» Free Friday: JoeBlogs Sportsperson of the Year
2023/12/01 19:21 from JoeBlogs
On Thursday, it was announced that Sports Illustrated named Deion Sanders Sportsperson of the Year, and I guess there’s been a bit of a hubbub, a hullabaloo, a hurly-burly, if you will, over this choice, since Coach Prime’s Colorado squad went 1-8 after a couple of exciting early upsets, and you could argue that finishing 12th in the Pac-12 might not quite be quite Sportsperson of the Year stuff. The counterargument is that Sanders pumped all sorts of life into college football and into the Colorado football community, and I’m not here for that argument.

I say “somehow,” because as far as I know, the Chronicle had not had a sports columnist before, and I was not exactly hired to be the first. I was hired to cover University of Georgia football and local colleges and high school sports and, obviously, Masters golf year-round and whatever else happened to come up.
