“Bigger than the Music”: Examining Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show

By Emmanuel Rodriguez Kendrick Lamar performing during the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show on Feb. 9. Photo by Bob Kupbens, Icon Sportswire, Getty Images All eyes were on Kendrick Lamar on Feb. 9 with viewers tuning in to watch his much anticipated 2025 Superbowl LIX Halftime Show. Lamar, a Pulitzer Prize-winning artist, showed up and showed out with his prevalent symbolism, song choices and allusion to the daily experience of being Black in America throughout his performance. The Compton-born artist performed a variety of hits from his repertoire including “luther” featuring SZA, “Humble” from his album DAMN and his Billboard record-breaking hit “Not Like Us”.  The performance served as a love letter to Black America and a critique of the divided America we live in. Fans and sp...

Looking Back at the Road to LIX

Photo by Matt Slocum, Associated Press The NFL season has come to an end and the Super Bowl festivities have simmered down. This year was a rematch of Super Bowl LVII with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Philadelphia Eagles.   How did each team get there?            Since taking over in 2021, Eagles’ Head Coach Nick Sirianni achieved a record of 40-28. The Eagles have appeared in the playoffs each year under Sirianni's tenure. Philadelphia went 14-3, clinching the NFC East.  This was largely in part to quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley. Hurts had a wor...

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...

Opinion: A-Ma(ye)zing Grace

By Jackson Melin Drake Maye, photo by the New England Patriots  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 under...

Review: Borderlands Theaters’ Antigona 3.0

By Zoe Stover PCC's very own Professor Marc Pinate took the stage in Antigona 3.0! After a semester of Pinate giving me a taste of the performing arts in THE105, I was thrilled to see him direct and act in this production. Antigona 3.0 was a bold choice. The story’s target audience is not the casual theatre viewer. An extensive background knowledge of the original Greek story and Borderlands Theaters’ spin-off is required to fully enjoy the show. The actors do mention the themes of the original tale in the very beginning, but it’s not deep enough to understand the symbolism embedded within the play. It’s disguised as a comedy bit, so the message is easily missed. If you haven’t seen Sophocles’ Antigone AND Borderlands' Antigone at the Border, this show might not be for you, w...
