It appears that Tom Brady has heard about the fan who purchased his pre-retirement touchdown ball for $518,000 USD at auction. Brady recently announced that he is coming out of his brief retirement to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers once again. The GOAT took to Instagram in hopes to ease the pain of the eager fan, by reaching out to digital crypto trader FTX to donate a Bitcoin to a charity of choice of the fan. Since Brady made his announcement to go back to the NFL, the value of the football collapsed exponentially the day after. In Brady’s Instagram, he wrote, “Hey @ftx_official … could we donate a Bitcoin to the charity of this person’s choice?!” The caption accompanied a video of the said touchdown pass he threw to Mike Evans on January 23 in a playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams. ...
After becoming the only player in NBA History to record 30K career points, 10K rebounds, and 10K assists, Lebron James officially solidified his place as number 2 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list for the regular season. The previous title was held by Karl “The Mailman” Malone at 36,928 points, and James needed 20 points against the Washington Wizards on Saturday to pass that mark. Following a 45-minute overtime win in Toronto on Friday, James was questionable for the Saturday night game but ended up suiting up to record 38 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists. Unfortunately, James’ performance wasn’t enough to defeat the Washington Wizards who came out on top 127-119. Nonetheless, James made history at the 5:20 mark in the second quarter as the sold-out Capital One Arena crowd celebrated...
The results are in for “the heaviest boxing match in history.” The long-standing beef between the world’s strongest men was addressed over the weekend in Abu Dhabi. Eddie “The Beast” Hall faced off against Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson aka The Mountain, for a “Titan Championship” boxing match. With a combined weight of almost 800 pounds — Thor Björnsson stood five inches taller — technique came out on top as The Mountain won by unanimous decision with a final scorecard of 57-54, 57-54, 57-54. Thor was able to secure three knockdowns while Hall was able to put Thor to the canvas for the first time in his fight history during round two, although many did comment on Hall’s peculiar stance where he maintained a right-leaned stance to favor his power hand. I guess technique DOES matter. Who knew ??...
Ferrari has achieved its first 1-2 finish since 2019 over in the Bahrain Grand Prix season opener to kickstart a new era for Formula 1 racing. In a riveting 57-lap battle that saw the debut of the new cars under the 2022 regulation changes, the race in Bahrain started with Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc in the lead, followed closely by reigning world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull and Leclerc’s teammate Carlos Sainz. With the new car designs allowing for closer following, Leclerc and Verstappen showed off exceptional racecraft in the middle stint of the race, with the former coming out on top time and again. Unfortunately, things started falling apart on lap 46 for Red Bull when its sister team AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly had to stop his car on the side of the track after the engine shu...
George Russell has become one of the most promising young Formula 1 drivers for Britain at just 24 years old. Since his Formula 1 debut back in 2019, the Norfolk native has proven himself to be an exceptional competitor for the Williams race team, consistently out-qualifying his teammate Nicolas Latifi and earning him the title “Mr. Saturday.” With a reputation for pushing Williams’ car beyond its limits, Russell finally had a chance to show off his true pace when he subbed in for Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton at the Sakhir Grand Prix in 2020, leading the race multiple times and nearly winning despite some technical issues with the car. With his rookie days at Williams over, Russell will have to adjust to a different level of performance expected from him at Mercedes – a move that ma...

While NFL star Rob Gronkowski has been vocal about the possibility of retiring from football once again, Tom Brady’s recent announcement seems to be enough to motivate Gronk to keep going. Gronk had retired once before after the 2018 season but returned in 2020 to reunite with Brady in Tampa Bay. Brady has now revealed he is returning to football to play his 23rd season with the Buccaneers after just six weeks of retirement. In what appears to be a barbershop, Gronk is heard saying, “It’s a very good chance. I’ll let him have a little scare. Give him a couple of months without me and then, you know.” Is he coming back or not! #yeaheis ????@ZacOnTheMic @TKras @gregauman pic.twitter.com/bzhQwx7FBz — alan villa (@amvilla29) March 16, 2022 “He just did it to me for a couple of months,” G...
