Formula 1 Cars Will Be Louder in 2016, but That Won’t Solve the Sport’s Problems

Formula One cars are going to be louder in 2016 than they have been since the switch to hybrid V6 engines for the 2014 season.

USMNT Watch: Alejandro Bedoya Scores in Consecutive Games for Nantes

Alejandro Bedoya was one of the top players in the United States men’s national team talent pool in 2015, and judging by his week over in France, he is on track to keep up the same form in 2016.  Bedoya was the most active American in front of the goal in Europe this week, as he found the back of the net in two consecutive matches for Nantes in two different competitions.  In addition...

In his last few years at McLaren, Lewis Hamilton was clearly growing frustrated. After winning the Formula One drivers’ championship in 2008—just his second year in the sport—his results from 2009 to 2012 were fifth, fourth, fifth and fourth, respectively.

Sean O’Brien Not Rory Best Should Captain Joe Schmidt’s Ireland

Rory Best was named as the new captain of Ireland by national team coach Joe Schmidt on Wednesday, ahead of Sean O’Brien, Jamie Heaslip and Jonny Sexton.
