McLaren driver Lando Norris arrived in Shanghai the favorite, but has some ground to make up in the F1 Sprint
Heading into Friday’s F1 Sprint qualifying session at the Chinese Grand Prix, Lando Norris was the favorite.
And with good reason.
Norris began the year with a strong performance in the Australian Grand Prix where he claimed pole position, won the race, and posted the fastest lap along the way.

It was the first midweek matchup of the year for Michigan State baseball, looking to use the midweek games to build the momentum needed for Big Ten play over the weekends.
The Spartans hosted the Oakland Golden Grizzlies during this week’s midweek matchup. Using a fast start, MSU was able to squash their two game losing streak, putting away their in-state opponent, 8-5. MSU improved to 14-6 on the year with the win.
Michigan State was led by Will Shannon and Randy Seymour, who both belted home runs in the game.

The first wave of NFL free agency is in the books, which featured some big signings and trades that will have implications this season.
But the fun has only just started, as we’re about one month away from the 2025 NFL draft, which is shaping up to be an intriguing one. With all of the big moves going down in free agency, things are starting to become more clear at several positions.
Following free agency, we thought it would be the perfect time to unveil another first-round mock draft taking into account the recent moves around the league.

Thanks to Caitlin Clark, the WNBA saw record attendance numbers in 2024. Now, the rest of the league is making changes in order to accommodate the crowds that come to watch the reigning Rookie of the Year.
The Dallas Wings announced on Wednesday that they will move their June 27 game against Indiana Fever from the College Park Center to the American Airlines Center — home of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks. That makes them the sixth WNBA team so far to switch to a larger venue in order to host Clark’s team in 2025.
That’s half the league.

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj says the lifting of the ban is an “excellent decision” [AFP]
Bowlers will be allowed to use saliva to shine the cricket ball in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), reversing the ban imposed during the Covid pandemic five years ago, reports say.
Indian cricket’s governing body’s decision came after a majority of the tournament’s franchise captains supported the move during a meeting on Thursday, ESPNcricinfo said.

Mike Band of Next Gen Stats put together his first 2025 NFL mock draft for NFL.com, and the Indianapolis Colts came away with Penn State tight end Tyler Warren at pick No. 14. But what needed to happen for Warren to be available at that point?
Warren has been an extremely popular pick for the Colts in mock drafts, particularly during the early going of the pre-draft process, and it’s easy to see why.
The Colts need a much greater passing game presence at the tight end position, and Warren is coming off a 1,200-yard season in 2024.

We’re officially into the second week of free agency and teams’ rosters for 2025 are starting to take shape. There will still be many changes before the 53-man rosters are finalized ahead of the season opener, but we can begin to gauge each team’s goals.
The Washington Commanders made some big moves during free agency, attempting to improve upon what they already had. CBS Sports recently ranked each NFC team after the initial wave of free agency, and the Commanders were high on the list.

CLEVELAND — AJ Hoggard’s phone still buzzes frequently with Michigan State basketball group text messages.
“The way we talk in the group chat,” Hoggard said Thursday, “you’d have thought I was still there.”
Parting was sweet sorrow, in some ways, when the fifth-year senior left the Spartans for his final season. He ultimately chose Vanderbilt, which, like MSU, opens NCAA tournament play Friday at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
The 10th-seeded Commodores face 7-seed Saint Mary’s in the East region first round around 3:15 p.m. The Spartans, the No.

Cam Ward vs. Shedeur Sanders: Breaking down the top of a shallow QB class
Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders have long been considered the top quarterbacks in the 2025 draft class. Both have routinely appeared high in mock drafts and have been in the first-overall pick discussion since the 2025 NFL offseason began. Since the Combine, Ward has taken over as QB1, with legendary draft expert Mel Kiper projecting him as the No. 1 pick in his latest mock draft.

The Kansas City Chiefs began to roll out their biggest offseason signings on Wednesday, introducing nine players to reporters, proving the point that being the Super Bowl runners-up is not acceptable at One Arrowhead Drive.
The Chiefs introduced or re-introduced linebacker Nick Bolton, receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, left tackle Jaylon Moore, running backs Elijah Mitchell and Kareem Hunt, cornerback Kristian Fulton, long snapper James Winchester, defensive tackle Jerry Tillery, and quarterback Gardner Minshew to the media.
