During the 2025 NFL Draft, all eyes were on quarterback Shedeur Sanders who was selected in the fifth round after three suspenseful days.

The death of Pope Francis has brought a rise in viewership of last month's best picture nominee "Conclave," a drama that brings to the life the centuries-old ritual by which the Catholic church selects a new pope.
