So, imagine how the WBA “Super” super middleweight champion’s ears perked up when he heard Saul “Canelo” Alvarez mention him earlier this month as a fighter he’d like to face. “I think every fighter from light middleweight to light heavyweight would like that fight [with Canelo]," Smith told Sporting News. “The fact he mentioned me out of all those fights obviously shows that I am at that level with the likes of them names....

Lynn explained it was the Chargers’ confidence in their own players that led to their decision not to add him to their roster. Newton remains unsigned almost two months after his release from the Carolina Panthers, having spent nine seasons in Charlotte. After Philip Rivers’ departure, the Chargers were seen as one of his most likely landing spots but they declared Tyrod Taylor as starter before drafting Justin Herbert at number six overall....

That’s what the Sixers are facing. Philadelphia stayed alive with a Game 4 win to bring its conference semifinal series against Boston to 3-1, and now the Sixers will attempt to navigate the rest of this series, with Game 5 on Wednesday night at TD Garden. But they’re still looking at what conventional wisdom calls an impossible task, something that’s never been done before in history: rallying to a win a playoff series after trailing, 3-0....

NEWSWEEK: How can you make a useful laptop for so little? NEGROPONTE: There are basically two ways to make a low-cost laptop. One is to take cheap components, cheap labor, cheap design and make a cheap machine. And that’s basically what’s been done in the world. If you go to China and India, you’ll see a lot of that. What we’ve tried to do is to use very large-scale integration [a method that uses fewer components], use really cool design and then of course make them in really large numbers, so that every kid gets one....

VERNON HOUK, Centers for Disease Control National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health Two years ago dioxin seemed poised to clear its name. Scientists concluded that the chemical acts through a special mechanism: it attaches to a receptor–a lock for which dioxin is the key-in living cells. The dioxin-receptor pair goes to the cell nucleus, where it gloms onto DNA and helps trigger a cascade of nasty effects. Under this theory, industry claimed, there might be a safe level of dioxin: one that doesn’t fill enough receptors to change DNA....

Obi-Wan Kenobi has wrapped its first (and likely only) season to intensely mixed reactions worldwide. Some fans thought it was the perfect return to form for the franchise, others saw it as a cheap sloppy mess. The previous Disney+ Star Wars show was less controversial, but only in that opinions were generally more consistently negative. Can any show break this pattern?

Inside the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, Brunson and Cannonier will clash in an important middleweight bout. On a fight-fight win streak, Brunson has had to wait patiently for his time to shine. He faces a fighter in Cannonier who is 4-1 in his last five fights. After losing to Robert Whittaker at UFC 254, Cannonier rebounded against Kelvin Gastelum in August. Brunson respects Cannonier but believes he has an edge in the fight....

Could this be true? Might practices thought to improve personal health and hygiene unwittingly increase the risk of HIV without us even knowing it? Early Studies Spur Debate and Confusion As far back as the late 1990s, a number of studies had indirectly linked douching to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Many of these studies were conducted in Africa, where it was suggested that vaginal douching not only increased the risk of bacterial vaginosis by 60% but did so most commonly in women with HIV....

But the question is how do I know if he has downloaded my personal family pics and so on? Because he replied to me now: “you must have understand what i mean”, which means he is possibly going to blackmail me soon (I fear).

Can picked up a back problem in the win over Watford on March 17, while defender Gomez took a knock during last week’s goalless draw with Stoke City. Neither player will be fit for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Chelsea, but it is hoped they will show sufficient signs of recovery next week to be considered for the showdown with Real Madrid in Kiev on May 26. “As far as I know, nothing else happened [with injuries],” Klopp told a news conference on Friday....

Nick Folk drilled a 51-yard field goal as time expired at MetLife Stadium, capping a 13-point Patriots rally in the fourth quarter to condemn the Jets to their worst-ever start at 0-9.

He gave a bunch of elementary school kids a shopping spree at Dick's Sporting Goods earlier this month. No one should have been surprised when he gave a young boy in the stands a football that he had just thrown for a touchdown -- he does that after every TD pass. But somehow, this moment was extra adorable. Priceless. [GIF via BuzzFeed Sports]

For whatever reason, people had an issue with Newton taking down a Packers sign on his home field. We thought his “Whoppers at McDonald’s” explanation was hilarious, but the people who spent $500 (!!!!) on a sign weren’t laughing when they notified the police.

The Patriots signed the former NFL MVP to a one-year deal on Sunday as their replacement for Tom Brady, who brought a two-decade spell in New England to an end in March when he signed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent. While there are significant question marks over Newton’s fitness, the bookmakers believe the former Carolina Panthers quarterback could thrive under Bill Belichick. Caesar Sportsbook in Las Vegas cut the Patriots from 10/1 to 9/1 favorites to win the AFC and from 25/1 outsiders to 20/1 shot to win a seventh Super Bowl....
