Google — along with Starbucks, Spirit Halloween, and seemingly every grocery store in my area — is starting to gear up for fall. It’s bringing seasonal ringtones to the Nest Doorbell (battery) even earlier this year, with the addition of a festive accordion jingle for Oktoberfest that’ll become available in the Google Home App starting September 5th.

[Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] The Las Vegas Raiders waived Alex Leatherwood, the No. 17 overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft, on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam… Source link

Despite an offseason of mixed headlines for Jerry Jones — some controversial and others unflattering — the Dallas Cowboys owner continues to dominate in the financial arena. For the 12th straight year, Forbes has calculated the Cowboys as the most valuable franchise in the NFL, pegging the team’s worth at a whopping $8 billion. That’s a staggering 23 percent increase over last year, thanks in part to the league’s revenue rebound since the 2020 pandemic season and the recent $4.65… Source link

For a sport steeped in stately tradition and the slow unfolding of tension, golf is looking a whole lot like the hypercharged, quick-cut, meme-heavy NBA these days. Just as you can keep up with the flow of an entire NBA season without ever watching a full game, you don’t need to know who won last week’s PGA Tour event — or last month’s LIV tournament, for that matter — to ride the sport’s waves of status quo-shattering news.
