Jackson’s Journal: 2025 NFL Mock Draft

By Jackson Melin Cornerback Travis Hunter playing against the Colorado State Rams, photo by the Colorado Buffaloes With the NFL season wrapping up, the draft order is all but decided. The Tennessee Titans hold the coveted first overall pick. They finished 3-14, which ties them with the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns for the worst record in the league. The first selection is awarded to the worst team in the league; however, this was a three-way tie. Out of the three teams, Tennessee had the lowest “strength of schedule”, which means that they faced lower-quality opponents.  So, who are the top prospects?  The University of Miami’s Cam Ward set the school’s single season record in both passing yards and passing touchdowns, resulting in Ward winning the Davey O...

Jackson’s Journal: Simple Bears’ Necessities

By Jackson Melin Quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze, photo by the Chicago Bears Since 2000, the Chicago Bears have had 20 starting quarterbacks, tied for second most of all time. No Chicago Bears quarterback has ever thrown for more than 3,900 yards or 30 touchdowns. The Bears were founded in 1920, yet only have one Super Bowl win to their name (excluding pre-NFL championships). With that in mind, how does this franchise only have one ring? One word, ineptness. Reflecting on the years that have passed, you’ll find continued errors, wasted opportunities and failure to learn from previous mistakes. The Bears have passed on franchise-altering talent since its conception. Here’s a short list of the available missed players in the past 15 years: Patrick Mahom...

Review: Samara Joy at Fox Theatre in Tucson

By Jaymes Grace A signed copy of "Portrait" by Samara Joy on vinyl The amazing Miss Samara Joy made an appearance at the Historic Fox Theatre in Downtown Tucson this past Halloween night. As I waited to enter the venue, the theatre was abuzz with anticipation. I was introduced to this 24-year-old jazz great only two weeks prior, but the theatre was packed with gray-haired aficionados of jazz, who unlike myself, have been enthralled with Joy since the release of her self-titled debut album in 2021. Once I entered, the stage was set—four chairs, a drum set, a piano and bench, a stool and a stand-alone music stand for the bass player. Right at 7:30 PM, Joy’s seven-piece band entered, took their seats against the blue and red-lit backdrop and began to play their jazzy notes. Joy g...
