As we enter Week 9 of the National Football League season, conversations are heating up about who will succeed in becoming Super Bowl Champions. Before the season started, some of the favorites to go the distance included the reigning Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl runner-ups. However, some of the teams leading the standings right now have shocked the league based on performances in the past few seasons.
Since sports talk shows have become a greater part of sports media, debates comparing various players throughout a sport’s history have become more pertinent. A main draw of sports talk shows is hearing bigger personalities, such as Stephen A. Smith or Shannon Sharpe, make broad claims. Who is the best? Who is the greatest? It's a deceptively simple question that fuels endless arguments across every sport, and yet after decades of debate, no clear answer has emerged. Why? Because fans keep conflating two words that aren't the same. Best and greatest are not synonyms. Nevertheless, if you turn on your TV you will hear sports analysts give a passionate soliloquy interchanging the words. The two words may sound similar but they measure totally different things: one is about peak dominance and the other is about lasting impact.
The 2025 MLB season wrapped up on Saturday with the Los Angeles Dodgers winning their second consecutive World Series. The Dodgers fought past the Toronto Blue Jays in seven incredibly intense games that featured a total of 10 extra innings, 19 home runs and several controversial calls.
The 2025-26 NBA season is only a week old and we’ve already seen historic performances, big surprises and involvement from the FBI. The season kicked off last Tuesday with an instant classic between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets. The game went to double overtime and came down to a single missed shot from the Rockets’ Jabari Smith Jr. to decide the game, with the Thunder coming out with the season’s first win. This game would prove to be prophetic of what would come over the next week.

If a team is undefeated through the ninth week of the college football season, they are very solidly one of the best teams in the nation. This season, six teams can claim the feat of going 8-0 at this point in the season. Classic powerhouse programs like The Ohio State University and Texas A&M University have yet to lose, which isn’t particularly surprising for teams of their caliber. Some up-and-coming programs like Brigham Young University and University of Indiana-Bloomington remain undefeated as well, establishing themselves after creating promise last season. Georgia Institute of Technology crashed the party this season, led by head coach Brent Key and potential Heisman candidate Haynes King, blowing expectations out of the water. The last undefeated team this season, perhaps surprisingly, is the United States Naval Academy.
On Oct. 26, Jannik Sinner played Alexander Zverev in the finals of the Erste Bank Open — commonly known as the Vienna Open. The two players previously met in the 2025 Australian Open in January, where Zverev had fallen to Sinner in straight sets with a score line of 3-6, 6-7, 3-6. In Vienna, Zverev had a chance to redeem himself, but he fell short again.
This year has already been historic for the Association of Tennis Professionals tour, with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner showing levels of dominance that haven’t been seen since the Big Three: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Between the two of them they won all four of the Grand Slam tournaments and three of the Masters 1000 tournaments. This raises some questions: How will the rankings shape out beneath the top two, and who would’ve won these tournaments if Sinner and Alcaraz weren’t there? The Shanghai Open gave some interesting insight into these questions.
The NFL's seventh week featured a mix of great plays, intense games and potentially the most controversial moment of the season thus far.
Sister Dolores Jean Schmidt has been one of the most important and unique figures in men’s college basketball for her over-30-year career as team chaplain for the Loyola University Chicago Ramblers men’s basketball team. Many schools, specifically Jesuit institutions, have dedicated team chaplains who provide spiritual guidance and lead their teams in prayers before their games. Basketball powerhouses such as Gonzaga University and Marquette University participate in this practice, although their chaplains aren’t as iconic as Schmidt, who guides the Loyola Chicago Ramblers.
The final games of the NBA preseason were played this past week as the 2025-26 NBA season begins on Oct. 21. Over the past three weeks, fans have been able to see the new looks of different teams, including trades that were made over the summer and new free agent signings. Although preseason matches don’t count towards a team’s record, they can be a metric to predict for how teams will end up doing when the regular season starts.
On Monday, Oct. 29, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton shared with fans in an Instagram post that his beloved dog, Roscoe Hamilton, had passed away.
The first few weeks of the college football season have shown how even the playing field has become. We have seen historically powerful programs like the University of Notre Dame and Clemson University finding themselves with losing records. Meanwhile, more obscure football schools like the University of North Texas and the United States Naval Academy are in the conversation to be among the top 25 teams nationally. The athletes themselves are also more evenly matched; there aren’t any runaway favorites for the John Heisman award, given to the top player in college football. In recent history, the award has been given almost exclusively to quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. That trend will seemingly continue this year, although nobody has truly separated themselves from the pack through five weeks of action. Who are the true contenders for the award and what makes this year so different?
With the NBA 2025-26 season just around the corner, fans and analysts alike are beginning to guess how the season will play out. At the top of all predictions and debates are speculations about the two most coveted achievements a player can receive: the NBA MVP award and a championship ring.
