In a pre-fight segment, Davidson teased both fighters in the contest that he said showed “how low [boxing] has truly sunk.” He said: “You can tell how professional this event is by them having me here. We are backstage at Jake Paul’s dressing room, or locker room if you want to call it that....

Some people put more emphasis on the form of the last six games than they do on the previous 38 matches. Pricing up a football match takes a little time to learn. With each match you need to decide how far you’re going to go back, which games (or kinds of games) you think might deserve extra or less emphasis and so on....

The former player and manager is an analyst for Fox Sports, and during Tuesday’s broadcast he was discussing his tactics at the plate.

And the Broncos quarterback, who is still battling a partially torn plantar fascia in his left foot, said he has no interest in serving as Brock Osweiler’s backup when he’s healthy enough to play again, NFL.com reported Sunday. PHOTOS: Manning’s memorable moments | STEELE: Broncos must suck it up, face Manning-less future According to the report, Manning won’t return to the active roster until he’s able to get “real backup reps” in practice....

Peyton Manning will keep everyone guessing about his rumored retirement, as the Broncos veteran quarterback was hush-hush about his intentions to either call it quits or return for his 19th NFL season after the Denver defeated Carolina 24-10 in Super Bowl 50. Asked on three occasions — in an interview with CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson, on stage for trophy presentation and during his postgame news conference — if this would be it, Manning deferred to a later date each time....

That stain is somehow both well-known and best-kept secret. The last few weeks saw sports scribes parse and pick apart Cam Newton’s personality. And the last few weeks saw a series of hagiographic, genuflecting tributes written about Manning — the man seemingly leaving the game on his white horse and his high horse; the man of character, charisma and commercial contracts; the man other men should aspire to be....

The development of Pfizer/BioNTech boosters against variants that could have resistance to current vaccines was announced on Tuesday, according to Reuters.

Pfizer announced Monday that it would be seeking approval in the U.S. to begin administering the shot to children between 5 and 11 as nationwide concern grows regarding rising cases of the virus in the unvaccinated age group. The vaccine was previously granted full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for anyone 12 and older, leaving those under the eligibility threshold particularly vulnerable as schools resumed classes and pediatric cases jumped....

The FDA does not have to follow the panel’s guidance but is expected to announce its own decision within the next few days. If the agency does give its approval to the vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention then must decide next week whether to recommend the shots and what children should be able to receive them, the AP reported. The advisory panel voted unanimously to endorse the vaccine with one abstention that the vaccine’s capability to prevent infection outweighs any risks in getting the shot....

The tournament saved its best for last. After a sleepy first 16 holes in Round 4 — that featured Walker methodically making pars with few challenging him — the defending PGA champion, Jason Day, gave everyone something to cheer about with a captivating eagle on the final hole. At the same time, Walker made birdie on 17 to take a one-shot lead heading into the final hole.
