- Denny Hamlin is openly considering retiring after the 2027 season — even while winning and sitting second in points — because he wants to "go out on top."
- He cites age, persistent body aches and slower recovery (and fear of declining like other champions) as big reasons for stepping away.
- Expect possible one-off races or team-support roles rather than a full switch; he says he's committed to Joe Gibbs and will reassess in about six months.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- A feature matched the best INDYCAR driver to each country in the 2026 FIFA World Cup field — though many nations don’t have any INDYCAR history, so some picks were tough or skipped.
- Conversation-ready highlights: A.J. Foyt (all-time legend), Hélio Castroneves (four Indy 500 wins), Scott Dixon (six titles), Alex Palou (recent multi-time champ/2025 Indy 500 winner) and Juan Pablo Montoya (two Indy 500 victories).
- The 2026 World Cup runs June 11–July 19 across the U.S., Mexico and Canada; all 104 matches air on FOX/FS1 and stream on the FOX apps.
- World Cup is finally here and the U.S. gets to co-host — plenty of excitement on home turf.
- Chris “The Bear” Fallica’s Day 1 pick: Mexico vs South Africa — he’s backing the second half to be the highest-scoring half (+110).
- Another Day 1 play: Pavel Šulc to have 3+ shot attempts for Czechia against South Korea (+240).
- A high-roller holds three parlays that would net nearly $3.5M total — each ticket hinges on Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal finally winning the World Cup.
- Quirky wagers are popping up, including an 83¢ parlay linking Anthony Edwards to score first with Colombia as a massive long shot.
- Bettors are chasing wild outsized paydays — Haiti at 2500/1, big tickets on Senegal/South Korea, and a $300K Kalshi bet against Morocco.
- Knicks lead 2-1 and Game 4 at home feels like a true must-win — lose it and the series swings back to San Antonio.
- Jalen Brunson is clearly battling pain and shooting just 37% in the Finals so his health/efficiency is a big worry for New York.
- Spurs’ defense — anchored by 7'4" Victor Wembanyama — makes them dangerous; Vegas treats Game 4 like a coin flip (NYK ~-2) and some books list San Antonio +115.
- China’s JUNO detector released its first major results, publishing precise measurements of how neutrinos change “flavor” as they travel.
- The spherical detector sits 700 meters underground and watches antineutrinos from nearby nuclear plants — remember, neutrinos stream through your body by the trillions every second.
- The new data haven’t settled which neutrino is heaviest, but show JUNO can tease apart tiny differences; complementary big experiments in Japan and the U.S. are coming soon.
