I am thankful for reasonably good health and just barely enough economic security such that I can call myself a sportswriter without stretching the truth.
Also:
For the NYCFC supporter community.
For cornbread stuffing.
For David Lee’s scouting operation.
For the media outlets here in New York that believe covering MLS is important.
For criticism.
For Katie Nolan and Jennifer Lawrence, whose careers I dream of emulating.
For the new record from A Tribe Called Quest.
For Jack Harrison’s left foot.
For the freedom to yell at sports things on television.
