INDYCAR Championship Format Works Just Fine, Despite Alex Palou's Dominance
The INDYCAR championship will quite possibly be decided this weekend at Portland International Raceway, even though there are still two races remaining on the schedule. Alex Palou enters with a 121-point lead on Pato O'Ward. He just needs to leave 108 points ahead and he can celebrate the title. If he's 103 points ahead, all he'll have to do is start Milwaukee. If he's 98 points ahead, he'd most likely clinch at Milwaukee. But no matter what, he'd clinch in the finale at Nashville. As NASCAR fans debate their playoff system, there has been little debate on the INDYCAR side. When the mention of playoffs comes up, drivers quickly shake their heads when it comes to this idea. There's a good reason for NASCAR's playoffs. And there's good reason for a full-season championship in INDYCAR. The first is the length of the season. At 36 points races, the NASCAR calendar currently has more than twice the events of the 17-race INDYCAR schedule. With a 17-race schedule, it would seem that the championship has a better chance of coming down to the last race. It did for 17 consecutive seasons, until Palou clinched in 2023 with one race remaining. Last year, Palou didn't clinch until the finale. So that's 18 of the last 19 years (and likely to be 18 of the last 20 years) that the INDYCAR title came down to the finale. Not every season has been a 17-race schedule. But there's been enough consistency so that people shouldn't have the expectation that the championship will wrap up early. Palou is having one of those magical seasons of rare domination. After 14 races last year, Palou earned 484 points. This year he has 590. That would put him just 15 points better than the current 469 of O'Ward. Plus, open-wheel racing fans are used to seeing drivers wrap up the championship early. It has happened in various series, such as Formula 1. That isn't to say playoffs are bad. The National Hot Road Association has started a playoff format in recent years, much like NASCAR's original Chase format, where the "postseason" doesn't eliminate anyone but is just a mini-season where points are reset prior to the beginning of the final series of events. The most important thing is for a racing series to find what resonates with its fan base and works within its system. INDYCAR could use a couple of more ovals but with a series that includes seven permanent road courses, six ovals (three more than one mile in length; three of one mile or shorter) and four street courses, that seems like a decent variety to determine the champion.

Roman Anthony, Boston Red Sox Reportedly Agree to Mammoth 8-Year Extension
It took 46 games for the Boston Red Sox to determine that Roman Anthony should be a prominent figure in their future. Anthony and the Red Sox have agreed to an eight-year, $130 million extension, ESPN reported on Wednesday. The contract keeps Anthony in Boston through 2034, includes a club option in the final year of the deal and could be worth as much as $230 million. The 21-year-old outfielder, who had been considered the top prospect in MLB, made his big-league debut in June. To date, the left-handed-hitting Anthony has totaled two home runs and 19 RBIs, while boasting a .283/.400/.428 slash line. He has started at both corner outfield positions, primarily right field, while also making 13 starts as the team's designated hitter. The Red Sox selected Anthony with the No. 79 pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of high school. He began the 2025 season in Triple-A, after first reaching the level in August 2024. The Red Sox are 64-51, good for the No. 1 AL wild-card seed; they're three games back of the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in the American League East. Boston has won seven consecutive games and went on a 10-game winning streak prior to the MLB All-Star break. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Bengals' Shemar Stewart reveals key thing Trey Hendrickson taught him
For Cincinnati Bengals first-round rookie Shemar Stewart, the remainder of the summer is about refining his craft while he adapts to the program. With the contract impasse a thing of the past and Trey Hendrickson attending practice and helping out his teammates, Stewart has made sure to absorb as much information as possible. Right out of the gates after Hendrickson reported to the team, Stewart got a key nugget from the All-Pro, according to Geoff Hobson of "You want to be all extended when you make some kind of contact with O-linemen. If it's not, and he reaches you, your rush is basically over. Make sure your arms are fully extended before making contact with the offensive line." … RELATED: Shemar Stewart contract details cast Bengals holdout in strange light Billed as a project prospect, the biggest criticism of Stewart out of college was his lack of production as a pass-rusher and apparent lack of moves to help him get to opposing passers. Only live action will show fans if those concerns were misguided, but Bengals coaches have repeatedly beat the drum about his rare combination of size and athleticism that will help him play three downs all over the line. One guarantee? Stewart couldn't do much better than Hendrickson as a mentor, if at all. RELATED: Trey Hendrickson tells all on contract standoff with Bengals
