The thing I love most about sports is summarized in one word: Team. This past weekend I was watching the season debut of Saturday Night Live (lame, I know). The musical guest that night was Arcade Fire. During the Arcade Fire performance, I started relating what they were doing to a sports team. This week I will focus on what being on team truly means and how we can all be great teammates.

The team includes musicians performing on the guitar, drums, viola, horns, cello, and violin. While I didn’t find the song performed on SNL to be their best, I thought it was great team performance.
