Williams F1 driver Franco Colapinto’s hard crash in qualifying has his status for the Las Vegas Grand Prix in doubt
The 2024 Formula 1 São Paulo Grand Prix was, in the words of Williams Team Principal James Vowles, one of the “lowest moments” you can feel in the sport.
Both Alexander Albon and Franco Colapinto suffered hard crashes in qualifying, which was moved to Sunday ahead of the race itself due to wet conditions in São Paulo.

Alpine F1 delivered one shocking result in São Paulo, and are on the cusp of another in Las Vegas
The 2024 Formula 1 season got off to a difficult start for Alpine.
But that very same season is setting up for an incredible finish.
The team began the year at the back of the grid, as Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly locked out the back row for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn’t miss often during his time in NASCAR. Everything he touched, for the most part, turned to gold. 
He was the most popular driver for a billion seasons in a row. He was, by far, the most marketable driver in the sport (still is), and he parlayed that into generational wealth. He won a lot of races, stayed out of trouble (for the most part), and is now perhaps the biggest ambassador for the series. 
He also survived a plane crash, which is pretty neat. But that’s neither here nor there. 
Anyway, he rarely made a mistake.

Recruiting is a cut-throat game, where every school uses whatever means necessary to land recruits. In its pursuit of Bryce Underwood, the Michigan Wolverines played a trump card that no one had.
Underwood is the top quarterback in next year’s recruiting class, and he had originally committed to playing for the LSU Tigers. Additionally, he turned down an aggressive $10.5 million offer from Michigan when the Wolverines tried to flip him back to his hometown school.
However, Michigan wasn’t done pursuing the big prize of the class.

Ian Rapoport is still not over being played for a fool by former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey.
During his NFL Network Insiders program on Friday, Rapoport brought up one of the more embarrassing moments in his journalism career, when he was duped into reporting that the Titans were going to re-sign Mularkey. Within hours of his reporting, though, the Titans ended up firing Mularkey and Rapoport got completely dragged on social media over the ‘Insider’ not being on the inside of anything.

The Houston Rockets rookie made an incredible play against the Trail Blazers.
Reed Sheppard wasn’t supposed to be a one-and-done prospect, but his freshman season at Kentucky was so outstanding that it vaulted him to the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The Houston Rockets selected Sheppard for his knockdown shooting, strong feel for the game, and razor-sharp hands that specialized in forcing turnovers.
