Formula 1 makes its first visit to the United States of the 2025 season this weekend, and there’s going to be a lot of attention on a team that won’t even be competing until next season.
Cadillac — which is slated to join the grid in 2026 as F1’s 11th team — will be in town for a special event in which they’re expected to unveil the livery that it’ll be using for the inaugural season.

We’ve got several teams like the Bruins and Rangers, who, just one year removed from being serious Cup contenders, look to be on the verge of blowing up the farm after cutting bait with their head coaches.
Meanwhile, a couple of teams that are fighting to become contenders once again are also looking for new bench bosses.

Rodriguez at West Virginia and Frost at UCF are the only new coaches in the 16-team Big 12, and now have been through their first spring since getting back to their old schools.

The NHL struck gold with its 4 Nations All-Star Face-Off this year, reigniting fan excitement, while the NBA’s All-Star events have faded into irrelevance. 
The NHL’s 4 Nations Tournament Championship delivered a massive ratings win, with ESPN’s broadcast pulling in 9.3 million U.S. viewers — the most-watched non-Olympic hockey game ever, as reported on OutKick. 
Adding Canadian viewership, the total soared to 16.1 million, nearly rivaling Game 7 of last year’s Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers, as OutKick’s Matt Reigle noted.

Dusty May has done an exemplary job attracting top talent to Ann Arbor in just over a year’s time, whether it be through the transfer portal or recruiting process. In short order last year, he built a team that made the Sweet 16 after being the worst team in the Big Ten, and then capitalized by signing a five-star and two four-stars in 2025.
May is reloading again in the portal, with the big fish being former UAB forward Yaxel Lendeborg — if the Wolverines can keep him from going to the NBA draft.

The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books, and by all metrics, general manager Andrew Berry and the Cleveland Browns’ week was a success.
After weeks of projecting that the Browns would take a quarterback at No. 2, and then shifting that to Travis Hunter after Shedeur Sanders’ stock fell, Berry and the Browns pulled a fast one on us and the rest of the league – except the Jags.
Trading the No. 2 pick to Jacksonville earned the Browns more draft capital, important capital for building for the future.
