BALTIMORE — Miami Dolphins center Liam Eichenberg was perplexed. He was asked in the solemn postgame locker room whether Miami should stew in Sunday’s 56-19 drubbing by the Ravens in Baltimore, allowing the pain of that brutal beatdown to motivate them for next weekend’s dramatic regular-season finale against Buffalo, or just flush this loss completely and move on to the Bills game.
“What a great question,” he said, actually pausing to take time to ponder the inquiry.
The Dolphins have to flush this one and rely on their strong mentality to carry them through next weekend’s dramatic finale...

By TIM REYNOLDS (AP Basketball Writer)
FORT MYERS — Zach Anderson scored 21 points, Dallion Johnson added 18 and Florida Gulf Coast beat No. 7 Florida Atlantic 72-68 on Saturday night for the Eagles’ most significant win since their run to the Sweet 16 of the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
Cyris Largie scored 12 and Franco Miller Jr. finished with 10 for FGCU (6-9), which never trailed in the game’s final 34 minutes. The Eagles came into the game as 17-point underdogs and most recently needed overtime just to beat NAIA member Florida Memorial last week.
But none of that mattered on Saturday....

Winderman’s view: And now the Heat back on the Jimmy Butler injury watch after loss
Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 117-109 loss to the Utah Jazz:
– And here we go again.
– Jimmy Butler back.

– Then into the locker room and done for the night in the third period with a foot injury.

– As the heavy lifting has to continue for Herro and Adebayo.
– And, yes, the Heat have found a win to preserve through...
Trump ballot ban appealed to US Supreme Court by Colorado Republican Party
By NICHOLAS RICCARDI (Associated Press)
DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Republican Party on Wednesday appealed that state’s supreme court decision that found former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the presidency, the potential first step to a showdown at the nation’s highest court over the meaning of a 155-year-old constitutional provision that bans from office those who “engaged in insurrection.”
The first impact of the appeal is to extend the stay of the 4-3 ruling from Colorado’s highest court, which put its decision on pause until Jan. 4, the day before the state’s primary ballots...
Things to watch for in Sunday’s Miami Dolphins-Baltimore Ravens matchup
MIAMI GARDENS — Each Miami Dolphins game provides coach Mike McDaniel and his players an opportunity to break another glass ceiling. Last Sunday’s 22-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys showed the Dolphins can defeat a team with a winning record.
This Sunday’s big test is beating a quality opponent on the road, and the Dolphins (11-4) get that opportunity at 1 p,m. on Sunday at the Baltimore Ravens (12-3), a familiar opponent that the Dolphins are playing for the third year in a row.
In 2021, the Ravens won, 22-10, at Hard Rock Stadium. In 2022, Miami won, 42-38, by scoring 28...
New ‘Hard Knocks’ episode with Dolphins goes inside win over Cowboys, Christmas with team
Mike McDaniel really did instruct his Miami Dolphins players to tell media members, respectfully, to “F off” if any narrative other than focus on the Dallas Cowboys was brought up last week.
The famous quote the Dolphins coach told reporters to start the week of preparation for the Cowboys was not just a made-up anecdote. Cameras of reality series “Hard Knocks” captured the moment he said it to players in a week he knew there was going to be considerable talk about Miami’s 0-3 record against winning teams entering last Sunday.
Tuesday night’s sixth episode of “Hard Knocks” chronicling the...
Dolphins monitoring high ankle for Jaylen Waddle, not shin; Raheem Mostert, Austin Jackson injury updates
The injury that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle sustained in Sunday’s 22-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys now has been deemed more of a high ankle concern, rather than the original shin injury.
“Those can be tricky,” said coach Mike McDaniel in a Monday web conference with reporters, adding Monday follow-up examination on Waddle’s ailment provided new information from what was reported by Waddle to trainers during the game. The coach said more information will need to be gathered by doctors in the coming days.
Waddle hurt the ankle/shin deep into the third quarter against the...
Dave Hyde: Dolphins answer questions and ‘don’t ruin Christmas’ in 22-20 thriller against Cowboys
MIAMI GARDENS — So much for not beating a good team.
“Awesome, check that box,” Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said.
So much for not having a signature comeback this year.
“It means the team isn’t crazy for feeling the way we feel,” McDaniel said.
So much for the kicker also not making 50-yard kicks.
“Our locker room is filled with they-said-you-cants,” McDaniel said.
There were so many nagging questions and so much good answers in the Dolphins’ 22-20 thriller of a Christmas Eve win over the Dallas Cowboys in Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday that it was time to consider more pressing...
