best and the sometimes not-so-great.
However, he’s decided to hang up his big red bag and fill out a recliner given to himself after years on the nice list.
He didn’t give me all the details, like what stores to visit or any previous lists from the past, but I think I’ve got everything figured out for the boys and girls.
This is the moment I’ve trained for.
To Austin Allen, another opportunity to showcase your talent.
To Baylor Scheierman, a repeat appearance in March Madness.
To Wade Ohlson, a lifetime of donuts.
To Carlos Collazo, my own hamstring. I don’t need it anymore.
To Drew Knust, a hole in one this spring.
To Tiger Woods, my whole leg and at least one more major.
To Hampton’s football team, at least one victory in the playoffs next fall.
To Evan Pankoke, all the pancakes you can eat.
To Corey Hoelck, USFL lineman of the year.
To Matt Rhule, the keys to the most impressive ride in Nebraska and all the Runzas you can eat.

Merry Christmas!
