Black business owners across the country offer a gamut of services and products ranging from home goods and apparel, essential services like banks and markets, educational resources and more. With an already large (and growing) footprint on the restaurant industry, it should come to no surprise that black families are also making their presence known in the world of wine as well. Their fleet is small—there are roughly 11,000 wineries in the U....

The GOP prosecutors chastised Biden for the proposed measure, which would see a federal vaccine requirement imposed for private-sector employees, health care workers and federal contractors. The requirement, announced earlier this month, is being enacted through a rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as part of an effort to inoculate Americans from the more deadly delta variant. “Your plan is disastrous and counterproductive,” the prosecutors, led by Attorney General Alan Wilson of South Carolina, wrote in a letter sent to Biden....

The main reason behind India’s rise as a badminton nation can be attributed to the fact that the infrastructure for the sport has improved drastically, in the first decade of the 21st century. As a result of that, the young and talented badminton players of India got the exposure they needed to succeed at the international level. Indian players have been consistent in winning medals, in most of the badminton tournaments in the last decade....

We’ve broken down the roster into a usual fantasy team alignment, with a fourth receiver essentially functioning as a FLEX. The spot that stands out the most is running back, where aside from a weirdly awesome season from Austin Ekeler, we haven’t had any huge breakouts in the vein of James Conner or Chris Carson last year or even Alex Collins in 2017 (remember him?). Wide receiver had several strong candidates, and we couldn’t even include Marquise Brown or Terry McLaurin after productive starts that eventually hit the rookie wall....

Many studios have taken a shot at the now well-recognized Souls-Like genre. Nioh, The Surge, and Ashen are the most successful examples of very faithful takes on the Souls-Like formula, but its ripples could also be felt in some of the best RPGs in recent memory, from Skyrim to The Witcher. Even with other combat systems and artstyles, the tone and try, die, repeat gameplay loop of Dark Souls has been recreated in the likes of Hollow Knight, Salt and Sanctuary, and Dead Cells....

The draft lottery was altered this year in an attempt to discourage teams from intentionally tanking. The New York Knicks (17-65), Phoenix Suns and Cleveland Cavaliers (both 19-63) had the three worst records across the league this past season, so each of the trio have a 14% chance of earning the top pick - widely expected to be Duke freshman big man Zion Williamson, who has garnered comparisons to greats including LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal with his athleticism, physical dominance and skill level....

One of the biggest talking points surrounding the Giants heading into the draft was their undeniable need to draft a quarterback, one who will be the next franchise quarterback after Eli Manning’s time is up. There have been many debates over who the Giants should take at No. 6, as many looked at the stats and film and preached for Dwayne Haskins out of Ohio State. However, to many fans and the media’s dismay and dissatisfaction, the Giants saw their future elsewhere and went the opposite route....

No 2019 draft-eligible hopeful has had the spotlight shine on him for as long as speedy Team USA center Jack Hughes, who some feel is a virtual lock to be the first player selected when the draft convenes in Vancouver in June. But what the last few months have shown us is that it’s time to make a little room on the stage for other prospects, some who even as early as October have distinguished themselves as candidates to challenge Hughes for first overall....

The three-year-old thoroughbred is a 3/5 favorite to win at Churchill Downs on Saturday as the 146th running of the “Run for the Roses” takes place after the coronavirus pandemic forced its postponement from its traditional early May slot. If he is to add the Kentucky Derby to his resume, however, Tiz The Law will have to make history after drawing the No. 17 post when the starting positions were assigned on Tuesday....

The COVID-19 pandemic and transfer portal have impacted roster management for the 2021 season and beyond. The 12-team College Football Playoff proposal, a response to the dominance of a handful of schools in the four-team era, shook up the summer. Then Texas and Oklahoma’s move to the Southeastern Conference kick-started another potential realignment shuffle. What does that mean for the Power 5 and Group of 5? Sporting News sent a survey to FBS coaches (prior to the Oklahoma-Texas bombshell) to respond to a 15-question survey dealing with all of those questions....

The selection makes sense for many reasons because, along with other additions made in this year’s draft, Najee Harris could allow the Steelers to improve on their late-season implosion last year. On that note, let’s take a look at how Najee Harris could help the Pittsburgh Steelers this season. #1 Najee Harris could be a threat in the Steelers’ backfield The first way that Najee Harris could help the Pittsburgh Steelers this upcoming season is by being a threat out of the backfield....

Book finished the game 24 of 27 for 285 yards with three touchdowns and a lone interception to move Notre Dame to 10-0. Book and the Irish are putting the finishing touches on a brilliant season dominating the ACC, and a strong end of the season could vault Book into 2021 NFL Draft discussion. “A champion,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly called Book, as reported by The Athletic. “A guy that has taken the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and not been given the credit he rightfully deserved....
