According to a report from Front Office Sports, Formula 1 will be debuting a Las Vegas Grand Prix on Thanksgiving Weekend of 2023. It’s expected that an official announcement will be made in the coming weeks. With a legacy race taking place in Austin and another race set to debut in Miami this May, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the third, and potentially new flagship race for F1 in the U.S. The last time a Grand Prix was held in Vegas was in 1982 at the Caesars Palace parking lot. The upcoming race, however, is expected to land on the city streets of the Las Vegas Strip.

Italian football fans from around the world are at a loss for words. Even its manager Roberto Mancini is left in shock after Italy’s stunned 1-0 defeat to North Macedonia.

Kyrie Irving could be making his Barclays Center debut as early as Sunday following reports of the change in New York City’s private-sector vaccine mandate. Sources claim that New York City mayor Eric Adams will alter the city’s private-sector vaccine mandate “specifically for performers and athletes” effective Thursday, allowing unvaccinated athletes like Irving to play home games for the first time this season.

Jorge Masvidal has been arrested for his alleged attack on Colby Covington. The two previous-best-friends-turned-enemies and past training partners at American Top Team — Covington later moved MMA masters — addressed their beef on March 6 at UFC 272, where Covington won in emphatic fashion.

Promising to take the fight to the streets if they were to run into each other outside of the cage, Masvidal took it a step further by waiting for Covington outside of a restaurant in Miami where he fractured Covington’s tooth after punching him once in the eye and in the mouth. Masvidal was eventually arrested less than ...
