The Skip Bayless Report's 2009 New Years Resolutions

Besides for losing weight and finding eternal love, I have other more accomplishable New Years resolutions that deal with sports. Sports have been good to me, but I have not really been that great back over the past year or so. Sports have given me entertainment, and all I have given back is well nothing really besides for writing satire articles that all consistently have been low blows to sports. So here are my resolutions this year in an attempt to be a better overall fan:

1. Actually pay more attention to the Super Bowl game rather than the commercials.

2. In accordance with 1, promise not to watch whatever terrible over the hill performer during the Super Bowl half time show.

3. For probably the first time ever research the teams in the March Madness bracket before picking my games. This is instead of my old methods of picking all 5-12 games as upsets and not having any number one seeds in the final four.

4. Watch all final four games...I only say this because for the most part I only care about watching the actual championship game.

5. Give Jay Marriotti one more try. (This is definitely going to be the first resolution I am going to break, but I will try).

6. Watch a full NHL game that is not a playoff game, or a Bridgestone Winter Classic.

7. Watch a full NBA game that is not a playoff game.

8. Stay up for all seven rounds of the NFL draft and not want to kill Chris Berman by round five.

9. Actually believe "There is always next year" when I am talking about the Cubs, because there is always 2010.

10. Not miss my fantasy football draft and if I do then I will not claim that I am genius at fantasy football when the computer picked the base of my championship team.

I am sure I am missing some other ones that I am missing, but for now this is a good starting list. Happy New Years everyone!
