A little wrinkle in the plan has developed with both teams getting off to similarly sluggish starts, though.

On July 8, 2010, the entire basketball world was watching ESPN, where superstar free agent forward LeBron James was about to announce where he would spend the next chapter of his career. Instead of returning to his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, James famously declared he would be taking his talents to South Beach, joining forces with guard Dwyane Wade and forward Chris Bosh in the hopes of bringing a title to the Miami Heat. James and Bosh each could have been paid more to play elsewhere, but they sacrificed some money in order to win a ring.

The men's soccer team continued its impressive season, splitting this weekend's games against two solid opponents from its conference. The No. 15 Judges dropped Friday’s game 1-0 to the University of Rochester before winning an exciting double-overtime marathon against Emory University on Sunday.

However, the Judges cannot afford to lose too many more matches. The team has the necessary unity, talent and depth to thrive as the temperature drops for playoffs, but it will need to maintain its winning ways for the remainder of the regular season. Sporadic losses will only hurt their chances as they will need to maintain consistency.

When news broke that the Boston Red Sox had parted ways with manager John Farrell, the general consensus among fans was relief. Despite winning back-to-back American League East titles in 2016 and 2017, the Sox failed to make it past the divisional round, losing all but one game in the two postseason appearances. Farrell’s every move seemed to be under scrutiny, as his team with such high expectations continually underperformed. But it wasn’t always this way — John Farrell once was a symbol of hope.

Tanking. The word carries with it much controversy. Some view it as taboo, a despicable strategy that should not even be spoken of out loud, while others view it as the new “normal” in attempting to cobble together a championship roster. Tanking is the art of intentionally building a team of below-average, usually young, players in the hopes that a miserable season will land the team high draft picks in the next season’s amateur draft.
