Mistakes were made? No, a sports columnist owns up in the active voice

Seeing as how our world is currently devoid of … what’s the word I’m looking for … it’ll come to me … oh, yes, sports, it occurs to me that this might be a good time to confess my column sins.

It occurs to me mostly because it occurred to reader Ed, who suggested the idea to me. Ed thought it might be “interesting’’ if I wrote about those times I was “too critical or too easy on a team or player.’’

His “interesting’’ is my “painful,’’ but it’s OK. I’m here for you during this dry period for sports, when every one of us is trying to shake drops out of a dusty water bottle.
