While Max Verstappen made F1 history Sunday, Toto Wolff wonders if anyone will ever know about the accomplishment
You can see Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff in several places, such as Harvard Business School, the Netflix series Drive to Survive, and of course, in the garage calling the shots for the Formula 1 team.
But do not expect to see him in any advertisements for Wikipedia anytime soon.

Team USA ran into a roadblock following an undefeated stretch to start the 2023 FIBA World Cup. During a second-round matchup with Lithuania, Steve Kerr’s squad fell 110-104, failing to climb out of a 31-12 hole following one quarter of play.
The undersized American squad was led by 35 points from Anthony Edwards, but a late push to come back and steal a win wasn’t enough. Following the loss, the critics of Kerr’s small-ball approach were out in full force and had plenty to say after Team USA was out-rebounded 43-27 and gave up 18 offensive boards in the process.
New rules in college football are changing the way teams run their offenses. And Chip Kelly, for one, is not a fan.
Under the new rules, the clock no longer stops after a first down outside of two minutes. But even with less stoppages, there still seemed to be an alarming number of commercial breaks in Week 1.
“These new rules are crazy,” Kelly said. “We had four drives in the first half. Hope you guys are selling a lot of commercials.”

Chip Kelly isn’t a fan of a recent change implemented by the NCAA in relation to clock management during college football games. The change Kelly appears to be referencing during a brief interview at halftime of UCLA’s 27-13 win over Coastal Carolina, was implemented to speed up college games.
With this new rule, the game clock will continue to run on first downs except for during the final two minutes of the second and fourth quarters. Not surprisingly, Kelly, who has been known for running a fast-paced offense, doesn’t appear to be a fan.
Lithuania stunned the basketball world on Sunday with its 110–104 win over Team USA in the FIBA World Cup and added some insult to injury after the game.
While celebrating with his teammates in the locker room, Lithuanian guard Vaidas Kariniauskas appeared to be rocking a Team USA cap to poke some fun at the Americans. The loss didn’t knock out Team USA since it was the last matchup in the group stage, but there will certainly be some bad blood if these two squads match up again.

The high school football world suffered a terrifying moment earlier this weekend, as a player in the game between the Karns City (Pa.) High School Gremlins and Redbank Valley Bulldogs had to be rushed to the hospital.
According to the Butler Eagle, referee, Mike Vasbinder stopped the game on Friday, September 1, when he saw Karns City quarterback Mason Martin staggering. Vasbinder then described the interaction with Martin.
“I had to talk to him, and when I asked if he was alright, he told me, ‘no,’” Vasbinder said. “So that’s when I knew something was wrong.
Team USA was upset by Lithuania Sunday morning during the group stage of the FIBA World Cup and one particular quote from Anthony Edwards did not age well.
Edwards has been the star for Team USA during this run and was asked about facing Montenegro and Lithuania last week. His response via The Athletic: “We’re not really worried about those guys.”
Well, they should have been. Granted, his comments came after a 110–62 win over Jordan on Wednesday and the Americans did beat Montenegro 85–73 on Friday. But the young star’s confidence could only take the team so far.

Team USA suffered a rare loss in international competition on Sunday morning at the hands of Lithuania in what was a huge upset during the group stage of the FIBA World Cup. Naturally, the internet had plenty of thoughts on the rough showing for the Americans.
Lithuania started off scoring hot from three-point range and opened up with a large lead to start the game and never let it go. Team USA clawed its way back in large part thanks to Anthony Edwards’s superhuman 35-point performance to lead all scorers, but it wasn’t enough in the 110–104 loss.
