Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Lewis Hamilton is F1’s supreme, and perhaps only, show in town | Giles Richards

Five-times champion is the dominant force in grands prix and on social media, with no other driver coming close to his publicity generating profile in the wider world

Two years into their tenure as the owners of Formula One and Liberty Media have known only one champion. With Lewis Hamilton taking the title in four of the last five years Liberty have inherited a period of singular supremacy by the British driver. Ordinarily this might be cause for concern as they seek to expand the sport but right now they must be positively relieved that if there is to be a dominant star, it is Hamilton.

Hamilton and his Mercedes team have been the pre-eminent force in F1 since 2014. They have won every title since then, with only Nico Rosberg’s 2016 victory denying Hamilton a clean sweep. Over the next two races the team are likely to make it five drivers’ and constructors’ championships in a row to match Ferrari’s record achieved with Michael Schumacher between 2000 and 2004.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

Imagen
The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor
