NFL team Denver Broncos is officially up for sale and a group of crypocurrency enthusiasts are planning on putting their hat in the ring. A decentralized autonomous organization, more commonly known as a DAO is raising the $4 billion USD in capital needed to acquire the Broncos. One of the major players spearheading the efforts is Sean O’Brien, who previously spent a decade in Cisco’s legal department. He said, “We know it sounds a bit crazy, but it’s also a bit badass. The purpose essentially is to establish an infrastructure so that fans from all walks of life can be owners of the Denver Broncos.” O’Brien confirms that the DAO does not officially go live until the first week of March. Dubbed the BuyTheBroncos DAO, they are willing to pay top dollar for the franchise. According to ESPN, t...

ESPN ranked the Los Angeles Lakers superstar second, just behind Michael Jordan. As King James continues to build his own legacy in the sport, he sat down with Kenny Smith just before the All-Stars to discuss his 2016 NBA championship and coming back from a 3-1 down to win the title for Cleveland. James says that his ability to lead his team from a 3-1 deficit showed him that he deserved the title of “greatest basketball player.” James said, “That moment I was like I am the greatest basketball player people h...

LeBron James recently made his 18th-consecutive appearance as an All-Star starter in Cleveland, Ohio. The Athletic caught up with James on his return to Cleveland and asked him if he has considered coming back to play. James said, “The door’s not closed on that. I’m not saying I’m coming back and playing, I don’t know. I don’t know what my future holds. I don’t even know when I’m free.” James, who is a free agent next season, has made it very clear in the past that he wants his son Bronny James to play in the NBA. Over the weekend, King James also confirmed that he wants to play with his son on the same team in the league, “My last year will be played with my son. Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be.

Reigning Formula 1 constructors champion Mercedes has just unveiled its 2022 season challenger: the W13. Completely redesigned from the ground up after the team won eight consecutive constructors championships, the W13 carries a more classic livery returning to the days of the Silver Arrows, before the team decided to go black in 2020 in honor of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and the Black Lives Matter movement. “It just takes you back to being a kid,” said Hamilton during the car launch. “I think it’s always exciting watching, I mean with this new era of car, we’ve never seen such a drastic change, right? So it’s such a huge change in so many ways, that it’s just been really interesting seeing the designers and everyone coming together to find the best ways of creating a master...

With the new season of Formula 1 just around the corner, Ferrari has now unveiled its contender for 2022: the F1-75. Featured in the gallery above, the new car takes on a classic, flat Ferrari red livery with black accents by the front and rear wings as well as the floor of the vehicle and the fin of the engine cover. Most notably, the sidepods and cooling slats carry a rather unique design that differentiates the Mugello racer from the rest of the grid — or at least the seven teams that have unveiled their cars so far. While it takes on a wider body like Aston Martin‘s design, the top of the side pod dips down in the middle and actually rises back up near the rear when it connects with the engine cover. Of course, we’ll only know exactly how well these vastly different F1 cars will perfor...
