Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Happy Holidays...P.O.D.


  I just wanted to send a holiday's greeting to all of my fellow Lions fans.  It is great to see alot of new posters here.  Another tough year for our Lions.  But there seems to be a silver lining for this season. 

A Special thanks to Sean for doing an outstanding job here.  Can't be to easy, balancing school, the POD, and hopefully some sort of personal life.  You are doing an awesome job.

I know this year has been difficult, personally for a few here.  As well as myself.  My wife as been very ill in the past month and a half.  She has been in and out of the hospital.  Spending days sometimes weeks at a time.  But thankfully she seemed to turn the corner to a full recovery.  But during the past several weeks.  You can't help to think those thoughts.  The ones you tell yourself not to think.  But you find yourself thinking.." What if..?"  "What will I do now...?"  So it was some comfort for me to remember couple of Fanpost that were posted here.  So a big thanks to Drewslions and KDawg.  In way, it help ease me somewhat.  Knowing that no matter what life brings.  You just gotta keep moving forward. 

On a personal note:  Fellow POD member Roustique has had a doulbe dose of tragedy recently.  So if everyone could keep a special thought for him and his family.  I am sure he would really appreciate it. 

So from my family to yours.  Have a great holiday.  Be safe.  And as always...GO LIONS!

A special shout out to Davis....Where you at?   Is your computer still crashing?

God Bless

Yes, a very good post JC.

I value this forum very highly, and look forward to exchanging views with my fellow PODers. For some of us Lion fans this is the only chance we get to talk about our favourite team. Thanks Sean for making that possible.

Best wishes to everyone here for the Christmas season and for a happy 2010. My thoughts and prayers are with you all……..Merry Christmas.

Roustique just had a baby didn't he??

I’m going to midnight mass tonight and light a special candle for all my friends including everyone on POD.

Merry Christmas JC

I am glad to hear that your wife is doing better. In the event that something bad does happen, all you can do is keep your loved one in your heart, speak of them as much as you can, and pray for God to take care of them until you meet again. One day at a time my friend. I wish for you to not have to deal with the pain I have felt this year. I wish that everyone here will live long and happy lives. However, if things go bad….I know I will be hear to listen and do anything I can to help.

Have a warm, safe, and happy holiday! God Bless.

Thank you JCruize. Thanks everyone.

It was bad year for me and my family. Frankly saying it was the worst one. I never thought I would carry my 3 days old child to the cemetery instead of taking him home. We`re still having hard times accepting that.

I know I’m a tad late with this reply post but, anyway, I wish all of you happy holidays. And Merry Christmas folks! (Idk if I told it anyone here but I`m a guy with Muslim background and I`m blessed to live in the area where Christians and Muslims have been living in peace for years. My wife is Christian, so we celebrate Christmas albeit it is January 7 down here). And may the New Year be the better one for you and your families. God bless.

God bless you Rou

May the new year be better for you and your family too. We’ll keep you in our prayers.

Rou I don’t know how you go on – you’re a stronger man than I. We all love you here and hope to see you more.
