Jackson’s Journal: Simple Bears’ Necessities

By Jackson Melin Quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze, courtesy of 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 Mahome...

Review: Samara Joy at Fox Theatre in Tucson

A signed copy of "Portrait" by Samara Joy on vinyl By Jaymes Grace 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 gave ...

Opinion: A-Ma(ye)zing Grace

Drake Maye, photo courtesy of New England Patriots  By Jackson Melin Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Bill Belichick; those are the names that are immediately thought of when mentioning the New England Patriots. The 6-time Super Bowl-winning dynasty was a force from 2001-2019. But those times are long gone, and no trace of the original team is still on the roster. This is a new-look Patriots team with a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback.  The Patriots hired former player Jerod Mayo as head coach this last offseason to try and rebuild the dreadful 4-13 squad. They also drafted North Carolina’s quarterback Drake Maye third overall in the 2023 draft. So far, the experiment hasn’t worked out as the Patriots have a 1-4 record. The veteran “bridge QB” Jacoby Brissett has unde...
