Without any memorabilia or presents at all.Bettman hadn't stopped Christmas from coming, it came! Somehow or other, it came just the same!He was puzzled for hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then Bettman thought of something he hadn't before!"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store.""It's a day off with the players families, and that means a little bit more!"And what happened then Well, in the NHL, they say, that Gary Bettman's brain grew two sizes that day.And the minute his brain got a lot more big, he gave everyone back their stuff and gave up the gig."I'm sorry for everything I've done Merry Christmas to all of ya. I want more revenue, so I'm going to expand back to Canada!". Even if you are not a Cincinnati Bengals fan, this might be a good week to cheer for a Chad Ochocinco touchdown.The man formerly known as Chad Johnson has blessed us with some of the greatest, most entertaining and at times cringe-worthy touchdown celebrations in NFL history. There was his rendition of Riverdance, the time he got down on one knee in front of a cheerleader, and his most recent tribute to Mexico when he donned a poncho and sombrero on the sideline.But now Ochocinco could outdo himself.

Instead of a corny, self-serving, look-at-me dance routine that could land him on "SportsCenter: for the umpteenth time, Ochocinco could hop into the hearts of millions and pay tribute to a fallen teammate at the same time. The tragic and untimely passing of Cincinnati receiver Chris Henry could not have come at a worse time for the Bengals and their fans. It has cast another dark cloud over what has been such an outstanding season for the them. We should be talking about Cedric Benson’s chances at Comeback Player of the Year, Cincy’s stingy defense and the team’s chances of winning the AFC North and getting a first-round playoff bye.Instead we have to discuss how Henry was taken from this world too soon, well before he could atone for all of his off-the-field errors and before he could reach his lofty on-the-field potential.

Just when he was turning his life around and steering clear of trouble, this had to happen.I sometimes lack faith in our government, the man upstairs and Nick Folk, to name a few. But if there is one person I have faith in when it comes to creating magic during touchdown time, it is Ochocinco. There is no doubt that if he is able to reach the end zone on Sunday against San Diego he will put on the most notable touchdown celebration of his career.Maybe Ochocinco dons a Henry jersey in his late teammate’s honor. Let’s hope his next one celebrates Chris Henry’s life.
