ESPN looks at the major talking points from a chaotic and rain-delayed Brazilian Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen stole the plaudits and Lewis Hamilton ensured the championship fight goes to Abu Dhabi.?Shock: Red Bulls gamble to go on to intermediate tyres with both Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo after the final race restart. The rain intensified and both men had to pit to swap back to the full-wet tyre. Verstappens pace at the end suggested a win was there for the taking.Shocker: The only thing worse than losing control in the rain is doing it before the race has started. Romain Grosjean did just that, spinning off at the final corner of his exploratory lap to the grid and smashing his Haas into the wall. It ended a race that had looked so promising for the Haas driver having qualified in seventh position.The FIA was saved by the thrilling final half an hour -- the focus would have otherwise been on several questionable Safety Car and red flag calls.?Overtake of the race: Verstappen was on another level. His pass on Rosberg for second through Turns 2 and 3 was remarkable, going around the outside of the championship leader as he struggled for grip, in almost zero visibility. It may well go down as the pass of the season.Honourable mentions are also Red Bull awards: Daniel Ricciardo opting to pass Felipe Nasr around the outside of Turn 1, which was not the preferred option throughout the weekend. However, Verstappen could have won the award twice over for the heartstopping pass on Perez for third with four laps to go.Tear-jerker of the race: Felipe Massa was given an emotional send-off in Brazil. He might not have wanted to finish with his car in the wall, but his walk down the pit lane, crying and draped in a Brazilian flag, was followed by a guard of honour from Mercedes and then former team Ferrari in front of his adoring home fans. A fitting send off for one of the sports best-loved drivers.?Save of the race: Verstappen, again, saving his car on lap 38 when it looked like he was about to brand the pit entry wall with a Red Bull. Not only did he save the car, he held on to second position despite Nico Rosberg getting alongside him into Turn 1.Drive of the day: Easy awarding this one. This felt like a coming-of-age race for Verstappen, a defining moment in a young career that keeps getting better and better. Hes had his critics this year but this race was sublime -- only Lewis Hamilton looked as comfortable in the wet conditions, with Verstappen passing cars like he was on a different circuit.Honourable mention to Felipe Nasr for an invaluable ninth for Sauber at his home race.china jerseys .

This week they discuss Stephen Strasburg, super-sizing and finger-wagging in the NFL and the acting prowess of the Manning family. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is down to the NFL, which has decided that in a league where men attempt to turn one anothers limbs, brains and organs into a fine jelly, taunting is too savage an act to be allowed. Therefore, new limits on, lets see: "sack dances, the home run swing, the Incredible Hulk, spiking the ball, throwing or shoving the ball, pointing, pointing the ball, verbal taunting, military salutes, standing over an opponent, or dancing", if theyre directed at an opponent. NFL players are the lowest paid of the four professional sports with the shortest careers and the most brutal working conditions. But the NFL has apparently decided that in their particular war, the soldiers must focus on their body language, and stop to take tea. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to Stephen Strasburg, who only has five wins with the disappointing Washington Nationals, but has pitched way better than you might think. Strasburg has had 16 starts in which hes given up two or fewer runs against and hes dead last in the National League in run support. By comparison, Max Scherzer has a 17-1 record with the Detroit Tigers, leads in run support, and hes had 15 starts of two runs or fewer. One of them is supposed to be having a great year, the other guy disappointing. The truth? The great Strasburg is still pretty great. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to the ongoing super-ssizing of NFL linemen, a thought driven home this week by the passing of Art Donovan.dddddddddddd Donovan played in the 1950s at almost 300 pounds, a roly-poly tackle known to Colts teammates as “Fatso”. No one played at three bills then. Now early into exhibition season, some 500 players of 300 pounds or more dot NFL rosters. Donovan said the game once was played by oversized coal miners and West Texas psychopaths. Football currently is played by men who are at heightened risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Chalk it up to evolution? Hardly. The concussion is not the only health crisis facing the NFL. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is up to an idea well call "rapid fire" survey thumbs. The NFLs latest YouTube sensation – featuring the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli - is pushing football on your phone. Now, around the desk we go. Do you like this stuff, this one in particular, or not, and if you do, who should do hockey on your phone? Arthur: Im am willing to watch almost anything Peyton Manning does in the entertainment sphere. Im okay with Eli, I think this is probably his best performance. I think Peyton Manning is the most bankable celebrity name in all of sports. Simmons: Thumbs up. It looked like an Andy Samberg Saturday Night Live skit! I liked it. Farber: Yo! I liked it. Hodge: Alright … I thought I was watching Alec Baldwin in “Rock of Ages” and wasnt sure I wanted to see any more of it. But Ill go with you. Thumbs up to football on your phone. Now, hockey on our phones… Think about that and who should do it. Thats another story for another day. ' ' '
