Saguenay teen gets $900,000 for Lewis Hamilton card

Few can boast that they have become near millionaires by the age of 17… yet young Jean-Nicolas Gagnon seems to have achieved the feat with a simple pack of trading cards purchased in 2021 in Saguenay.

The youngster, who had no knowledge of the world of card collecting, was surprised to learn that a card included in a box was the only card autographed, from a 1 on 1 set, by the seven-time Formula 1 champion himself, Lewis Hamilton!

Since the acquisition of the card, offers from stars and collectors have multiplied and it is finally an American entrepreneur who put almost a million on the table (900 000 USD) for this unique card!

This sale would also be a record amount for the acquisition of a Formula 1 card.

Capture Netflix

If you want to know more, Jean-Nicolas Gagnon and his father participated in episode 6, Dreams Do Come True, of the reality show King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch, available on Netflix.

A skier miraculously survives a descent into hell

These images of a French skier who miraculously survives a descent into hell and sees death from close range have quickly gone viral…

Indeed, the skier in his thirties who was going to practice his sport as usual was simply filming himself when he fell into a crevasse that he is surely not ready to forget…

According to L’Obsthe man who was on the Girose glacier located in the town of La Grave (Hautes-Alpes) has recently shared the said video, which dates from 2022, on the Instagram account of his skiers’ collective.

You’re probably wondering how the man got out of it…

Fortunately, he was accompanied by members of his group who would have sent him a rope.

The man could then have climbed back up thanks to his climbing equipment!

This proves that you should never ski alone and without any equipment!

How would you have reacted in such a situation?

Aaron Rodgers moves to the New York Jets in a blockbuster deal

The rumor had been circulating for weeks in the NFL. Now it’s done. Aaron Rodgers is leaving the Green Bay Packers and joining the New York Jets, who have been desperate for a quarterback for many years.

According to ESPN, the Packers agreed Monday to trade Aaron Rodgers, their 2023 first-round pick (No. 15 overall) and a 2023 fifth-round pick (No. 170) to the Jets in exchange for New York’s 2023 first-round pick (No. 13 overall), a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42), a 2023 sixth-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that will become a first-round pick if Rodgers plays 65 percent of the games this season.

Last year, the Jets trusted young Zach Wilson, drafted second overall in 2021. Despite his arrival, the Jets have not made the playoffs in 12 years, the longest stretch of inactivity in the four major sports leagues.

With Aaron Rodgers, the Jets get a 39-year-old veteran quarterback and four-time NFL MVP. Used to playing late in January, the man expected to wear No. 8 with his new team led the Packers to 11 playoff appearances and a Super Bowl championship in 15 years.

The Packers should now take advantage of Rodgers’ departure to turn to Jordan Love, their 2020 first-round pick. After three seasons as a backup, Love should be ready to take over, as Rodgers did before him when Brett Favre left for Green Bay in 2008.

According to ESPN, several members of the Jets organization, including owner Woody Johnson, traveled to California on March 7 to meet with Rodgers and try to convince him to accept a trade. The Jets had been targeting the future Hall of Famer since January.

A year ago, Rodgers seemed destined to finish his career in Green Bay. He had signed a three-year, $150 million contract extension in March 2022.

With this mega-deal, the Jets will inherit the remainder of his contract from Rodgers, which includes $59.465 million guaranteed in salary and bonuses this season.

https://twitter.com/MercedesAMGF1/status/1648377024375930952

In the video, Hamilton explains his reasoning behind his choice to join Mercedes in 2013, when many told him not to.

Hamilton says that even his father begged him to stay at McLaren!

It was his very first win with the team in Budapest, at the 10th race of that year, that really dispelled all the doubts of those around him and confirmed that he had made the right choice.

The 38-year-old also looks back on the highs and lows he has experienced since that day with the team, his struggles for human rights, and the importance of giving a hero to the younger generation of young people who have the same skin color as him.

Lewis of course also talked about his dog Roscoe, the mascot, who he considers his child and who everyone told him he wouldn’t have time to take care of!

NFL: A new helmet to fight concussions

The NFL and the players’ union have announced the design of a new helmet specifically for quarterbacks to reduce the severity of impacts that can cause concussions.

The VICIS ZERO2 MATRIX QB helmet, which will be available for next season (though not mandatory), has passed tests that showed it to be 7% better than the most popular helmet worn by quarterbacks last season, reports CNN.

This announcement is obviously a direct response to the serious and troubling injuries suffered last season by Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, among others.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJWC8puOAx/?hl=fr

Good progress, or more smoke and mirrors from the NFL, which has struggled to acknowledge the concussion problem in its league for years?

Time will tell.
