The former fighter explained how Mayweather could give Pacquiao some trouble, and mentioned other fighters and what they did to bother the Filipino fighter. The key seems simple, but it’s actually hard to do — throw a lot of punches. Mayweather’s style is a more reserved approach, one that many say he will have to alter in order to win. “Floyd doesn’t throw anywhere near 100 punches a round,” Tyson said....

In 1998, as a favor to my wife, I thought I could get away with taping the last of the four NCAA Tournament Elite Eight games and watching on delay. It’s how I watch a lot of the basketball, since it allows me to see more basketball. But I can’t find out the score, or it’s ruined for me. And this time, I found out the score from a most unexpected source....
THIS IS WARNER COUNTRY, say the signs along rural Route 220. If they’re right, the 46-year-old high-tech millionaire from “Novaville”–that’s northern Virginia, with its once booming Internet companies and its very own Tiffany’s–could become the first Democrat elected statewide in Virginia since 1994. He may also change the way the party does business. Last year’s election map revealed a painful truth for Democrats: rural America wanted nothing to do with them....
The rising number of COVID-19 cases has caused an overflow at hospital morgues and private facilities, the Mississippi Clarion-Ledger reported. Hinds County Medical Examiner Sharon Grisham-Stewart told WLBT-TV the county has always used private storage facilities to store the dead bodies until they can be examined and released to next of kin. “It baffles me that the Capitol City doesn’t have a morgue,” she said.

The mandates were imposed last month as coronavirus cases and COVID-19 hospitalizations worsened because of low vaccination rates and the Delta variant. Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican running for the U.S. Senate in 2022, sued to stop the mandates in Kansas City and Jackson County. In a letter to officials in the county and Kansas City, Schmitt cited exceptions for people with disabilities that are unable to wear masks because they impair their health or well-being, noting that the mandates fail to define either health or well-being, the AP said....

During a Thursday event in Kentucky, McConnell promised to remain undecided about Biden’s pick, although earlier that day he warned the president against choosing a member of “the radical left.” Biden is expected to name his nominee by the end of February. “Look, I’m going to give the president’s nominee—whoever that may be—a fair look,” McConnell told reporters. “And not predict today, when we don’t even know who the nominee is, how I might vote....
The Kentucky Republican began his remarks by highlighting an editorial in The Washington Post titled “Biden takes the easy way out of Afghanistan. The likely result is disaster.” “The administration decided to abandon U.S. efforts in Afghanistan, which have helped keep radical Islamic terrorism in check,” McConnell said. “And bizarrely, they’ve decided to do so by September the 11th.” He continued, “Apparently, we’re to help our adversaries ring in the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by gift-wrapping the country and handing it right back to them....
