It’s the new year.

Time to hit the reset button.

Time to say goodbye to 2014 and hello to the promise of 2015.

This year is a big one. This is the year Marty McFly visited in Back to the Future Part II.

I’m still waiting for my flying car, hoverboard, self-lacing Nike tennis shoes and for the Cubs to win the World Series.

The flying car is more of a possibility than a Cubs championship.

The biggest thing this year has to offer is resolutions.

Everyone makes them.

Most fail.

I’m not going to make any because, well, I never stick to them.

Every Jan. 1, I inevitably make some, like getting in better shape (as I watch TV and nibble on Doritos) or spend less money (as I pick up the phone and order a Brett Favre minted commemorative coin. I need that!) or imagining just how good the Buffalo Bills would be with a merely adequate quarterback (is Vinny Testaverde still playing?)

Some resolutions that some prominent sports figures most likely made last year that they didn’t stick to:

Decision-maker LeBron James: “I’m never going back to Cleveland.”

Bad-decision maker Johnny Manziel: “That’s it. No more parties. Oh, and I’m going to tear the NFL up.”

Detroit Lions’ defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh: “I won’t stomp on anyone (but what if my feet get numb and I step on an ankle? That’s OK, right?)”

Former 49ers’ coach and current Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh: “I’ll never return to coaching college football. Plus, the 49ers give me these great khaki pants. This NFL gig is easy. Plus, I have Colin Kaepernick at quarterback. What could go wrong?”

Former Buffalo Bills’ quarterback and 1960s trucker Kyle Orton: “I’ll have a press conference when I retire. I totally won’t say I’m going to a meeting and never come back. And I’ll shave my moustache and get a haircut.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith: “We’ll get back to playing Buc Ball. They played Buc Ball in 1976, right?”

Sidney Crosby: “I’ll get the Pens back to the Stanley Cup, unless something totally random happens, something crazy like a mumps outbreak or something. What are the odds of that?”

Chicago Bears surly quarterback Jay Cutler: “I’ll smile more.”

Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane: “I won’t trade half my roster at the deadline if I’m in first place.”

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston: “I’ll stop making a fool out of myself. I definitely won’t stand on a table and yell obscenities.”

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman: “I’m going to relax and say as little as possible.”

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch: “Yeah.”
