Thanksgiving weekend I noticed a lot of columnists churning out pieces with warm and fuzzy “thank yous” to a number of items in their personal lives, essentially telling their readers how lucky they are. I’m not going to write that column. For starters, I’m sure there are very few, if any, readers of this column that actually care about my personal relationships and their profound effect on my spirit. This is a sports column, not the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
