In an initial selection of 32 players (one per team) for the NHL All-Star Game, Sam Reinhart was chosen as the Florida Panthers’ representative on Thursday night.

BY MICHAEL R. SISAK, REBECCA BOONE and DAVID B. CARUSO (Associated Press)
NEW YORK (AP) — Amid great hype, a court began to release a new batch of previously secret court documents late Wednesday related to Jeffrey Epstein, the jet-setting financier who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
Social media has been rife in recent weeks with posts speculating the documents would include a list of rich and powerful men who were Epstein’s “clients” or “co-conspirators.”
There was no such list. The initial collection of around 40 documents made public largely...
Florida appeals court rejects minor’s attempt to get abortion without consent
TALLAHASSEE — For the second time in less than three weeks, an appeals court Wednesday rejected a minor’s attempt to have an abortion without notifying and getting consent from a parent or guardian.
But the ruling by a three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal could have broader implications for future requests by minors to receive waivers from a parental notification and consent requirement in state law.
The minor, identified by the pseudonym Jane Doe, went to the appeals court after Leon County Circuit Judge Lance Neff turned down her request for such a waiver. In what appears...

The seventh episode of HBO reality series “Hard Knocks” tracking the Miami Dolphins late in their season covered two devastating losses, the one against the Baltimore Ravens and that of outside linebacker Bradley Chubb due to the torn ACL in his right knee.

Chubb was heard telling trainers he couldn’t move the knee with how much pain he was in before being carted off.
Defensive tackle Zach Sieler prayed with conviction in...

MIAMI GARDENS — Resolve is being hardened and focus is being honed as the Miami Dolphins (11-5) prepare for this Sunday’s monumental battle against Buffalo (10-6) at Hard Rock Stadium.

Lots is on the line this week for Miami. It can win the AFC East with a victory and earn a home playoff game.

If FSU and other college stars are getting paid, then they should play in bowl games | Commentary
With apologies to the the legendary Simon & Garfunkel and their iconic song Mrs. Robinson:
“Where have you gone, Charlie Wysocki?
A college football nation turns its lonely eyes to you — woo, woo, woo.”
As I sat in the press box for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl matchup Monday between Iowa and Tennessee, I thought back to the first bowl game I ever attended in this same stadium more than four decades ago. I was a wide-eyed teenager as I excitedly watched the Charley Pell-coached Florida Gators play the Jerry Claiborne-coached Maryland Terrapins in the 1980 Tangerine Bowl. I don’t remember a...
Dave Hyde: Splat! Dolphins embarrassed in 56-19 stink bomb in Baltimore
Generally, the worst thing you thought might happen to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday was some player, some unit — some specific part of the greater team — might get embarrassed at Baltimore and cost the top prize of the regular season.
What happened instead was everyone got embarrassed.
The Dolphins defense watched Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Pompano Beach native, basically cement the league’s MVP award. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s big plays in an offense known for big plays were two interceptions. The special teams gave up a long kickoff return when the script was still...
