I was trying to decide whether a column looking back at 2022's US sporting landscape would spin positively or negatively.

Or, I wondered, should I steer clear and look ahead to an exciting 2023 and hope with the rest of us that surely next year has to be better than the worldwide horror of the one we're getting rid of on Saturday?
