According to a Jan. 18 article in the Washington Post, Assistant Attorney General Angela Povilaitis read a statement on Maroney’s behalf, saying, “I had flown all day and night with the team to get to Tokyo. He had given me a sleeping pill for the flight, and the next thing I know I was all alone with him in his hotel room getting a ‘treatment.’ I thought I was going to die that night.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been categorically abysmal these past two weeks. In that stretch, the Cavs have beaten only one team — the Orlando Magic, the worst team in the entire league. In those two contests against the Magic, the Cavs won by a combined five points. They barely squeezed by in a 104-103 win on Jan. 18 and allowed 127 points on Jan. 6. The following weekend, the Cavs outdid themselves once again, pathetically giving up 148 points to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Cavs were also handed their biggest loss of the season, a 34-point blowout, by their now conference rival, the Toronto Raptors.

Just a few short months ago, Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager grounded out to Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve to clinch the Astros’ first World Series title in franchise history. Yet the Astros continue to build up their stockpile, with the latest addition being Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Gerrit Cole. On Saturday afternoon, the deal was announced with Houston sending over starting pitcher Joe Musgrove, third baseman Colin Moran, relief pitcher Michael Feliz and outfielder Jason Martin. For a seemingly lackluster Major League Baseball offseason, the trade offers some respite. Cole, a former number one overall pick in 2011, has seen his numbers decline recently. This past season, Cole finished 12-12 with a 4.26 ERA. While that statline is far from remarkable, any durability concerns were answered through all 203 innings pitched in 2017. Additionally, Cole has two years of team control left, at a cap hit around $7 million.

Review — If you have read any of my columns from the past four years, you would know that I tend to talk about two things more often than not: Seth Meyers and feminism. On Sunday, Jan. 7, two of my favorite topics melded in perfect harmony: Seth Meyers hosted the 70th annual Golden Globes in Los Angeles. What distinguishes the Globes from other award shows is that they kick off the never-ending awards season, wherein Hollywood elites give themselves a pat on the back for all their hard work during the year. However, this year was more timely than all other award shows, because it was held during the aftermath of many Hollywood sexual misconduct and assault allegations, which particularly marred the careers of mogul Harvey Weinstein and other former Hollywood royalty. Artists in movies, television and theater started the “TIME’S UP” campaign on Jan. 1 to kick off a year in which they hope sexual assault will no longer be tolerated in the workplace. According to their GoFundMe page, “TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund will provide subsidized legal support to women and men who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace and while in pursuit of their careers.” On the night of the Golden Globes, actors, actresses and their guests wore black to stand in solidarity with those who have endured sexual assault in the workplace.

The Brandeis men’s basketball team has not started the season the way it intended. While the team has kept most of its games close, it has not had much luck finding the win column, starting off 1-5, including three straight losses. The season is still young, so the team still has time to put the pieces together, but the schedule is not going to get any easier as the team enters conference play in the coming months.

The men’s soccer season ended in heartbreaking fashion on Friday night, as the squad fell to Messiah College in the Final Four of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament for the second consecutive year. The loss caps yet another tremendous campaign for the Judges, who will return a talented crop of players next fall. In the final press conference of his first season at the helm, head coach Gabe Margolis summed up the Judges’ emotional season perfectly: “Soccer is a funny game, and a cruel game, and it’s also a great game. Today we were on the wrong end of it, but I can’t say enough about how well our team represented Brandeis University and Brandeis Soccer.”
