    It’s been a tough one. To play or not to play? That question during this pandemic has weighed heavy on my mind, and it’s one I’ve never fully been able to reconcile with one way or another. Of course, my heart is in sports, at all levels. I mean, for one thing, it’s what I do for a living. So understandably, I have wanted sports to get back to some kind of normalcy.
