Formula 1 spent the weekend in Las Vegas for its last of three races on US soil this weekend, and it produced some huge news: we’ll be getting an 11th team on the grid with GM joining the sport with its Cadillac brand.
So, that means another American team — a truly American team (sorry, Haas; you guys are still great) — will be in the F1 fold, as will one of the world’s biggest automakers.

So much has happened this year in the National Football League that it’s easy to forget that the season started off with Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill in handcuffs outside of Hard Rock Stadium.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers just provided perhaps the most clear vision of how he’s weighing his NFL future and, frankly, there’s a lot of uncertainty that includes the possibility of retirement.
“I don’t even know if I want to play yet,” Rodgers said on his regularly scheduled weekly segment of the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN.
