Do You Want A Resolution?


I hope everybody's New Years celebration went well. Mine is pretty much the same every year; look back at all the goals I didn't meet then drink until I'm completely shitfaced to forget my failures. 2010 will be different though. Mainly because I have a venue to jot down my resolutions. I can't let my readers down (all three of you). Well here goes, as a sports fan, these are my goals for the new year.
  • I will not diss the game of soccer.
  • I will refrain from saying ______ reminds me of a young Halladay because I will simply be setting myself up for disappointment. There will never be another!
  • I will try to follow the CFL - I've always given the CFL a lot of grief but never much of a chance. This year will be different. As a Saskatchewan native, I'm leaning towards following the Riders.
  • I will make it out to at least 10 Jays games - The Jays are totally affordable when catching games in the 500s but Doc's departure makes it that much harder to pick games to watch. Here's to Shaun Marcum continuing where he left off before Tommy John.
  • I will not boo Vernon Wells - We're in it for the long haul, baby. Make me proud. I BELIEVE IN VERNON WELLS!!1
  • I will not go to Boston Pizza to watch UFC - If I have a party of 7 but only 6 of us are here, there is no reason why I shouldn't get a table. I am tired of your shit, Boston Pizza!
  • I will not get a bacon-wrapped dog at Burkie's Doghouse.
  • I will refrain from cursing if the Raptors blow a 20-point lead. Serenity now, serenity now...
  • I will not pretend to understand Cito Gaston's line up decisions.
  • NO MORE VESA TOSKALA DRINKING GAMES! My liver is still recovering.
Well, there you have it. Hopefully those are 10 goals that will make me a better sports fan at the end of the year. But like any good baseball player, I will be happy if I can hit .300.

  3. Before you settle on a team to call your own, promise me you'll go to a game at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton.

  4. I think you might want to change #7 to: "I will not get more than ___ bacon-wrapped dogs at Burkie's Doghouse."
    That would be a much more reasonable resolution. Hope to see you in the New Year!

  6. @Rich: I will and it will be hype! We are going to an Argos game next year!

    @eye: You said it, bro. I'm holding the sign!

    @Jared: How does the Maritimes not have a single CFL team? They should just group up the whole area and have 1 team represent them.

    @Junior: I have no idea what that last bit meant but it sounds like fun. I could never cheer for the Ti-Cats though.

    @KidK: My resolution doesn't rule out that fact that I can make my own bacon-wrapped dogs with extra bacon...
