An 18-game NFL season is probably inevitable. Here are three ways the league can make it work.
The NFL is inching closer and closer to an expanded schedule, which will likely mean an 18th game is coming in the not-so-distant future.
In an April interview with ESPN’s Pat McAfee, commissioner Roger Goodell said the conversation surrounding an extra game has already begun.
“If we got to 18 (regular season) and 2 (preseason games), that’s not an unreasonable thing,” Goodell said.

The Stanley Cup Final is headed back to Edmonton, and some history from Connor McDavid is a big reason why
The Stanley Cup Final is headed back to Edmonton, as the Oilers became just the fourth team in NHL history to force a Game 6 after dropping the first three games of the series. Edmonton’s 5-3 road win on Tuesday night keeps their title dreams alive, and extends their season by at least one more game.
In the win, Connor McDavid made some NHL history of his own.

Red Bull driver Sergio Pérez is hoping to bounce back after two difficult race weekends
To say the past few weeks of the Formula 1 season have been a roller coaster for Sergio Pérez might be an understatement.
Ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Red Bull announced a new contract for the driver, ending months of speculation about Pérez’s future with the team and the status of the seat alongside Max Verstappen. That announcement was certainly a high point for Pérez.

Woods has played only nine PGA Tour events over the last three seasons.

New England’s reign atop the NFL is already a distant memory. At No. 31 on our list, a fresh start with a new head coach and quarterback could improve the outlook.

Do Lions, 49ers, or Cowboys have best odds to win NFC in either of the next 2 seasons?
If I made you the general manager of an NFL team in January and told you that your goal was to make the playoffs in either of the next two seasons, then you would make different decisions than if I told you that you had to make the playoffs right away and to only worry about 2024. The perfect example of a team that only cares about 2024 is the Dallas Cowboys, and owner Jerry Jones’ actions reveal a man who only cares about the present and not the future.

Dick Vitale has gone through so much and waited so long to announce college basketball games again on ESPN that he almost can’t contain himself. 
But he can’t talk about it right now.

Who can stop the Chiefs from winning another Super Bowl in either of the next 2 years?
The Kansas City Chiefs should already be considered a dynasty, as the only other teams in NFL history to win at least three Super Bowls in a five-year span or less are the 1974-1979 Steelers, the 1992-1995 Cowboys, the 2001-2004 Patriots, and the 2014-2018 Patriots.

We now have it in writing – the Wicked Witch (of NASCAR) is DEAD. Done. Kaput. Finished. And it’s all thanks to Dale Earnhardt Jr. 
By now you all know the saga – Lord knows I’ve written about it enough over the past six weeks. Teresa Earnhardt – Dale Sr.’s widow – has finally released the No. 8 trademark back into the wild after holding it (hostage) for the better part of two decades. 
And now, after spending years under the Dale Earnhardt Incorporated (the good kind of DEI!) umbrella, the famous trademark is back with Dale Jr. Back where she belongs.

Haas driver Kevin Magnussen is hoping the game of driver musical chairs ends with him having a seat for 2025
The game of Formula 1 driver musical chairs is heating up, with more drivers having locked down a seat for the 2025 season. That list includes both Sergio Pérez and Yuki Tsunoda, who secured spots in the Red Bull family as was announced ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
One driver who is still searching for a spot is hopeful that he will learn his fate “soon.
