Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors is off to one of the hottest starts any player has had in NBA history. He is clearly the No. 1 player in the world right now, (sorry Mr. James) and is leading the Warriors to an undefeated season thus far. His shooting numbers are off the charts, and his per ...
Seven seasons. A combined record of 11-45. Multiple 0-8 seasons. The Jumbos' futile and heartbreaking seasons from 2008 to last year's respectable 4-4 finish loom over each new season, threatening to invalidate the tremendous effort expended every year. These ghastly memories were exorcised ...

The 4-2 Tufts football team will travel to face 1-5 Colby on Saturday. Despite Colby’s record, Tufts coach Jay Civetti wants to be sure his team does not get complacent in the season's final weeks.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has not had the best of times. It is hard to believe that this was the same Chelsea squad that romped to the title just a few months ago. It seems that Eden Hazard’s missed penalty is a representation of his own decline in form.If there’s anyone who can turn it around, ...
The men’s rowing team took the Head of the Fish Regatta in Saratoga, N.Y. by storm on Saturday, fielding 18 entries in eight events in their final regatta of the fall racing season.

A couple months ago, I was sitting at Mike’s in Davis Square, and there was a baseball game playing on the TV set. It was the middle of the day, and a few customers (plus the cashier) were watching it. It took me a couple of minutes to realize these adults were yelling at a game played by children ...

The NBA has evolved over the years since it was founded in 1946, but one of the most notable differences we have seen is the change in what referees consider fouls and technical fouls. A game that was once won by physically dominating one's opponent is now more of a finesse game as the number of foul ...
Coming off a dominant victory over Williams, Tufts was ready for its game on Saturday. Amherst, however, now 6-0, boasts the NESCAC's second stingiest defense and limited Tufts to a season-low seven points in its 32-7 victory at Tufts' Ellis Oval. Tufts falls to 4-2 and, after losing to ...
This week in the NFL was -- compared to most weeks -- tame. There wasn’t much that went truly and horribly wrong, and, for the most part, football was the most memorable thing that happened. Still, there’s no such thing as a week in which everything goes right.
And there I was, wondering if Leicester had lost the plot. When they sacked Nigel Pearson, the man that eventually saved them from relegation with the tweaking of tactics, I was ludicrous.Then Claudio Ranieri got appointed. Tinkerman? Finishing second-best at Chelsea and Monaco, even with the resources ...
After an impressive eight-match winning streak, the volleyball team suffered its first pair of defeats in three weeks at the New England Challenge this past weekend.The first leg of the tournament, which was played on Friday at Cousens Gym, saw the Jumbos continue their winning ways against the Wellesley ...
