This has been a damn year. Unforgettable, mostly in all the wrong ways.
We’ve lost icons. Endured a tough election cycle. Seen sports put on pause for moths. All while a pandemic has claimed 1.4 million lives, including 250,000 in the United States.
In spite of it all, this is a time of reflection for many of us, and in spite of myself, I find myself writing this column, things, mostly sports-related, that I’m thankful for this year.
Oh yeah. We’re walking this well-worn path. It’s a slow week, so just read and enjoy.
Here we go in (largely) no particular order.
