Morbidelli: "Taking risks was key to the Championship"

"It is difficult to have a goal without ever having tried the bike,” explains the Italian. “The first thing, however, is to understand the prototype and how to ride it, to understand it quickly but also to understand how to express myself on the bike. Then, with regard to a target in terms of positions, I can’t say anything; I have no idea how it will go. I expect a lot of power. My first laps on a MotoGP bike will definitely be an experience to remember.” Source link

Kyrie Irving Has ‘No Regrets” After Vulgar Outburst Toward Sixers Fan

Kyrie Irving had a bit of a foot-in-mouth moment during the Boston Celtics’ 102-92 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. The Celtics guard, however, apparently wouldn’t change a thing. As Irving headed toward the locker room with his team trailing at halftime, a 76ers fan yelled, “Hey Kyrie, where’s LeBron (James)?” The new Celtic quickly responded in a very NSFW way, and the moment was captured on video. Less than a day later, Irving owned up to his actions, but also showed little-to-no remorse. Watch his explanation in the clip below: Alright then. It’s perfectly understandable that Irving had a lapse in judge in the ... NESN.com

The duel continues: Marquez & Dovi split by 0.092s

“We started the weekend well, and today the weather was not so bad,” says Marquez. “It was really windy and a bit cold but the good thing is we tried a lot of tyres, so we have a lot of information and we worked a lot for the race. The laptime was coming quite easily too, although of course you push, so I’m happy with the feeling and we’ll see tomorrow if we can keep this level and try to improve a bit more.” Source link

Pedro Martinez Gave Hilariously Poor Answer During ‘Family Feud’ Appearance

Share this: Pedro Martinez is one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, which earned him a ticket to the Baseball Hall of Fame. If there was a “Family Feud” Hall of Fame, though, he’s probably not getting a call anytime soon. The Boston Red Sox legend made his “Family Feud” debut Sunday night alongside some other former big leaguers, and hilarity certainly ensued. At one point, Martinez was asked to name a word that rhymed with “yummy,” which is actually pretty hard to do. Martinez’s answer was … not great. [embedded content] In Pedro’s defense, English isn’t his first language, and the way he said Miami, it did kind of rhyme. And he wasn’t the only one who struggled with the whole “yummy” thing.

High-Powered Nike Executive Has Extremely Harsh Take On LaVar Ball

Share this: It looks like highly touted NBA prospect Lonzo Ball might not be getting that $1 billion shoe deal — at least not from Nike. Ball’s outspoken father, LaVar, previously has stated his desire to obtain a $1 billion shoe and marketing deal for Lonzo and his other two sons. But, it appears that money won’t be coming from Nike, as veteran Nike executive George Raveling gave his opinion on LaVar on Thursday. Wow, veteran Nike exec George Raveling on LaVar Ball: “The worst thing to happen to basketball in the last hundred years.” #sbjwcs — Michael Smith (@SmittySBJSBD) April 20, 2017 Raveling then continued to give his assessment of LaVar, saying that Lonzo should get automatic entry into heaven for having LaVar as a

Patriots Reportedly OK’d Rob Gronkowski’s WrestleMania Participation

Share this: Fans of the New England Patriots who also tuned in to the WrestleMania preshow collectively held their breath when they saw Rob Gronkowski hop into the ring Sunday. Gronkowski took a three-point stance and shoulder blocked WWE superstar Jinder Mahal to help his buddy, Mojo Rawley, win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando. Gronkowski received permission from the Patriots, who were “not opposed” to his participation, a source with knowledge of the situation told ProFootballTalk. The Patriots could have taken Gronkowski to court to prevent him from engaging in physical activity outside of football had it not previously been approved, PFT noted in their report. It was surprising to see Gronkowski enter the squared circle since his

IndyCar Driver J.R. Hildebrand Teaches Detroit Students About Racing Technology

Share this: IndyCar driver J.R. Hildebrand races for a living, but the Ed Carpenter Racing driver is as interested in the science behind the sport than putting the pedal to the metal. Hildebrand, who opted to pursue IndyCar racing rather than attending MIT, was in Detroit on Thursday as part of a Grand Prix promotion. A student of the game himself, he stopped by Central High to speak with students interested in robotics, according to The Detroit News. Hildebrand understands that his platform as an IndyCar driver gives him a unique opportunity to give back and inspire the youth. “I started a foundation a few years ago just to do this basically,” Hildrebrand told the Detroit News. “I’ve always been interested in the subject matter.
