The Sports Sermon

Battle of the Sexes

There are two genders in our world: the male and the female. By and large, the male enjoys viewing sports more than the female, for the simple reason that if he can’t talk about sports effectively at a young age, he will be cast aside by the masses. A case in point of this situation: In the summer before sixth grade, when I was a hugely fat, zit-infested kid who wore striped clothing way too much and talked with a lisp, I went to a summer program geared towards really smart kids.

Memento writer visits campus

Jumping for love

A remarkable thing is happening right now at Arena Stage: They are performing a romantic comedy that somehow escapes the nauseating and hackneyed nature of the genre as a whole. On the contrary, Arena’s latest production, On the Jump, is both cleverly engaging and surprisingly refreshing.

Have football, will travel

Saturdays are days of mourning at Georgetown. Instead of happily bounding out of bed, grabbing some Tylenol and heading off to the Tombs to get steeled for the game ahead, the average football fan awakes to the unhappy reality that if he or she is to feed his or her addiction, it will be done cheering on some other college with a good football team.
