Ferrari’s brutal Australian Grand Prix will remain so after FIA denies their appeal of Carlos Sainz Jr.’s penalty
Just when it looked like there was a glimmer of hope that Ferrari would be able to salvage something from a brutal Australian Grand Prix, the FIA stepped in and closed the door on that idea.
Ferrari appealed a five-second penalty handed down by race officials to driver Carlos Sainz Jr. after a collision between Sainz and Fernando Alonso late in the race.

Plus: Nets start strong again and can’t finish again
Sixers pull away late for second straight game, take 2-0 lead with 96-84 win
The first 30 minutes were extremely back-and-forth; a six-point Brooklyn lead turned into a four-point Philly lead which turned into a 10-point Brooklyn lead which turned into an eight-point Philly lead. So to recap, that makes a 10-point swing, 14-point swing, and 18-point swing all in the first two-and-a-half quarters.
The latest NFL mock draft from FanNation has running back Bijan Robinson heading to Detroit. With two first-round picks, the Lions certainly could have the luxury.
At first glance, I hated this. I wanted to see the NFL draft’s top-ranked RB prospect land with the Bengals, Cowboys or Bills, places in which he could immediately make a fantasy impact. Most drafts now have him going to the Los Angeles Chargers, where there are questions as to the future of Austin Ekeler.
But, after some further reflection, maybe I do like Robinson to the Lions.
I’m on spring break with the family, sunburned and overrun by elementary schoolers (and preschools). But there’s no time to take a break from the NFL, so let’s go …
• The first thing I thought looking at the numbers of the Jalen Hurts deal—it was smart of the Eagles to get it done now, expensive as it might’ve been, and smart of Hurts to take the life-changing windfall that Philadelphia offered him.
Will Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert outpace this deal within a few months? Probably.
Are the Eagles assuming risk, after extending Carson Wentz after his third year? Sure.
A transgender female basketball player – born a biological male – has been ruled ineligible to compete in the WNBL1 South women’s semi-professional league in Australia. The ruling comes just a month after former NBA player Andrew Bogut brought the proposal from the trans player to the forefront.
Basketball Australia, the governing body for basketball in the country, ruled Lexi Rodgers ineligible to compete for the Kilsyth Cobras.
The defending NBA champion Warriors lost Game 2 to the Kings on Monday night to fall behind 0–2 in their first-round playoff series.
The loss came with a controversial moment midway through the fourth quarter that led to Draymond Green being ejected and could possibly lead to another bigger punishment from the league for Green, who has been suspended from a playoff game before.
Green stomped on Domantas Sabonis‘s chest after the Kings’ forward fell to the ground in the paint. The refs gave Green a flagrant 2 foul and kicked him out of the game.
Arkansas is apparently incredibly proud of last season.
The Razorbacks finished the regular season 6-6 and beat 6-6 Kansas in the Liberty Bowl to close out the year 7-6.
It was by all metrics and measurements a very average year. By definition, when you’re around .500, you’re average. In America, being mediocre doesn’t generally get rewarded.
Well, that is unless you’re a member of the 2022 Arkansas Razorbacks team.
Arkansas unveils rings for winning the Liberty Bowl.
The Razorbacks aren’t just happy with going 7-6, but are so happy the team will get rings for beating a .
The Deion Sanders effect is in full-swing at Colorado as the Buffaloes prepare for their spring game. Thanks to the new head coach, the school has broken a 27-year streak in regards to football.
Colorado officials announced Monday that for the first time since 1996, the school has sold-out all of its season tickets. The college football world has been glued to what is happening in Boulder ever since Deion Sanders accepted the head coaching position.
Micah Parsons feels the same way about taxes as just about everyone else:
He hates it.
The Dallas Cowboys linebacker is currently on a four-year rookie deal valued at just over $17 million after being the 12th overall pick in 2021.
While he lives in a state with no state income tax, you know Uncle Sam will happily come take a bite of his 2022 earnings, which was just under $1.5 million in contract earnings.
Paying taxes has apparently lit a fire under Parsons‘ butt. Once you realize how much money you’re losing, you quickly realize you need to make more.
Chris Smith, who spent eight seasons in the NFL, has died at the age of 31. His alma mater of West Rowan High School in North Carolina shared the news on Twitter late Monday night.
