NASCAR implemented a new car ahead of the 2022 season that was initially touted as a way for teams to save money.
Frank Reich wasn’t the first and won’t be the last NFL coach fired because of the 2023 season.
The fact is, practically every season ends with a handful of coaches and their assistants being fired/relieved or replaced in some form or fashion. This season will be no different.

So, yes, it could get bloody.
Welcome back to the Power Rankings. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did.

Let’s get right down to business, as there’s a lot to catch up on.

The numbers say what Russell Wilson could not, projecting confidence and aptitude amid a resurgence many predicted he’d never embark upon. In his second season with the Broncos, Wilson’s completion percentage is up almost 8%; his yards per attempt is down; his touchdown tally has already eclipsed last season’s total; and his interception rate hovers close to his career low.

Diving into the schedule and more for the 2024 F1 season
The curtain fell on the 2023 Formula 1 season Sunday at Yas Marina, with the year-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. While that race ended like so many others this season — with Max Verstappen standing on the tallest podium following the checkered flag falling — many F1 fans are coming to grips with a quiet grid now, with the season over.
If you fall into that category, fear not!
Because in less than 100 days it all gets rolling again.

Monday night’s NFC North rivalry game between the Bears and Vikings was, in a word, ugly. Chicago got the win, 12-10, but it was an absolutely painful three hours of television that showcased some really bad football in yet another dreadful NFL primetime game this season.

Utah State QB Levi Williams is trading college football for the cold water and sand that comes with being a Navy SEAL.
Williams led the Aggies to a 44-41 win over New Mexico in his first start of the season last week. His five-touchdown performance made Utah State bowl eligible, which is always a huge accomplishment for smaller programs.
However, he doesn’t have much interest in coming back for another season of college football in 2024. Instead, he’ll be leaving football behind him as he pursues becoming a Navy SEAL, according to KSL Sports.
