3. Sports Resurrection

This week, the Collective presents a “resurrection”-themed discussion in observation of Easter Sunday. In a wide-ranging conversation, the hosts first reflect on the Boston Red Sox, in pre- and post-2004 context. Golf’s two foremost legends and their respective last(?) Masters triumphs are next examined, followed by an evaluation of the talented neophytes occupying NBA backcourts, who we’d rather be watching than projecting in our hopefully soon-resurrected sports world. In addition, Zak buries the the right wing’s efforts to tie COVID-19 to various inane conspiracy theories, Andrew says a eulogy for the XFL (again), and Ed draws comps between two collections of sad sacks from the political and sporting worlds that we are not about to just give away in this summary. Brought to you from the great outdoors, finally together in person and most assuredly in observance of social distancing measures, join us for a fun, eclectic episode.
