Jonas Folger, P4: "Today was another good day and we can head home feeling positive for the future and happy about what we accomplished at Phillip Island. This morning, I got straight to work and I was able to cut my lap time further, which was a strong start. After that, the team and I tried a lot of settings on the bike but I was never 100% sure about which direction was the best one to take, despite the rhythm being quite good. Then, I started a race simulation but after three or four laps, I crashed at turn six. I returned to the track on my second bike that had a different setting, and after completing eleven laps

Lakers Rumors: Lou Williams Being Shopped, Likely Will Be Traded By L.A.
Share this: Lou Williams’ days with the Los Angeles Lakers might be numbered. The guard has been having a strong season so far for the Lakers, averaging 18.6 points in just over 24 minutes per game. Stats like those could really help a contender in need of a guard coming off the bench, which is the exact opposite of the situation the 19-39 Lakers are in. That’s why it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that the 30-year-old is being shopped by L.A., which seems “likely to move him prior to the deadline,” according to HoopsHype.com, citing an unnamed NBA general manager. So it appears there’s a strong chance Williams will be joining his fifth NBA team before the Feb. 23 3 p.m. ET deadline. Thumbnail

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Blues Lineups
Share this: The Boston Bruins continue their four-game road trip Tuesday night in St. Louis against a very good Blues team. One of St. Louis’ biggest strengths is its special teams. The Blues rank seventh in power-play percentage and fifth in penalty killing. This Blues squad also has plenty of offensive firepower and ranks ninth in goals scored per game. They are led by first-ling winger Vladimir Tarasenko, who ranks fourth in the NHL in scoring with 43 points and fifth in goals with 20. The Bruins don’t have the skill and forward depth to win a high-scoring game with the Blues, so the B’s need a strong performance from goaltender Tuukka Rask. He’s 3-2-3 with a .919 save percentage and a 2.32 GAA
Giannis ‘Greek Freak’ Antetokounmpo Nails Buzzer Beater To Down Knicks
Share this: Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo slowly is making a strong case for the NBA MVP award. He gave another sensational performance Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, highlighted by a game-winning shot to beat the buzzer and the New York Knicks. Yeah, no one is blocking that shot with a step back that large. The “Greek Freak” scored 27 points with 13 rebounds and four assists as Milwaukee won 105-104. He’s averaging 23.8 points, 5.9 assists and nine rebounds per game this season, in addition to being one of the most exciting players in the league.

Kate Upton Rips MLB Writers For Justin Verlander Not Winning Cy Young Award
Share this: Model Kate Upton clearly didn’t agree with the Baseball Writers’ Association of America voters’ choice for the American League Cy Young Award. Justin Verlander, Upton’s fiancee, got the most first-place votes with 14, but Boston Red Sox right-hander Rick Porcello had five more overall points because two writers left Verlander out of their top five. Both pitchers had strong but not rock-solid cases to win the award, which probably is why it was so close in the end. But Upton clearly isn’t happy with second place for the Detroit Tigers ace based on her Twitter. You can see how she responded in the tweets, which we took screen shots of in case they are deleted, below. There are some swears, though. (Insert fire emoji here.) Thumbnail photo
Watch Packers Vs. Jaguars NFL Week 1 Game Online (Live Stream)
Share this: The Green Bay Packers’ expected march to the NFL Playoffs will begin this weekend in Florida. The Packers will visit the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at EverBank Field in Week 1 of the NFL season. Green Bay looks to improve on last year’s 10-6 record, and the return of Jordy Nelson, who missed last season due to a knee injury, should help in that regard. Jacksonville last reached the postseason in 2007, and home wins and strong starts will be key to breaking the cycle of losing. Expect a high-scoring game, as quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Blake Bortles both are capable of throwing many points onto the scoreboard. Here’s how to watch the Packers vs. the Jaguars online.
