He also admitted to having a lot of trouble maximizing his family and professional goals.

In fact, Brady’s decision to return to the game after announcing his retirement really rubbed his wife Gisele the wrong way, as she expected her husband to focus more on his family.

He was supposed to focus on being a great dad, which he still isn’t…

The stormy situation of the driver Oscar Piastri has finally been settled since his future contract has been deemed compliant, as announced by the FIA (International Automobile Federation).

The problem is that McLaren and Alpine claimed to have an agreement with the driver for next season…

So, the F1 contract recognition office has stuck its nose in there to decide, giving reason to McLaren.

At the moment, Piastri is a reserve driver for Alpine and was seen as a replacement for Fernando Alonso.

Note that he was trained at the Alpine Academy!

In the end, this signing creates a domino effect among the drivers, including Daniel Ricciardo, who could end up without a wheel next year.

In his defense, let’s not forget that he is the only driver in the last ten years to have won a Grand Prix with a McLaren!

The drivers’ waltz will be exciting in the next few weeks…

A Mickey Mantle card sold for $12.6 million recently, becoming the record for the amount paid to acquire a sports memorabilia item.

The 1952 Topps card surpassed Honus Wagner‘s T206, which went for $7.25 million earlier this month.

Mantle’s is just as valuable thanks to its current condition, according to Heritage’s director of sports auctions, Chris Ivy.

Via ESPN, Ivy said it is quite possibly the finest example of perfect condition of this iconic postwar card in the world. She’s squarely in a category of her own.

Recall that Mantle was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974 and died of liver cancer in 1995. He concluded his career with a total of 536 home runs in 18 seasons.

Australian Cameron Smith has just confirmed that he too is joining the professional circuit LIV Golf.

The right-handed golfer, currently ranked number 2 in the world, is making a good start at PGA Tour and joins the dissident circuit which attracts more and more big names.

Like the other golfers before him, Cameron Smith accepted a huge sum of money from the new circuit to leave the PGA Tour. He joins a growing contingent that includes Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka among others.

The loss of Cameron Smith to the PGA Tour is significant. The 29-year-old Australian has been on the rise. He has won three of his six tour events this year, including the most recent British Open and Players Championship.

The next event on the LIV Golf Tour will be in Boston next weekend.

Angela: “I can’t. But I will say that I think Carey and the team have been very open and honest.”

Fan: “The media is AWFUL. Everyone is hopeful (…) gut feeling?”

Angela: “I agree that the media can make things seem unclear. I wouldn’t believe anything unless hearing it from Carey or the team.”

A player option clause for the 2024-25 campaign is also included in the agreement, said the CEO of Klutch Sports, James’ agency.

This season, Bron will complete the final year of his current pact, which will pay him $44.5 million.

King James thus becomes the NBA’s highest career money earner with a total of $532 million, surpassing Kevin Durant and his gross value of $498 million.

Despite the California franchise’s recent dismal season, James opted to return to bring a championship back to the City of Angels.
