Speaking to the media, Hamilton asserts that he “will win again”
Speaking with the media during press conferences ahead of this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton asserted his confidence in Mercedes, and declared that victories are in his future.
It has been a slow start to the season for Mercedes, mirroring the bumpy beginning to their 2022 campaign.

The baseball world’s worst fears were confirmed on Thursday.
Star relief pitcher Edwin Díaz suffered a torn patellar tendon while celebrating Puerto Rico’s win in the World Baseball Classic Wednesday, Mets general manager Bill Eppler revealed Thursday afternoon. 
Díaz will undergo surgery later on Thursday, Eppler said, after imaging revealed a “full-thickness tear” of the patellar tendon in the reliever’s right knee. The expected recovery timeline for the 28-year-old is approximately eight months, jeopardizing his chances of playing at all during the 2023 MLB season.

He’s calling it a career after just four seasons in the NFL.
In a surprising move, Chargers safety Nasir Adderley announced his retirement at just 25 years old on Thursday. 
“After a period of self reflection, I have decided it’s time for me to walk away from the game of football,” he wrote on Instagram. “Over the past couple of years I have denied this realization, but I’m finally going to put myself first for once.

Football is a game of details, and the NFL’s Competition Committee is its anal-retentive bookkeeper. On Sunday through Wednesday at the Biltmore in Phoenix, the committee will consider proposals ranging from whether players can wear the number zero to whether game clocks should show tenths of a second. In pro football, no idea is too small, and no proposal is too esoteric.

No. 46 made his selections for this year’s March Madness events.
President Joe Biden revealed his selections for both the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments during the men’s first-round action on Thursday.
Biden does not believe there will be a Cinderella team making a deep run in this year’s men’s tournament based on his selections. He has one No. 1 seed, Kansas, along with three No. 2 seeds—Arizona, Marquette and Texas—making it to this year’s Final Four in Houston.

Sources told ESPN they fear the knee injury suffered by Edwin Díaz could keep the star Mets closer out for a significant period, though they hesitated to place a timetable on it until they see the results of further tests expected to take place Thursday.

The betting odds to win MVP of the NBA regular season moved dramatically this week at sportsbooks, with 76ers star Joel Embiid catching Denver’s Nikola Jokic, the longtime favorite, in what’s turning out to be a close race.

Kansas announced Thursday that coach Bill Self will miss the Jayhawks’ NCAA tournament opener against Howard as he continues to recover from a recent health issue.

Jalen Carter has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing, his attorney, Kim Stephens, told ESPN.
