by Keith Idec JAKE PAUL and Mike Tyson didn’t deliver much entertainment value once the opening bell rang for their eight-round heavyweight fight Friday night in Arlington, Texas.

Very early in the 2024-25 season, Draymond Green has already suffered his first ejection. This was during the NBA’s Emirates Cup matchup between the Warriors and the Grizzlies over the weekend, when the veteran forward fouled rookie Zach Edey and prevented his rivals from breaking out into a potential counter attack. At first, it was considered a “take” foul, but eventually the league reviewed it and upgraded the play to a flagrant foul. Even though Golden State ended up winning the match 128-123, the controversial play somehow stained their efforts as their rivals expressed frustration after the match. This is…

Mondraker, perhaps a brand best known for its mountain bikes, has launched the Arid Carbon, its first-ever non-electric gravel bike. Based near Alicante in Spain, the brand claims it is based in one of Europe’s most arid regions and as such knows a thing or two about dry, dusty terrain and the search for grip when riding. It is this dry terrain that provides the model name for the bike.The best gravel bikes cover a range of uses at the moment. But it seems Mondraker has created something of a do-it-all model here. The Arid isn’t an all-out race machine or…

A 37-year-old Federer triumphed in the pair’s final encounter, in 2019 at Wimbledon, but it was a 17-year-old Nadal who won their first meeting, in 2004.”I thought I was on top of the world. And I was – until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. “All that buzz I’d been hearing about you about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday – it wasn’t just hype.”We were both at the start of…
what’s it all mean? By: Sean Crose Sixty million. Households. Not individuals. Households. Sixty million. That’s the number of homes that tuned in for last Friday’s Mike Tyson-Jake Paul novelty bout.
