For years, the SEC sat on top of the college football world, but the Big Ten finally took over. The Indiana Hoosiers captured the National Championship behind quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who then became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mendoza is now headed to the Las Vegas Raiders, where he’ll team up with star tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty as the franchise looks to build its next contender.

Sam Darnold’s NFL journey came full circle after stops with the New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, and Seattle Seahawks. After years of development and adversity, Darnold helped lead Seattle to a Super Bowl title alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Kenneth Walker III, Rashid Shaheed, AJ Barner, and one of the league’s top defenses.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks finally ended their championship drought. Led by Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson, New York defeated Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals to claim the 2026 NBA Championship.

This post pokes fun at how unpredictable sports have become. If Indiana can win a title, Sam Darnold can become a Super Bowl champion, and the Knicks can win it all, then maybe anything is possible. Whether it’s landing your dream job, buying your mom a house, or finally messaging your crush, 2026 might just be the year to take your shot.
