Here's a dumb statement for you: What a year it's been!
It's hard to even write an opening paragraph to set up this column in which we're going to look back at the best, worst and most noteworthy of 2020. The sports world completely changed on the night of March 11, when Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. That positive test shut down sports for a long time. The NCAA Tournament was done. The XFL went out of business. Baseball's Opening Day was wiped out.
Luckily, sports eventually returned months later and we were able to get back to some normalcy, at least where sports is concerned.
