93rd Aquinas Mission Bouts
By Stacey Collier II
ROCHESTER, NY – On March 7th, 2025, the 93rd Aquinas Mission Bouts boxing event took place at the Aquinas Institute in Rochester, New York. The event featured a total of seven bouts, a presentation of donations to the Parkinson’s Foundation, and an awards ceremony at the end to crown the best fighters of the night. The fighters included both girls and boys, ranging from grades 7-12.
Historic Overview
The Aquinas Mission Bouts began in 1932 and is held every March. The Aquinas community each year gathers in the Wegman-Napier gym to watch students, who are amateur boxers, showcase their skills in a three-round bout. Currently, the program is led by boxing coach Dom Arioli, who has dedicated his time and teachings to the program for 45 years. Coach Arioli is also the owner of ROC Boxing & Fitness and a member of the Aquinas Institute Hall of Fame. His impact has drawn in the community and the likes of legendary heavyweight boxer, Muhammad Ali.
Coach Interviews
Coach Arioli recalled the time he met Ali in Rochester in 1994. He said at dinner; Ali grabbed him by his collar and lifted him up. Then, Ali smiled at him and asked if he was the coach. After Coach Arioli said yes, Ali told him “Don’t screw it up”. That moment stuck with him throughout his career. When training fighters, Coach Arioli stated he wants them to be good people in the world and treat others with respect, along with working hard. As the Mission Bouts event approaches 100 years, Coach Arioli is optimistic the program can continue to be successful and hopes to attract more fighters. With concussions and other long-term health problems being a public concern, he wants everyone to know he prioritizes safety first and he welcomes anyone who wants to be a part of the program.
Coach Katia Chaban, also known as Coach Kat, was the scorekeeper of the event. She has been a part of the Aquinas Boxing Program for 17 years. As a former boxer, she was inspired by Coach Dom’s dedication to the program. She was introduced to Coach Dom while working as an amateur official. She went to practice and fell in love with Coach Dom’s regimen. Coach Kat says he is an incredible human being. Also, she cites community and a family environment as the source of the power of the boxing program. Many of the audience members were involved in the program as boxers and are related to the fighters who participated in this year’s event. She stated no other known tradition in the country has the longevity of Aquinas Mission Bouts Boxing.

Newhouse Esports Update, Episode 18
In this episode of Newhouse Esports Update, the words of the day are words in esports broadcasting! Just like traditional sports, there are common acronyms and slang terms for video game lingo and terminology. Just like calling a shallow pop-out in baseball a “can of corn” or getting a first down in football “moving the chains,” there are phrases and terms in esports that are commonly used in broadcast and casual conversation. It is important to know the origin and definition of these words so new fans can understand more of what is happening in an esports production.
Stay tuned for some more special content in the final episodes of the Spring 2023 semester and the inaugural year of Newhouse Esports Update!
Newhouse Esports Update, Episode 17
In this special episode of Newhouse Esports Update, we go on location to Boston, Massachusetts to PAX East 2023. PAX East is a yearly convention where various aspects of gaming and nerd culture convene to showcase new products, hold panels for discussion, and attend live events for any and all interests. It is a fascinating four-day event where people with common interests can come together to discuss their favorite video and tabletop games, share their love for nerd culture, and engage with leaders and creators in the industry. From game developers to cosplay artists, PAX East is a unique and wild event, one that you have to see to believe!
Newhouse Esports Update, Episode 16
After a spring break hiatus, Newhouse Esports Update is back with an all new episode on the widely popular single player aspect of esports: speedrunning! Speedrunning is as simple as completing a game as fast as possible, but the history and methods of the community are deep and fascinating. From optimized routes and movement to game-altering glitches that manipulate the inner code of the game, speedrunners have taken just about every classic single player game and broken it beyond what many people thought was possible.
Next week, get ready for a special episode of Newhouse Esports Update, where we will take you to PAX East, a video game convention in Boston, Massachusetts.

Newhouse Esports Update, Episode 15
In Episode 15 of Newhouse Esports Update, we talk about one of the biggest announcements for esports in a long time: the Olympics Esports Series! Coming in June of 2023, people will compete in video game versions of the most popular worldwide sports in the first ever Olympic level esports event.
Though many took to Twitter and criticized the Olympics’ decision to introduce esports with games that few people play on a competitive level and without the most popular titles, this is actually the best step the Olympics can make to introduce esports to a larger audience. Andrew is here to break down the decision and explain why this announcement will bring esports to an even greater scene than ever before!
Newhouse Esports Update, Episode 14
In Episode 14 of Newhouse Esports Update, Andrew talks about the niche genre of strategy games, games that require more planning and critical thinking than mechanical skill. Games like Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra are centered around decks of cards, not unlike the wildly popular card game Magic: The Gathering. Creating compositions and setups with hundreds of options and adapting on the fly is key in strategy games, and the esports community surrounding them is small but passionate.
With most of the major genres explained, more diverse content is soon to come to Newhouse Esports Update. Stay tuned for next week!
Newhouse Esports Update, Episode 13
In Episode 13 of Newhouse Esports Update, we look at the familiar world of sports games, a genre that has released hundreds of titles over the decades. Getting its start in arcades with Pong and Punch-Out, sports games have become a staple in casual and competitive play, with yearly releases and new features being added to everyone’s favorite sports and teams. The ability to play and control your favorite athletes or teams is appealing to so many sports fans, so it is no wonder that the esports community has run with sports games and popularized them even more.

Super Bowl Week Rolls On!
Super Bowl and World Series Run Puts Philadelphia in Elite Company
Super Bowl LVII will be played in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, but the two cities with the most skin in the game are Kansas City and Philadelphia.
Philadelphia has had quite the last few months. The Phillies made the World Series, and in the same season, the Eagles find themselves playing in the big game.
How many times has this happened before? Newhouse Sports Media Center reporter Cameron Ezeir found out every other year the feat was achieved.
In Super Bowl V in 1971, the Baltimore Colts were victorious the same year the Baltimore Orioles won the World Series. Fourteen years later in 1984, the Baltimore Colts became the Indianapolis Colts.
Super Bowl XIV in 1980 saw the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Dallas Cowboys. Completing the double championship for the Steel City, the Pittsburgh Pirates won the 1979 World Series. For the Steelers, Super Bowl XIV was its fourth championship in the last six years, and for the NFL, it was only the second ever Super Bowl to eclipse more than 100,000 fans in attendance.
Just one year later, the Eagles and Phillies made their respective championship games. In Super Bowl XV, the Eagles lost to the Oakland Raiders, but the Phillies did win the World Series.
Fast forward to 1986 and “New York, New York” chants ensued as the New York Giants and Mets both made their title games. The Giants beat the Broncos in Super Bowl XXI and the Mets beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series to cap off an impressive New York stretch.
Skip ahead fourteen years and the Super Bowl found its way to Florida. In Super Bowl XXXV in 2001, the Giants were downed by the Baltimore Ravens in Tampa. On the diamond, a memorable Subway Series World Series between the crosstown Yankees and Mets took place, with the Yankees winning it all in 2000.
Perhaps feeling left out seeing other Northeast cities achieve the feat, Massachusetts decided to join the party with help from Tom Brady and David Ortiz. Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005 resulted in a three point win for the New England Patriots, and the Red Sox swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 World Series. The championships were Brady’s third and Big Papi’s first.
Two more city success stories happened in the 2010s. 2012 was the Golden Gate year, where the San Francisco 49ers lost the Harbaugh bowl to the Ravens in Super Bowl XLVIII, but the San Francisco Giants conquered the baseball mountaintop, sweeping the Detroit Tigers.
In 2018, another New England Boston championship tandem had America debating where in the country “Titletown” really is. The Patriots capped off a championship season defeating the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII in early 2019, and the 2018 World Series saw the Red Sox defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers. A two for one special with the City of Angels losing twice.
That leaves us with Super Bowl LVII this year. The Phillies already lost the 2022 World Series to the Houston Astros, but the Eagles will see if they can achieve some redemption when they take the field against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Frank Clark’s Journey to Becoming an Elite Pass Rusher
Kansas City Chiefs star defensive end Frank Clark is one of the best pass rushers in the National Football League, but many people don’t know he started his career in a two-point stance.
Clark started off playing safety in high school, and then his coach, Ted Ginn Sr., told him to put his hand in the dirt and start playing defensive end.
After high school, Clark went to the University of Michigan, added 60 pounds while not losing any of his speed and proceeded to dominate college football.
“I grew up like an Ed Reed fan, Sean Taylor, you know what I mean,” Clark said. “In my mind, I’m not playing no d-line. I wasn’t big enough either. I was only like 200 pounds coming out of high school, so I ain’t have like true d-line dreams, you know what I’m saying.”
Clark said plenty of mentors helped mold him into the player he is today.
“Trusting my training; man I had some great trainers,” Clark said. “Coach Aaron Wellman at the time at the University of Michigan. He was a hell of a trainer.”
“I just stuck with his program,” Clark said. “I had to trust him. I was playing Big Ten Football. At the end of the day, when you’re playing Big Ten Football, you can’t play Big Ten Football at 225 as a defensive end. You have to play Big Ten Football with a little bit of weight in your behind.”
After a long run of dominance and terror in the Big Ten, Clark was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent a couple of years in Seattle, but things didn’t necessarily work out, so he was traded to Kansas City and Chiefs Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said Clark was an immediate impact for the organization.
“Frank is one of those competitive guys even in practice,” Spagnuolo said. “He’ll challenge guys. I think he made our offensive line better because he would practice and challenge people. He continues to do that.”
Spagnuolo said he had heard Clark wanted to play in the defensive backfield.
“He tells me that all the time,” Spagnuolo said. “He wants to go back there and play safety now, probably.”
Clark is no stranger to the big games and the big moments. In Super Bowl LIV in Miami in 2020, “The Shark” had the game-clinching sack against the San Francisco 49ers to seal the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the Chiefs.
Now, Clark has another chance to do the same thing three years later at Super Bowl LVII in Phoenix. He’s already got two and a half sacks this postseason, so there’s a good chance he could make another impact in the big game this weekend.
Super Bowl Opening Night Returns with a Bang
Super Bowl Opening Night offers an incredible opportunity for fans and media members to see the players and coaches of both participating teams under one roof.
For Super Bowl LVII, Super Bowl Opening Night presented by Fast Twitch was held at the Footprint Center, the home of the Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Mercury.
Our entire Newhouse Sports Media Center Super Bowl team attended the event, and Newhouse Sports Media Center reporter Johnny Gadamowitz had three memorable interviews with three Philadelphia Eagles Players.
Gadamowitz spoke with defensive tackle Linval Joseph about his bench press numbers, tight end Dallas Goedert about the meaning behind his name, and punter Brett Kern about his go to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que order.

Newhouse Sports Media Center Conducts Exclusive Interview with Kevin Burkhardt
FOX Sports lead NFL voice Kevin Burkhardt is calling his first ever Super Bowl this weekend between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
After the conclusion of the FOX Sports Media Day, Burkhardt took a few minutes to speak with Newhouse Sports Media Center reporter Johnny Gadamowitz.
Burkhardt said the moment he found out he was going to be on the call for a Super Bowl was nothing short of magic.
“It was wow, really me, that type of emotion,” Burkhardt said. “It was as you’d imagine, joy. I was a bit taken aback. We all get into this industry hoping to get lucky and be a part of some of the biggest events, and I’ve been fortunate to be a part of a lot of great events.”
“So when that call comes, it’s so hard to comprehend how special it is,” Burkhardt said. “I’m starting to comprehend it now because you’re here this week and all the fanfare that goes around this game is pretty cool. So I’m just trying to sleep. I’m so excited.”
In the past twenty years, only three individuals have called the national telecast of the Super Bowl, those being Jim Nantz, Al Michaels and Joe Buck. Burkhardt said he realizes the magnitude of the opportunity.
“It’s a true honor to be on that list,” Burkhardt said. “There’s been eleven play-by-play guys who have called the Super Bowl. It’s something that not many people in the world have had an opportunity to do, so I don’t take that lightly.”
“I can’t wait; I’m gonna to try to sleep Saturday night, but I’m just gonna enjoy it and really just have fun with it,” Burkhardt said. “It’s the only way I know how to do it.”
Reflecting back on his SNY days, Burkhardt said he learned a ton about himself as a field reporter for the New York Mets.
“First of all, I love all those guys,” Burkhardt said. “They were all helpful in mentoring me as a relatively new TV guy at the time.”
Burkhardt said he also learned he doesn’t have to be flawless on every call.
“I think it’s just live TV,” Burkhardt said. “It’s on your feet. I think sometimes people expect it to be perfect. You’re coming out of school; you’re looking for your first job; you’re gonna make mistakes. And everyone is gonna make mistakes.”
“The reality is you just don’t compound [mistakes],” Burkhardt said. “You move forward, you learn from those mistakes, and when you’re on the air for three hours straight, I guarantee you something is gonna slip out that I didn’t love or maybe I say something that wasn’t totally correct. You can’t let it eat you.”
Burkhardt said his SNY days ultimately prepared him for the unpredictability of the job.
“With those guys, what I learned is first of all, anything goes, because literally anything goes,” Burkhardt said. “And then it’s just being on your feet and being able to adapt. Being flexible on the air I think is so big. Just be you. Be loose. Have fun. Just pretend that camera is not even there. If you can do that, I think it’s a big part of what I took away from those guys.”

NFL Combine Drills Among Many Attractions at Super Bowl LVII Experience
Super Bowl week brings NFL fans from around the country into one city to celebrate America’s largest sporting spectacle.
This February, fans of all 32 teams have flocked to Phoenix, Arizona to catch a glimpse of the players, the pageantry and the media frenzy.
In an effort to create lifelong memories for fans, the NFL typically puts on a Super Bowl Experience.
This year, one of the two Super Bowl LVII Experiences Presented by Lowes’ is located at the Phoenix Convention Center. Boasting an enormous number of exhibits, interactive games and photo opportunities, the Super Bowl Experience allows fans to dream big and put themselves in the shoes of NFL players.
Some of the interactive games that caught the attention of our Newhouse Sports Media Center reporters were the drills aspiring NFL players participate in at the NFL Combine.
Turning everything into a competition, Newhouse Sports Media Center reporters John Eads and Nick Zelaya challenged each other to a bench press, vertical jump and 40-yard dash contest to see how they measured compared to the NFL’s all-time combine greats.
The NFL Combine bench press record was set by East Kentucky Defensive Tackle Justin Ernest, who put up a jaw-dropping 51 reps at the 1999 NFL Combine.
Showcasing insane hops, North Carolina Safety Gerald Sensabaugh set the combine vertical jump record by leaping 46 inches in 2005.
And just a few years ago at the 2017 NFL Combine, John Ross put the league on notice with a 4.22 40-yard dash, the quickest in combine history.
To see if Eads or Zelaya recorded any measurables close to these combine records, watch the video at the top of the page.
Super Bowl LVII Presents Unique Coaching Matchup
In many ways, the story of Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles began all the way back in 2013.
That year, the Eagles let go of their coach, Andy Reid, after a 4-12 season. From there, the Chiefs scooped Reid up, and that meant Reid wanted to start his staff from the ground up, which included getting rid of the then 31-year-old wide receivers coach, Nick Sirianni.
Fast forward ten years later, and the two now meet for all the marbles in the Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona.
Although it was never quite a master and apprentice relationship, since their time at Arrowhead never overlapped, Sirianni said he is fully ready to make a name for himself just like Reid has already done.
“I just feel like Sirianni on offense has done a really good job of putting his players in a position to succeed,” NBC Sports Analyst Matthew Berry said. “Using them to their best skill set. He’s like, we’ve got a great offensive line, we’ve got multiple running backs, so let’s figure out ways to run creatively.”
ESPN Play-by-Play Commentator Mike Couzens said both coaches are beamingly confident.
“[They’re] guys who are sure of who they are as coaches and they’re not trying to put on a front or be this or be that,” Couzens said.
Super Bowl LVII now presents an opportunity for Eagles coach Nick Sirianni to do something Reid never did, which is bring a championship home to the City of Brotherly Love.
The only thing standing in his way is the man trying to become just the fourteenth coach ever to win multiple Super Bowls, Andy Reid.
Does Phoenix Know the History of the Super Bowl in Arizona?
SuperBowl LVII marks the fourth time the big game will be played in Arizona.The Grand Canyon State hosted its first Super Bowl way back in 1996. In Super Bowl XXX, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe.
In 2006, State Farm Stadium in Glendale, the current home of the Arizona Cardinals, opened, and it did not take long for the venue to host its first Super Bowl.
Super Bowl XLII in 2008 saw the New York Giants hand the New England Patriots their first and only loss of the season, thanks in part to an unforgettable catch from former Syracuse Football wide receiver David Tyree.
And in another memorable game, Super Bowl XLIX, Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson at the goal line to secure some New England Patriots redemption in Arizona’s third Super Bowl.
Newhouse Sports Media Center reporter John Eads hit the streets of Downtown Phoenix to find out how well the capital city city knows the history of the Super Bowl in Arizona.

Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee Welcomes Football to the Desert
Both teams landed in the desert on Sunday afternoon, and the fun has already started. The Super Bowl Experience, thousands of media members at the Phoenix Convention Center and plenty of attractions across the city are in place to make this Arizona’s most memorable Super Bowl yet.
The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee said they are really excited with the work they have put in to make this their best game so far.
“There’s been a lot of investment in our hospitality community, in our infrastructure, our public infrastructure, our roads, the airports, everything along those lines,” Arizona Cardinals Owner and President Michael Bidwill said. “In State Farm Stadium, over $200 million. We’ve been getting ready for this day and this week for a long, long time. So I couldn’t get more excited.”
“The game gets bigger and bigger each year,” Bidwill said. “It’s gonna be a lot bigger than it was in 2015. And so we’ve got a lot of new partners involved and it couldn’t be more exciting.”
Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee Executive Board Chair Larry Fitzgerald said going from playing in a Super Bowl to organizing a Super Bowl has changed his perspective.
“I remember vividly back to my time on the plane,” Fitzgerald said. “The bus is there. Takes you to the hotel. Your hotel room keys are available. You come down and eat. The food is prepared.”
“But now being in this position over the last year has been transformational for me because I got a chance to see how the sausage is made, how everyone is able to enjoy such an unbelievable game and the work that goes on behind the scenes.”
