As the year comes to a close, like we have done the last four years, WFNY will take a look at what we view to be the 10 biggest sports stories affecting our local sports scene.

The Ohio State perfect 12-0 season was number eight while Chris Perez’ harsh and honest words clocked in at number seven.
