<p>Hope you&#8217;re all having a great holiday and getting ready for the New Year.</p>
<p>During this time, it&#8217;s time to reflect on how your Christmas was and perhaps start thinking about somethings you like to do or maybe have in the 2009. Start lining up those New Years resolutions.</p>
<p>I, for one, would like to lose the spare tire I have and hope to see the Yankees back in the playoffs. Whereas junior in the picture above I bet he just wishes to never face plant again. Safety first!</p>

<p><strong>Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Tony Hawk and Michael Phelps.</strong></p>
<p>No, this isn&#8217;t the lineup for the new cover of a Wheaties box, but rather, these four are starring in a new commercial for <em><strong>Guitar Hero World Tour</strong></em> of all things. And to be honest, it&#8217;s not half bad. I&#8217;ll to the first to tell you, I even cracked a smile.</p>
<p>Watching the four of them playing air band in tribute to Tom Cruise&#8217;s performance in <em><strong>Risky Business </strong></em>had me bust a gut. The only thing I squirmed at was Michael Phelps. He looked a bit awkward manning the guitar and, is it me, or is anyone else on Phelps overload?</p>

<p>Up to the this point of my relatively short life, I&#8217;ve seen and heard of men taking on extra shifts at work just to avoid their wives or girlfriends. They&#8217;ve even taken on some new hobbies to get out of the house. Sad, I know, but sometimes they&#8217;d rather just make a little more money than be nagged at home.</p>
<p>For some reason, I&#8217;m thinking that must be the case for <strong>Tony Romo</strong>.</p>
<p>Despite having a broken pinkie, the <strong>Dallas Cowboys</strong> quarterback is still hoping he can play on Sunday. He didn&#8217;t participate in a full practice session yesterday, but did do some throwing drills.</p>
<p>Romo must really want to get away from <strong>Jessica</strong> and the rest of the wacky Simpson family if he&#8217;s willing to try to play despite the broken digit. You know Romo has seen all the episodes of <strong><em>Newlyweds</em></strong> and doesn&#8217;t want to get driven nuts like<strong> Nick Lachey</strong> was. It&#8217;s no secret Simpson isn&#8217;t much for conversation, but better used for as eye-candy.</p>
<p>I wonder if one of Romo&#8217;s favorite phrases around the house is, &#8220;shush Jessica. Just stand there and look cute.&#8221;</p>
<p>And is it just me, but does Jessica look evil in the picture above?</p>

<p>Want to see a grown man cry? Take a close look at the picture above. Those are tears welling up in that man&#8217;s eyes.</p>
<p>That there is the son of Kimbo Slice. Between the facial hair and the rainbow colored necklace, I&#8217;m going to put the range of age for him to be between 17 and 30, which means, he&#8217;s old enough to not cry like a little girl.</p>
<p>If you remember from this weekend, Kimbo was knocked out by <strong>Seth Petruzelli<strong> with a punch that couldn&#8217;t knock down a stack of cards. It was pretty embarrassing seeing how Petruzelli was merely a last minute fill-in. But with one slap and 15 seconds later, Kimbo was done. </strong></strong></p>
<p>Apparently Junior took the loss hard from this photo. Either he&#8217;s genuinely sad his father was beat by a man with pink hair, or he&#8217;s crying, watching his money train lay there on the mat.</p>
<p>Lets hope JR is holding up OK. I&#8217;m guessing the woman next to him is his mother. I wonder what&#8217;s going through her mind at this point. Maybe the banshee scream coming from JR is hurting her ears.</p>
<p>OK, I&#8217;ll stop raggin&#8217; on the guy. I guess I&#8217;d cry too if my father got beat up by Tinkerbell.</p>
