Newton’s Impending Farewell
The internet will tell you Barry Bonds retired in 2007, when he last played a game. But there was that moment in 2008 when he proclaimed to the baseball world, “I’m not retired”. Unfortunately for Bonds, baseball had already determined otherwise. A classic example of the game being done with you before you are done with the game. Something we see often, most notably the black quarterback. It seems we only hear about black quarterbacks retiring years after the phone stops ringing. Similar to the line from the old G.I. Joe cartoon I watched as a kid, they don’t retire, they just fade away. See Kordell Stewart, whose retirement came seven years after his final game. See Aaron Brooks, Michael Vick, Daunte Culpepper, Byron Leftwich, David Garrard, and even Colin Kaepernick. How is it that the same athletes that changed the way the position has been played and added so much entertainment value to the sport always seem to have their careers end so quietly and uneventful?

Hayley Manners - New Place: UCF - Old Place: Central Michigan Leaving the cold of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, Hayley Manners, a native of another frigid city Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, will compete for UCF in sunny Orlando, Florida. The 2022 long jump indoor champ of the Mid-American Conference, Manners collected an amount of medals that most jumpers during her stint in the conference wish they could have. She claimed her first in a silver medal winning result at the 2021 Mid-American Conference Indoor Championships in the long jump. After winning gold in 2022, she recorded another silver medal win at the 2023 indoor conference meet. The Canadian wrapped up her career at Central Michigan with a long jump bronze medal at last season's outdoor Mid-American Conference meet, to go along with top five finishes in the triple jump and 400-meter relay. Her final meet as a Chippawa was her first regional performance as she competed in the long jump at the East First Round.

The Cosmic Dilemma
In the distant reaches of the universe, on a planet eerily similar to our own, a remarkable dilemma has befallen its inhabitants. Their lives, their very cognition, hinge on a mysterious element known as Nuronium, found in their atmosphere. Unlike humans, these beings require Nuronium for their cognitive faculties. Without it, imagination and reflective thought slip away, and over time, even long-term memories fade into oblivion. While it's a fragile existence, Nuronium also offers a boundless source of clean energy, powering their civilization for millennia.
