Alpine driver Pierre Gasly remains ‘confident’ despite team’s slow start in 2025
One of the hottest teams down the closing stretch of the 2024 Formula 1 season? That was Alpine. After a slow start a year ago the Enstone-based operation rocketed up the standings in the closing weeks, climbing from the back of the grid to finish sixth in the 2024 Constructors’ Championship race.
However, that strong finish has yet to carry over to the 2025 campaign.

Well, he finally did it. Nearly five years later, Bubba Wallace has addressed the “noose” controversy that NASCAR nearly turned into a full-on race-war in the summer of 2020.
And by “noose,” I mean a … “a garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose.” Those are the FBI’s words – not mine. So, yeah. Not a noose! Not even close.
Unless you ask ESPN and the AP, of course. They still call it a noose. Not me. Not OutKick. Not the FBI.

Nell Fortner is stepping away from Georgia Tech after three NCAA Tournament appearances in six seasons. Here’s who could replace her.
Two months after signing a contract extension that would have kept her in midtown Atlanta through 2030, Georgia Tech head coach Nell Fortner announced her retirement on Monday after six seasons leading the Yellow Jackets.
Fortner, 66, was hired at Georgia Tech in 2019 to clean up the program after former coach MaChelle Joseph was fired amid a scandal.

It may look like a bit of a reach, but this pick fills a key need in making the Patriots offense competitive.
The New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel earlier this offseason to be their next head coach. Normally that comes with plenty of changes, but Robert Kraft continues to try and copy that same magic that worked under Bill Belichick by hiring another former Patriots player to lead the team.
This time around, it’s a coach with a wealth of experience and success in the NFL.

Cooper Flagg might be the best American-born basketball prospect since LeBron James entered the 2003 NBA Draft. That’s a bold claim to make against the likes of Anthony Davis at Kentucky, Zion Williamson at Duke, Greg Oden at Ohio State, and Derrick Rose at Memphis, but Flagg has put himself in that conversation during an electric freshman year.
Flagg has been the best player in college basketball this season despite being one of the youngest players in the sport.
Brooks Koepka has enjoyed tremendous success and earned an obscene amount of money since joining LIV Golf in 2022, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t recognize that the Saudi-backed league has quite a ways to go.
The 34-year-old reportedly signed a seven-figure contract to join LIV Golf three years ago and has won the most individual titles on the new circuit with five, three of which came via playoff victories.
In an interview with GQ Sports, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne revealed why her relationship with former Tigers pitcher Paul Skenes nearly derailed in the early stages.
“He wouldn’t follow me back on Instagram,” Dunne told GQ. “I was like, ‘who is this kid and why won’t he follow me back?’”
Skenes, who only recently started receiving more attention thanks to his young MLB career, rarely used his Instagram account at the time in early 2023. By August, the pair were officially together heading into their senior years in Baton Rouge.
UC Davis running back Lan Larison has gained a lot of attention as of late with an exceptional pro day performance earlier this week. The 6-foot, 215-pound do-it-all back reportedly raised some eyebrows in the New Orleans Saints organization as a potential day three selection in this year’s draft.
Putting together a clinic this week, Larison ran a 4.46-second 40 to go along with some impressive three-cone and short shuttle times. He also showed his explosiveness jumping 35.5 inches in the vertical, while landing a 10-foot broad jump.
