There was a soup thrower in the locker room. There was a tickler on the hockey rink. There were science deniers swallowing their hot air. There was a hint of doomsday on a golf course.
Sports drifted into strange places in 2018. Sometimes everyone seemed lost.
The Scottish soccer team Brechin played an entire 36-game season without winning a game. That hadn't happened since the 19th century. The Washington Nationals brought three camels to spring training, a proclamation that this year they would finally get over the playoff hump. Well, the hump was big and there were no playoffs for the Nationals, just the lasting scent of camel's breath.
