For the second time this season, Max Verstappen will start on pole, this time for the Australian Grand Prix.
Still, don’t think that things were easy for a Red Bull Team that has dominated this season. That’s because it’ll be next to impossible for the Red Bulls to play the team game because Sergio Perez is at the complete ass end of the field in P20.
Perez’s Saturday was one of the worst he and the team have had in quite some time.

Late Friday night, the NBA and NBPA agreed to a new seven-year CBA, avoiding a potential lockout situation over the next year. There are many new aspects of the agreement, including an in-season tournament, limiting spending on high-payroll teams and changing the upper-limits of contract extensions.
While the deal ensures labor peace for the foreseeable future, one outspoken player believes the players should have drawn a harder line in the sand. Warriors forward Draymond Green expressed his displeasure with the union, believing that they lost the negotiation.
“Players lose again….
HOUSTON – Those damn women. They’re taking over everything.
The late, great South Carolina sports columnist Ken Burger once said, “I love women. And I love basketball. But I don’t like women’s basketball.”
I wish he would have been alive to see the NCAA women’s Final Four open Friday night in Dallas – 239 miles north of here on Interstate 45. Big D may have let H-Town know yet again that it’s still No. 1, and with dueling Final Fours, too.
The women are dominating Dallas. And the men are trying to keep everybody awake in Houston.
Fox’s Major League Baseball coverage is set for quite the shakeup.
Hall of Fame slugger Frank Thomas is reportedly out at the network after 10 years as an analyst for Fox’s pregame baseball coverage. Fox hired Hall of Fame shortstop Derek Jeter after he left the Marlins’ front office and the former Yankees shortstop will now take Thomas’s place.
The news of Thomas being let go from Fox’s pregame baseball coverage was first reported by Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
Things got heated late in a Celtics blowout of the Bucks.
The NBA announced Saturday that Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo has been suspended for one game for headbutting Celtics forward Blake Griffin in a game on Thursday night. He will serve the suspension in the Bucks’ game against the 76ers on Sunday.
Late in Boston’s win over Milwaukee, Griffin fouled Antetokounmpo hard on a fastbreak, and Antetokounmpo reacted by headbutting Griffin after the whistle, resulting in a scrum. After the two teams were separated, Griffin received a flagrant foul while Antetokounmpo was ejected from the game.
Few athletes in America currently carry the cache of Iowa guard Caitlin Clark, now a 40-point scorer in both the Elite Eight and the Final Four. And few musicians in America currently carry the cache of Taylor Swift, headliner of a much-hyped tour behind 2022’s hit Midnights.
It almost makes sense that their paths would cross.
Cody Rhodes’s career has been defined by betting on himself to do the improbable. At WrestleMania 39, he’s poised for his biggest cash-in yet.
Rhodes will attempt to win the undisputed WWE universal championship when he challenges Roman Reigns in the main event of Night 2 of WWE’s signature event at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., this Sunday.
When he returned to WWE one year ago, Rhodes made it clear he was on a mission to fulfill his family’s destiny. He was back in WWE to do the one thing that his legendary father Dusty Rhodes was never able to do: become WWE world champion.
Veteran NFL running back Phillip Lindsay is signing with the Seattle Sea Dragons of the XFL, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowl running back has bounced around a bit since his back-to-back 1,000+ yard seasons in 2018 and ’19 with the Broncos.
Lindsay played for Houston and Miami in 2021 and with the Colts last season, but failed to make a significant impact in either stop. Lindsay has rushed for just 298 total yards and one touchdown over the last two years, and will now latch onto a role in the XFL to try to revive his professional prospects.
This week, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced its class of 2023, which includes Heat legend Dwyane Wade. The former shooting guard became the first player drafted by Miami to receive the honor, and the latest member to get in on the first ballot and to be voted in unanimously.
Wade posted a video on Twitter of Hall of Fame chairman Jerry Colangelo calling him to deliver the news, and Wade expressed how excited he was about the moment to both the viewers and to his family.
“That’s the call that I’ve watched people get for a long time,” he said.
