With the National Football League entering the final leg of the season, playoff hopes have started to actualize — at least for some teams. The New England Patriots, as per usual, will take an easy sweep of the American Football Conference East division while the Pittsburgh Steelers seem a shoe-in for the top spot in the AFC North. That leaves two tight races in the AFC South and AFC West. In the South, the Tennessee Titans look to avenge their narrow denial of the playoffs last year, going up against the unexpectedly talented Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags, led by newly minted running back Leonard Fournette, will look to their final regular-season game when they face off against the Titans in what may be a win-or-go-home situation. The two teams’ upcoming schedules are nearly identical, making the final game all the more likely to be the deciding factor. The Jaguars nearly led the league in losses last year with a 3-13 record, making their flight to the top all the more dumbfounding.

The men’s basketball team tipped off its 2017 to 2018 campaign this past week, opening the season with two consecutive losses. The squad dropped a close contest in its season opener at Suffolk University on Wednesday, its comeback bid falling short despite a stellar performance from star guard Eric D’Aguanno ’20. The team followed that loss with another close defeat, blowing a six-point halftime lead en route to a loss at the hands of Becker College on Saturday. The new-look Judges should expect early trials this season, as the squad strives to build chemistry on a team that features nine underclassmen.

Former President Barack Obama weighed in, stating that the decision would negatively impact American workers. What do you think of this development and how should the U.S. proceed?

Members of the Brandeis women’s volleyball team, head coach Alesia Vaccari, family, friends and fans of this squad have an awful lot to be proud of this season. As the sports editor of the Justice, I have been covering this team for over a year now and I am truly inspired by this team’s incredible transformation. In just one year, the Judges improved their numbers in every major team category per set: assists, digs, service aces, blocks, hitting percentage and kills. Last year’s team finished the regular season with a 7-21 record and ended the year on a 12-game losing streak. This season, the Judges finished with a winning record at 15-14, including an outstanding 9-2 mark at home.
