‘Twas the week before Bowl games
And all through the land
Not a creature was happy
With where the BCS did stand.
Alabama and Texas
Would decide No. 1,
While TCU and Boise
Claimed they had been shunned.
Cincinnati exclaimed
‘What about all our hard work?
We won all our games too,
Plus our coach was a jerk.’
Meanwhile in Tigerland,
The man in red was still hiding.
No appearances, no photos,
His time he was biding.
The world’s greatest golfer
In the year’s biggest scandal,
Nothing else could compete
Or hold even a candle.
Now Sergio and Phil,
Maybe Padraig and Ernie,
Should all thank TMZ
For making Tiger-less tourneys.
The Lakers were winning
At a staggering pace
As the rest of the league
Gave a half-hearted chase.
The Cavaliers’ marriage
Of Shaq and LeBron
Seemed to be going about as well
As the split Kate and Jon.
But a Christmas day victory
May have shifted their season;
They toppled the Lakers,
Is that a good enough reason?
Brett Favre began to wilt
In December for the Vikes,
Turning back into the player
That might keep fans up nights.
The Colts remained perfect
But didn’t seem concerned,
Their ultimate goal
Is a Super Bowl earned.
The Saints lost perfection
To the Cowboys from Dallas,
But the ‘Boys will still choke
(Yes, I do have some malice).
Trades and signings kept
Baseball’s hot stove burning bright
But Matt Holliday and Jason Bay
Saw their pockets remain light.
With their options running out
They may have to instead
Sign a contract not quite as big
As Barry Bonds’ head.
The new year brings questions
And hope and excitement;
The Redskins may figure out
That trick play alignment.
I hope Manny and Floyd
Can get in the ring.
Please don’t let some blood test
Put an end to this thing.
If fans return to stadiums
They might even fill one;
If a linesman yells ‘foot fault’
Serena might kill one.
2010’s on its way
And closing in tight
So, ‘Live from New York
It’s….’ oh wait, that’s not right…
I’m all out of rhymes
I’ve just hit the wall
Quitting while I’m ahead:
Happy New Year to all!
