I am riffing on a semi-regular annual New Year's column in my newspapers. It’s time for my New Year’s resolutions for other people, along with a few belated Christmas gifts.
These are mainly snarky, but serious ones are in the mix as well. Let’s start there.
So, for Jethro Jerry Jones, if I had the magic power to gift you this, it would be a playoff appearance. But, not just any playoff appearance. Instead, a rematch of the regular season game, the kissing not your sister but Micah Parsons tie with the Green Bay Packers. That said, your Cowboys appear to have fallen short of any playoff appearance, and Micah Parsons’ knee has interrupted a rematch.
For all non-Republican political parties in Texas (“all” means there’s more than one), a resolution to get more political candidates.
For Cooper Flagg? The first-ever Jason Kidd Rookie Point Guard of the Year award.
For the Joker, aka Big Honey, aka Nicola Jokic? Winning that double-double of the NBA rebounding and assists title, and doing it while taking the Denver Nuggets to another NBA title.
For Major League Baseball fans? A season that doesn’t end with an owners’ lockout after it’s done, or, shades of 1994, a players’ strike before it reaches the finish lines.
For Brandon Gill, a town hall in the area. Ask Ernest Lineberger what they are if you need to. Maybe Gavin Solomon and Robert Chick can find 20,000 mules to help convey you to one before the end of February. That said, Republicans in my area appear to have you covered.
