With forecasts calling for rain this weekend, could that jumble the field in Montreal?
Formula 1 fans hoping for some different results at the top of the field have been left disappointed so far this season. Red Bull has won every single race, with Max Verstappen leading the way with five victories in seven races, followed by teammate Sergio Pérez with a pair of wins.
Fans hoping to see something different this weekend might just get what they are looking for.
Thanks to the weather.
I know a bunch of college football fans are sitting around and deciding if their favorite team has enough talent to cover first game spreads. The fact is, football season never ends, there’s always something to think about. And thanks to Circa Sports, the early betting lines are set.
There are a number of intriguing games that will go down in week zero and week one of the season, led by LSU-Florida State and Florida-Utah. I think it’s pretty obvious that the Tigers and Seminoles will be a must-watch contest in Orlando on Labor Day weekend.
Dustin Johnson began his second round at the U.S. Open on Friday morning in a tie for third just two shots back of the lead. Two holes into his second round he was all of a sudden in a tie for 14th and six shots back.

Dustin Johnson, the two-time major champion, posted an opening round 64 at the 123rd U.S. Open, joining Tiger Woods with an unreal stat.
Dustin Johnson is familiar with being near the top of a leaderboard in major championships. That’s where he finds himself yet again after firing an opening round 64 Thursday at the 123rd U.S. Open.
The Los Angeles Country Club, hosting this tournament for the first time, is a par-70 course. So he carded a 6-under and somehow was still two shots back of the lead.
After the NBA suspended Ja Morant 25 games for holding a gun on an Instagram Live stream, the Grizzlies point guard released a statement accepting his punishment.
“I’ve had time to reflect and I realize how much hurt I’ve caused,” Morant said in the statement. “I want to apologize to the NBA, the Grizzlies, my teammates and the city of Memphis. To Adam Silver, Zach Kleiman and Robert Pera – who gave me the opportunity to be a professional athlete and have supported me – I’m sorry for the harm that I’ve done.
The early bird gets the worm. And in this case, the early bird is an Oral Roberts Golden Eagle.
The ORU baseball team has an interesting rewards system that went viral during the team’s Super Regional win over the Oregon Ducks. When a player successfully gets on base, first base coach Jimmy Turk feeds him a gummy worm.

However, in an attempt to avoid overshadowing the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat, Adam Silver and the league front office wanted to wait until after the Finals (and the celebratory parade) were concluded before announcing his punishment.
The NBA has suspended Grizzlies star Ja Morant for 25 games to start the 2023-2024 season due to his ‘reckless and irresponsible behavior with guns.
