Salamone 'engineers' with intensity on the field

By Sruthi Kocherlakota | May 17

As one of Tufts field hockey’s most prolific offensive and defensive players, graduating senior midfielder Marguerite Salamone has left an impressive impact. Salamone’s intensity and grit is unmatched, and her consistent efforts have earned her a spot on the All-American first team, the All-Region team and the All-Conference team in her final season.

The Turf Monster: The NFL Draft was bittersweet and perfect

By Aiden Herrod | April 27

The NFL Draft has a weird place in my heart. As a die-hard football fan, it’s cool to see what moves teams make. It’s fun to learn some of the big college names and predict who’s gonna be a star. It’s great to see my favorite teams invest in their futures — especially when my Dallas Cowboys take the best receiver in the draft at pick number 17.

NBA goes back to basketball's roots

By Arnav Sacheti | April 21

As ESPN NBA commentator Mark Jones best put it, the NBA HORSE Challenge was the NBA’s well-intentioned attempt to continue “keeping score” during the sports hiatus caused by the coronavirus. Jones was also a commentator for this challenge, mediating over a select group of eight seasoned professional basketball players playing a traditional playground game on the nights of April 12 and 16.

Keeping up with the 617: 3-round Patriots mock draft

By Matt Goguen | April 21

The New England Patriots head into the 2020 NFL Draft in a novel situation regarding its current roster, as Tom Brady and many key defensive cogs no longer remain with the organization. Known for being very conservative with their draft choices, the Patriots just can't afford to keep trading down and receiving middling picks. This is a draft where the Patriots need to focus on rebuilding a solid roster and reviving a sunken fan base.

Off the Gridiron: 'Difficult, reasonable, likely' NFL draft edition

By Henry Gorelik | April 10

As the Class of 2024 is currently making choices about where to go to college, it reminded me of an exercise that I did with my college counselors during the beginning of my college selection process. I came into the meeting with a list of schools, and we placed them into categories “difficult," “reasonable" and “likely."

The Turf Monster: 3 hot takes to come out of free agency

By Aiden Herrod | April 8

I know, I know, I’m late on this. Most of the big ticket free agents have been signed, save for a few notable holdouts (here’s looking at you, Jadeveon Clowney). But now that the dust has settled, and we’ve all more or less processed the absence of sports right now, it’s time to spit the hot takes. I’m going bold with these, because what’s free agency without a little mayhem and overreaction? Without further ado, here are my three big statements on this year’s free agency period.

Keeping Up with the 617: The effect of Chris Sale's injury

By Matt Goguen | April 6

Amid the suspension of the MLB due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris Sale underwent Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow and is slated to miss the remainder of the season. Since the Red Sox blew up the offseason by trading Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers, this current season seemed like a re-tooling year. Sale, who missed a portion of last season due to elbow soreness, seemed to suffer a minor setback in spring training.

'Coronanomics' and basketball

By Arnav Sacheti | April 3

Congratulations! You are now three weeks into the unprecedented no sports era, and are still alive and thriving. At least that’s what we hope. For the average sports consumer like you and I, the coronavirus has rocked the athletically oriented side of us into a frenzy. We suddenly have no idea what to do with our time, but we can still take solace in watching highlights, game reruns and even online versions of the games, like the Phoenix Suns of the NBA are doing, all while maintaining optimism for play to resume.

Off the Gridiron: The sneaky winners of NFL free agency

By Henry Gorelik | April 3

While the headlines of free agency were stolen by Tom Brady signing with the Buccaneers, the Cardinals robbing the Texans by landing DeAndre Hopkins, the Eagles rescuing Darius Slay from the Lions and the Dolphins making Byron Jones the league’s highest paid corner, several teams made quieter moves that will pay serious dividends during the season.
