Abby’s Angle: Myles Garrett doesn’t deserve sympathy

Myles Garrett’s disappointment with the Cleveland Browns’ losing season feels unfair because he wasted a chance at a championship in favor of a massive contract after re-signing with the Browns in March. Fans shouldn’t sympathize with him after he chose money over winning.

Adam's Anecdote: Leave it to Leavitt for media mishandling

Karoline Leavitt has had various negative encounters with the press. She has called people “terrorists” and “violent criminals” simply for being in the opposite political party from her. Understanding this rhetoric she has used for these encounters is essential in grasping the structure of the Trump administration.

Layla’s Lens: Halloween guest registration rips off residents

Ohio University takes pride in its affordability but may not practice what it preaches when it comes to its notorious Halloween celebration.

David's Thoughts: History isn't a series of 'great men'

As we consume historical media such as biopics and engage with history, we must engage with these things at a critical level to not romanticize or glorify history.

Adam's Anecdote: Politics are heating up and boiling over

The U.S. is famously known for the intersecting ideas and culture promoted by our diverse society. However, we have slowly seen an increase in religion residing in democracy. Understanding what it means to reside in an authoritarian nation is necessary in order to stray away from this possible future.

Jack of All Takes: OKC will be dethroned this NBA season

Talent in the National Basketball Association is at an all-time high, and I think surprises will come from all angles in the 2025-26 season. The Oklahoma City Thunder could repeat as champions, but do not count out the Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets or Cleveland Cavaliers.

Abby’s Angle: The NFL must protect players from themselves

The NFL has allowed Guardian Caps to be worn during games to reduce concussions. Yet the majority of players refuse to wear them, prioritizing appearance over safety. With the long-term effects of head injuries as prevalent as ever, the NFL must step in and make Guardian Caps mandatory to protect athletes from their own vanity.
