Piastri leads McLaren one-two at Shanghai as Ferrari unravels in post-race chaos

​The 2025 Formula 1 (F1) season commenced not with a whisper but with a storm — figuratively and literally. The Australian Grand Prix delivered a race of attrition and audacity, where strategy and precision mattered as much as outright speed.

I remember a time when I looked forward to the NBA All-Star Game. I was six years old, and the idea of seeing legends like Kobe, Melo, and LeBron share the court (alongside the Knicks’ very own David Lee) was mind-boggling. I remember anticipating the event for a week, but I was surprised when my dad told me he had a dinner scheduled during the game. 

Boston Celtics superstar, NBA champion, four-time All-NBA selection, and six-time NBA All-Star Jayson Tatum is joining a $200 million bid to bring an expansion WNBA team to his hometown of St. Louis.

Anyone who knows me well knows that my Saturday mornings are reserved for one thing: Borussia Dortmund (BVB) (and, of course, tweeting about Dortmund shortly afterward). Like clockwork, I get up early every Saturday morning, brew coffee, and watch with about 20% excitement and 80% dread as a soccer club from northwest Germany dictates my mood for the next few days.

If you haven’t seen a video compilation of the worst technical fouls in the NBA, you’re missing out. You’ll see Jayson Tatum getting a technical for lightly bouncing the ball after giving up a foul; Lance Stephenson for doing the air guitar celebration; and best of all, Tim Duncan getting one for laughing on the bench. The video goes on and on, and you’ll notice that an overwhelming majority of these techs come from the last 10 years. It leaves me with one takeaway: The technical foul is the most comical rule in sports.

Three and a half years after playing his final game for the Bears, Durbin is on the cusp of turning his dream into a reality. On Monday, Nov. 18, the infielder was added to the Yankees’ 40-man roster. Now one call away from the big leagues, Durbin has a strong chance of making the active roster when the season begins in April and could play a big role for the Yankees next year.

Seemingly every year in the NFL, there’s a team that finishes last in its division one year and first the next. In the MLB, there’s almost always a team that gets hot at the right time and makes a playoff run despite a lack of stars. In the NBA, however, you can look at everyone’s roster during preseason and have a pretty good indication of how competitive each team will be.

The Dodgers, though, did not “buy the championship.”. The Dodgers were led by a collection of journeymen and players acquired through trades. It was an incredible reflection of the work of the coaching staff and front office to transform players who were underperforming in their careers to stalwart pieces of a championship-winning team. 

After producing the league’s 2023-24 champion, the Eastern Conference looks to build on that momentum. The competition between the top eight teams will be fierce as last season when only four games separated the second and eighth seeds.
