Insurance is an industry that is not only cutthroat, but also so remarkably boring. With that in mind, it is no surprise that companies that deal in it would feel an obligation to lighten their image with a spot of family-friendly humor.

Roughly since 2020, I’ve seen a decline in the quality of the insurance industry’s advertising. GEICO has in recent times elected to rely more on their significantly less funny British gecko instead of their previous creative variation in stories and humor. Progressive is nearing two decades of trying and failing to convince us that the adventures of Flo and her gang are in fact funny.

Most tragically, State Farm passed up their khakis-donning working class Jake in favor of an incredibly generically handsome younger package in order to milk the nostalgia that said khakis-donning working class everyman gave us all those years ago. If that is not a perfect allegory for the modern western class struggle, I don’t know what is.

And don’t even get me started on LiMu Emu.

As the 2026 NFL draft unfolded, four Arizona Wildcats heard their names called, led by defensive back Treydan Stukes, highlighting the program’s growing footprint in the NFL. Although it’s the first time in three years that a Wildcat wasn’t selected in the first round, the program’s professional pipeline isn’t slowing down as more players chase the opportunity to hear their name called on draft night.

Genesis Smith, Dalton Johnson and Michael Dansby joined fellow defensive back Stukes among Arizona players selected in this year’s draft. The University of Arizona tied an NFL Draft record in 2026 by having four defensive backs selected in a single draft. Arizona joined a rare group of schools to achieve this, those including LSU in 2020 and Ohio State in 2017.

The Wildcats were led by their defense, specifically the secondary, in the 2025 season, one of the top units in the nation that ranked 7th nationally in passing yards allowed per game (165.3) and 21st in scoring defense, allowing only 19.3 points per game. They boasted 28 total turnovers and held opponents to 308.5 total yards per game.
