Before NASCAR, there was moonshine. After NASCAR, there will still be moonshine.
Don’t know if that’s on a shirt somewhere in the bowels of North Wilkesboro Speedway yet, but it should be. You’re welcome, marketing team!
After decades of rumors and tin-foil hats, the conspiracy theorists were proven … RIGHT! … yesterday about the legendary NASCAR track.

Will the Broncos trade up to draft a quarterback, take one at No.

There are 256 possible Final Four outcomes. These finalist combos would deliver the most entertainment value, and not just for basketball reasons.

NFL fans didn’t cancel streaming platforms after playoff games, which only means one thing
The 2023-2024 NFL playoffs saw an NFL first.
No, not the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, which despite frigid conditions went into the history books as just the fourth-coldest game in NFL history.
But the way that game was broadcast.
For the first time in NFL history, a playoff game was streamed exclusively on a streaming service.

The Wisconsin Badgers basketball program is bleeding talent.
Wisconsin and Greg Gard were humiliated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by James Madison, and it’s the latest season to come to a brutal end. The team’s last Sweet 16 appearance was in 2017.
Fans have had enough, and the outrage is boiling over. Another problem fans have feared is a mass exodus of talent with the program racing towards consistent mediocrity, and it appears that might happen.

A former employee of the Jacksonville Jaguars who hacked into the team’s jumbotron during multiple games has been sentenced to 220 years in prison for producing child sexual abuse material.
The team first hired Samuel Thompson as a contractor in 2013 to consult on the design and instillation of the then-new video network before later being hired to operate the jumbotron on gamedays. It appears that the Jaguars did not do a thorough background check on Thompson, given that in 2018 the team discovered that he was a registered sex offender with a prior conviction.

The internet had plenty of fun with Caleb Williams’ appearance at the USC/Kansas women’s NCAA Tournament game.
The projected top pick in the NFL Draft was in the house to watch the action go down when he was filmed holding a pink phone and what appeared to be some kind of small pink clutch. Some even wondered if his nails were painted pink and if he was wearing something on his lips.
After all, Caleb Williams infamously painted the f-bomb on his nails multiple times. Anything is possible with the former USC QB.

Here’s a new two-round NFL mock draft
The first wave of NFL free agency has come and gone, and with it we get a better glimpse of what the vision is for NFL teams going into the draft. Player acquisition isn’t only about finding talent, of course, but the formatting of these players into what the goal is for the 2024 season. With most of the big name guys out the way, the attention turns to the 2024 NFL Draft, which is in a little over a month.

Let’s rank the Sweet 16 field in 2024 women’s NCAA tournament by their national championship chances
After the first two rounds of the women’s NCAA tournament, No. 1-overall seed South Carolina has cemented its status as the overwhelming favorite, running over, past and all around No. 16-seed Presbyterian in the first round and No. 8-seed North Carolina in the second round to push the Gamecocks’ record to a perfect 34-0.

After a surprising start, can Haas continue to surprise the grid?
We are three races into the Formula 1 season.
While much remains the same from 2024 — Red Bull is leading the Constructors’ Championship and Max Verstappen is atop the Drivers’ standings — recent events have shaken the field up a bit. Mercedes is floundering, McLaren is strong, and Ferrari has certainly closed the gap to Red Bull.
