Hoops Traveler: NBA bubble party poopers, Yugoslavia edition

By Arnav Sacheti | October 2

Nikola Jokić? Luka Dončić? Goran Dragić? Nikola Vučević? What is the commonality between them all? If you said that their names all end in “ic”, you would be right, but you would be remiss to the point of ignorance. To give them a little more respect, these are the names of star NBA players who surpassed expectations and led their respective teams deep into the 2020 playoffs.

Livestreamed and Quarantined: ‘Girls with Guitars’

By Florence Almeda | October 2

In the early months of quarantine, the two-time Grammy Award winning R&B artist H.E.R. began a livestream series, “Girls With Guitars,” a weekly conversation and performance with a fellow female guitarist on Instagram Live. On Episode 2, H.E.R. invited one of my biggest musical inspirations onto the show, Lianne La Havas.

The Turf Monster: My NBA Finals pick

By Aiden Herrod | October 1

I am firmly and unabashedly proclaiming my love for this Miami Heat team. I have immense respect for well-built, deep and complementary rosters, and the Heat are just that. They bring the energy every night on both ends, and the competition they’ve dispatched to get here is superior to what the Lakers dealt with.

Keep the Cameras Rolling: A post-COVID world

By Julian Levy | September 30

Consciously or unconsciously, the zeitgeist of living in a world with coronavirus could influence television and movies thematically.  Anxiety, frustration due to long-lasting lockdowns, and resentment toward a government that has mishandled its response to the disease will have an impact on the way screenwriters everywhere see the world, and how they characterize it.

On the Big Screen: Tenet

By Iverson Eliopoulos | September 29

If you know what you’re getting yourself into, you’ll have a great time with this film. It’s not Nolan’s magnum opus, but it can certainly hold its own against his other great movies.

Sobremesa: We must do more to transform the criminal justice system

By Elizabeth Buehl | September 29

In Spanish, Sobremesa is a word that describes the time before and after a meal when people spend time catching up. I chose this title because while Sobremesa is a hallmark of Hispanic culture, this word has no direct English translation, illustrating the tendency of the American culture to skip over meaningful, casual discussion. Each week, Sobremesa will be a place to come to open your eyes to a social justice issue that you may want to bring to your own dining table.

Maeve's Music Mondays: Unboxing

By Maeve Hagerty | September 28

So, here we are: at the beginning of what I believe will be a hopefully interesting, possibly odd, column. I can’t profess to know more than basic music theory, but I can promise my column will be ripe with the ramblings of a lifelong music-lover and shower-singer whose habitual humming, singing and lack-luster rapping skills somehow make her qualified to write for The Tufts Daily.

Sharp from the Sofa: Sunday sermons

By Alex Sharp | September 28

It might sound crazy to view watching football as a holy experience but I assure you that it is. Every year in September, the air begins to feel a little bit crisper, leaves start to change color and a layer of dew appears on the grass in the morning. You can feel that it’s football season.

The Countdown: Time to panic

By Matt Rice | September 28

Trump will forever alter the court and every aspect of the United States. Barrett is 48 years old. She will most likely sit on the court until I am a grandfather. It is impossible to understate how wildly corrupted this process is, and just how impactful she could be.

Sharp from the Sofa: What is that man doing on second base?

By Alex Sharp | September 21

Anyone who hasn’t tuned into MLB this season may be unaware of the atrocious new extra inning rule in which each team starts off every extra inning with a runner on second base. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw is one of many players to voice their displeasure with the rule, telling reporters “It’s not real baseball. But it’s fine for this year, and I hope we never do it again.”

The Turf Monster: Favorite 2020 moments

By Aiden Herrod | May 18

I’m gonna be blunt. 2020 has been awful for sports. Approximately two and a half months into the pandemic, every single league without exception closed its doors for the foreseeable future. When they will resume is anyone’s guess.

Game Day: The Shot

By Alex Sharp | May 18

Up three with less than 10 seconds to go in a basketball game and the other team has the ball — to foul or not to foul? An age-old question debated by coaches, players, commentators and fans alike.
