Brian Rowe | Calls the Shots

The NFL lockout that will likely begin on March 4 will not end quickly or gracefully. The owners — or prime evildoers in this saga — all run franchises valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Even the Detroit Lions, who at 0−16 in 2008 had almost as many problems as Bear Stearns that year, were reportedly valued at $917 million. In this struggle between owners and players, the owners are asking for more money, more games and for the players to sacrifice their bodies even more than they already do. The players want the same deal as that which already exists: The same number of games, plus financial accountability from the owners.

Ice Hockey | Finally, losing streak halted at 12 games

After enduring a two-month-long, 12-game losing streak, the ice hockey team split its final two home games of the season this past weekend at the Malden Forum. The weekend, in many ways symbolic of the entire season, had its ups — the Jumbos broke their losing streak Friday with a dramatic 6-5 win over the University of New England (UNE) — and its downs, as Tufts was then thrashed by Southern Maine 5-1 on Saturday
