That blow drew a personal foul for the hit. He then immediately followed it up by throwing a punch in an altercation after the play,… Source link

Ethereum’s transition from proof of work to proof of stake — also known as the Merge — will change how the network processes transactions. The upgrade is set to finish sometime between September 10-20, with Ethereum’s… Source link

There’s a new No. 1 in the AP Top 25. Georgia surpassed Alabama for the top spot after Week 2 following an easy win over Samford while the Crimson Tide struggled against Texas.

Texas is now at No. 21 and is set to be without starting QB Quinn… Source link

On top of that, the loss put the Huskers at an unfathomable 5-22 in one-possession games under Frost. Alberts informed Frost of the… Source link

A Google “doodle” is counting down to the Ethereum merge, a sign of recognition from the world’s most popular website. The nod comes as Ethereum’s long-awaited transition to a less energy-intensive proof of stake method of validating transactions is just a few days away: three and a half days, by Google’s count.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is expected to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Thomas had been listed as questionable earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury he’s been dealing with for the past several weeks. He got that hamstring injury while rehabbing his ankle, which is why he’s missed so much time. He sustained a high ankle sprain in Week 1 of the 2020 season, and while he was able to play on it after missing six… Source link
