Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Max Verstappen won a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Still, it was McLaren that really got people’s attention.
But before we get to them, let’s talk about the winners. Verstappen — if you can believe this — had never won the British Grand Prix.
But wait, I thought he won at Silverstone in 2020.
He did, but that was the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix. Get it straight…
This year’s win was also the 11th straight win for Red Bull, which tied a Formula 1 record held by McLaren.

Years after a split between Nike and Deion Sanders, Nike confirmed a renewed partnership with the first-year Colorado football coach in an email to USA Today Sports.
“We welcome Deion Sanders back to the Nike family,” the company said in a statement sent to the publication.

The Rams have quarterback Matthew Stafford under contract through the 2026 season, but the team apparently considered parting ways with him earlier this offseason.
Such a move would’ve been surprising considering Stafford guided Los Angeles to victory in Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, but the Rams apparently wanted to avoid paying out $59 million in contract bonuses. Stafford signed a four-year, $160 million extension last offseason.
Gregg Popovich, who is on record saying many terrible things about the United States of America, signed a five-year extension with the San Antonio Spurs worth $80 million. That’s the richest contract ever granted to an NBA head coach.
Popovich attended the Air Force Academy and served five years in the United States Military. And, I thank him for that service. However, serving in the US Military does not grant someone a lifetime exemption for trash-talking America while still claiming to “love this country.

Dan Hooker won by unanimous decision over Jalin Turner on Saturday night at UFC 290 in Hooker’s first fight since November for his 13th UFC win. The fight was expected to take place earlier, but the 33-year-old suffered a hand injury during training, which delayed the fight by about four months.
In the victory, though, Hooker suffered another injury. After the fight, UFC commentator Joe Rogan asked Hooker if he broke his arm during the fight.
“It’s just a scratch. We’ll have to see,” Hooker said while laughing.
The Tigers logged the franchise’s first-ever combined no-hitter Saturday, thanks in no small part to starter Matt Manning’s 6 2/3 innings on the mound. The no-no was finished by relievers Jason Foley and Alex Lange, but apparently, Manning had no idea that he hadn’t allowed a hit prior to his exit.
“Honestly, I swear I had no idea,” Manning said after the 2–0 win over the Blue Jays, according to the Detroit Free Press. “After I had a scuffle in the first, I was just trying to eat up innings. We had a two-run lead, so I was trying to protect that lead.
