It sucks balls. Will Smith brings the new year in right!

Happy New Year everyone

With the year 2010 just two days away, Americans with Time Warner Cable risk being unable to watch New Years Day football games on Fox. Basically Fox is trying to extract more $$ out of Time Warner Cable, and if they don’t pay, Fox will stop broadcasting to Time Warner customers.

Who will protect us Americans that just want to sit on our ass to watch football on Friday? None other than John Kerry, possibly the greatest American windsurfer/politician ever.

Senator Kerry wrote a letter to both companies on December 22nd requesting that they strike a deal so we can watch football on January 1st. And surprisingly, it appears to have worked, with Time Warner agreeing to head into arbitration in the last 48 hours of the year. Now that’s a real American hero.

You learn something new everyday. Today I found out that Lebron James and Tiger Woods share a birthday. Now we wonder who will have a better 2010?

The George W Bush Presidential library has released a list of some of the stuff it will have on display.

Sports memorabilia is high on the list. The facility will feature a baseball bat from 2001 signed by every living Hall of Famer. It will also have this autographed jersey.

For the Jets this weekend, it’s win and they’re in. But, if you know anything about Jets history, that probably means they’ll lose. Even if the Bengals play none of their regulars.

I don’t know if this video was the last time the Jets were in a similar situation, but it’s certainly the most memorable. They lost to a terrible Houston Oilers team on Sunday night football. But the game was just the undercard.

And to make it more relevant, Buddy Ryan’s son is now their coach and  Kevin Gilbride works across the parking lot, for the Giants.

On the bright side Tony Parker, you are married to Eva Longoria. The downside being she makes you and a couple of your teammates reenact “Summer Nights” from “Grease.” I have no idea how you talked Michael Finley, George Hill and Jacque Vaughn into doing this.

You know things are good for the New England Patriots when Randy Moss has time to have a little fun with the fans during a game. Make that one fan in particular. A guy tried his best to look like #81 and when shown on the big screen repeatedly did the patented Superman. Just see how Moss responded (2 minutes into the video).

What could possibly go wrong having Deion Sanders dress up as Santa Claus? It won’t be awkward at all to have Steve Mariucci sit on “Prime Time’s” lap. These kids won’t be terrified. Will they?

We had a lot of fun, drank a lot of beers, and thank you for reading SportsCracklePop religiously periodically throughout the year. Here is a list of our our seminal moments and highlights of 2009.
