The Aston Martin F1 driver is full of bold predictions this year
One down, 14 to go for Fernando Alonso.
After a disappointing seventh-place finish in the Spanish Grand Prix, his home race, the Aston Martin F1 driver was clear.
Do not get used to seeing a podium without him.

So far, so good.
Alonso came home second in Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix, recording his sixth podium of the season over eight races.

Former UFC athlete Alistair Overeem looks like a completely different person these days.
Overeem compiled a 47-19-1 record in the MMA world before leaving the UFC and pivoting to kickboxing. He’s currently serving a year-long suspension from kickboxing after testing positive for banned substances.
Well, Overeem doesn’t seem overly interested in keeping the weight packed on while suspended. A viral Twitter photo shared by @Beyond_Kick shows the former UFC fighter’s current look, and he has lost a staggering amount of weight.

Don’t come around Deion Sanders saying the words “my bad.”
Sanders has a major rebuild underway in Boulder and college football fans are excited to see what the former NFL star can do in the P5.
The Colorado coach has been chronicling the situation with just about everything being filmed for the web, and that’s led to some pretty fun moments.
Now, he revealed that he absolutely despises when a player says “my bad.” Don’t ever let those two words leave your mouth in his presence.
Deion Sanders is trying to turn Colorado around.

Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez has yet to hit below .294 over the course of a big-league season. He won the National League batting title a year ago. Even those accomplishments, however, couldn’t hint at what Arraez had in store for this year.
Arraez went 5-for-5 in Miami’s 11–0 win over the Blue Jays on Monday evening in Miami, raising his batting average from .388 (97-for-250) to .400 (102-for-255).
The All-Star singled in the first, third, fourth, sixth and seventh innings, becoming the first player to cross the 100-hit threshold in 2023.

There is no joy in Jell-O-Ville tonight.
Mighty Jell-O shot-guzzling LSU has struck out!

LSU Fans Go BONKERS At Omaha Bar After Raising Canes CEO Buys 6K Jell-O Shots To Shatter All-Time Record

LSU fans celebrate BEFORE their game against Wake Forest on Monday night that they lost, 3-2, at the College World Series.
We’re talking about the fan base, which set the record for Jell-O shots at Rocco’s Pizza in Omaha, Nebraska, Monday afternoon at 21,435 and counting at the College World Series. That flooded the record of 18,777 by national champion Ole Miss last year.

A close play at home plate in the eighth inning was the beginning of the end for LSU baseball in its loss to Wake Forest in the 2023 College World Series.

Relative to the average minor league player—even those talented enough to be first-round picks—Henry Davis’s journey from MLB draftee to the major leagues was a quick one. So it’s only fitting that, in his first career big-league game, it didn’t take him long to deliver an exciting moment in front of his new home fans.
Davis, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2021 MLB draft, ripped a double in his first career plate appearance on Monday night off of Cubs starter Drew Smyly, quickly living up to the hype that’s followed him since he was drafted nearly two years ago.

Mike Locksley took over the Maryland football program as head coach in 2019 and immediately made a splash on the recruiting trail by landing five-star wide receiver Rakin Jarrett and four-star quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa in 2020. The Terrapins then finished with the No. 19 recruiting class in 2021.
In the two years since, though, Locksley and his staff have not been able to replicate that success.
Maryland finished with the No. 38-ranked class in 2022, and the No. 33-ranked class in 2023. It is sitting at No. 71 with a lot of time left in the 2024 cycle.

A season after going 62–100, the Reds have gradually emerged as one of baseball’s best stories in 2023. Ignited by the promotion of highly touted infield prospect Elly De La Cruz, Cincinnati has won eight consecutive games to move within a half-game of the first-place Brewers in the NL Central.
Monday evening, the Reds took their feel-good 2023 to a new level.
Cincinnati reinstated first baseman Joey Votto from the 60-day injured list and inserted him into its lineup for the first time in 10 months.

Oregon State basketball assistant Tim Shelton is paying $50,000 to leave the program for another opportunity, tentatively at Colorado State. It comes as a huge surprise.

Tim’s father, the late Lonnie Shelton, is one of the best basketball players in Beavers history and went on to play a decade in the NBA.

There is a family tie to the program that Tim joined in May of 2022 and he loved every minute.

My experience was great, from the minute I got here.
