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.

F1 fans saw history made at Monza thanks to Max Verstappen
Formula 1 history was made Sunday at the Temple of Speed.
Max Verstappen took home the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, marking his tenth straight victory in F1 and setting a new record in the process. Having tied Sebastian Vettel’s mark of nine straight wins last week in the Dutch Grand Prix, Verstappen went into the heart of Ferrari country and in front of a crowd willing Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc to the front of the field, put his name into the record books.
No one in the more than 70-year history of Formula 1 has won more consecutive races than Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. He locked up his 10th straight win by taking P1 in the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday.
While there were battles throughout the field, including a late-race battle between both Ferraris for the final step of the podium, Verstappen checked out and spent most of the Grand Prix as much as 10 seconds up the road.
That’s not the biggest margin of victory he has had this season, but it was still dominant.
Deion Sanders made his long-awaited regular season debut as Colorado’s coach and did so in incredible fashion this weekend.

Warning: wanting to run through a brick wall may follow.
“This has nothing to do with the team that’s opposing us. This is about us,” Sanders said in the locker room before the game.

This past college football offseason was one of the most eventful in history. After all, it’s not every day that a Power 5 conference falls before your very eyes.
By the start of the college football season this week, all but two teams from the Pac-12 are set to leave the conference, leaving only Oregon State and Washington State. Ironically, the conference balled out in Week 1 of the 2023 college football season, winning every game it played — as of Sunday morning.
