There is not enough sugar in your favorite pie to make this Thanksgiving anything better than bittersweet.
A pandemic that descended upon our sports world in March still is here.
Lives have been lost. Lives have been threatened. These are the most important things. That cannot be forgotten.
Far down the list, but still on the list, is the impact on the sports world. The virus has canceled seasons, shredded schedules, eliminated opportunities, curtailed crowds and kept us from the shared experiences we too often took for granted.
Yet even while we wait to break through to the other side, and we will break through to the other side, it is clear our sports region is overflowing with reasons to give thanks.
