Beyond the Sidelines: Just trade A.J. already

As NFL general managers are in full trade mode for this off season, perhaps one of the most discussed topics is whether the Philadelphia Eagles are going to trade star wide receiver A.J. Brown. As an Eagles fan, I might be a little biased in stating his popularity, but where he goes (if he leaves) has the potential to affect the preparation for all NFL head coaches for next season.

Tufts men’s ice hockey loses to Williams in first round of NESCAC playoffs

Despite being the higher-ranked team, the Tufts men’s ice hockey team entered the quarterfinals of the NESCAC playoffs with some anxiety about its opponent, Williams. Throughout the season, the Jumbos continually struggled to make offensive plays against the Ephs’ defense — especially junior goalie Harrison Fogel. Of the three games that went into overtime this season, two were against Williams.

Beyond the Sidelines: The Olympics do not define the GOATs in ski racing

As I write this article, the Winter Olympics in Italy are in full swing. Perhaps the two most prominent names from Team USA are Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn. If you have any knowledge of either of these athletes, you may know that luck has not been on their side when it comes to the current Olympics. Widely considered the GOAT athletes in ski racing, it would be expected for them to place very well in these prestigious games. GOAT swimmer Michael Phelps has a total of 28 Olympic medals. GOAT gymnast Simone Biles has 11 Olympic medals. Shiffrin and Vonn each have three Olympic medals, relatively few compared to their respective peers.
