Mandatories stand in Josh Taylor’s path to super stardom

The good news for Josh Taylor is that he’ll walk to the ring on Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland, to a hero’s welcome as he prepares to defend his undisputed super lightweight title against mandatory challenger Jack Catterall.

Brian Flores lawsuit is brave stand against discrimination

If you’ve spent any time speaking to Black coaches or front-office personnel in the NFL, if you’ve spent any time paying attention to the league around hiring season, Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit isn’t a surprise.

Google Pixel Stand (2nd gen) review: nice but not a must-have

The latest Google Pixel Stand is less of a “must-have” accessory if you’re a Pixel phone owner and more of a “nice to have.” For $79, its primary job is fast wireless charging, and it does that well. But unless you’re a Pixel 6 or 6 Pro owner and you’re really sold on one of the stand’s handful of extra features supported by your phone, then you’d be better off saving your money and getting an inexpensive third-party charger. … Source link
