March Madness is heating up, NWSL is kicking off its season and F1 is shifting gears—this weekend is packed with sports action. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for small talk material, we’ve got you covered.
🏀 March Madness Selection Sunday
The NCAA March Madness Tournament field will be selected this Sunday. Still, all eyes were on Duke’s Cooper Flagg, the top NBA Draft (National Basketball Association) prospect, who suffered a sprained ankle in the ACC Tournament. Will he be ready for March Madness? Fans (and NBA scouts) are anxiously waiting.
⚽ NWSL Season Opener
The National Women's Soccer League is back after a record-breaking season. Under a new collective bargaining agreement, players have more control over their careers, including free agency and trade consent. Tonight’s matches feature reigning champs Orlando Pride taking on Chicago Stars FC.
🏎️ F1 Heads to Melbourne
The Formula 1 season revs up this weekend in Melbourne. It is a rare season opener due to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia's shifting schedules to accommodate the month-long holy holiday of Ramadan. Lewis Hamilton debuts with Ferrari, while 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli takes his seat at Mercedes.
⛳ The Players Championship
The PGA’s (Professional Golfers Association) “fifth major” is underway, with a jaw-dropping $4.5M prize at stake. Players dread the iconic 17th-hole Island Green and the newly replanted “diabolical” overhanging tree that’s frustrating even the sport’s best.
💬 Headlines You Can’t Make Up
Southwest Airlines vs. Dallas Mavericks: The airline took a shot at the Mavericks, referencing the outrage over their reward policy changes by joking, "It's not like we traded Luka."
Bill Belichick’s Email Setup: The legendary six-time Super Bowl-winning coach is now the new head coach at UNC and reportedly has one unusual request—staff must CC his 24-year-old girlfriend on all emails.
