MIAMI GARDENS — It was a possible Super Bowl preview, this huge matchup between Miami and Dallas at Hard Rock Stadium, as well as a meeting between two teams that have struggled against high-quality opponents. Miami came out ahead on all counts with a riveting 22-20 victory on a 29-yard field goal by kicker Jason Sanders with no time remaining. It was his fivth field goal of the game, his first from less than 50 yards. The Dolphins and Cowboys both had lots of storylines to diffuse in Sunday’s matchup. But the enduring narrative is Miami can beat good teams. This was the Dolphins’ first...

Davis’ 35 points lead No. 14 FAU to 96-95 win over No. 4 Arizona in double OT

By MARK ANDERSON (AP Sports Writer) LAS VEGAS (AP) — With Florida Atlantic and Arizona going back and forth Saturday, forcing one overtime and then a second, it didn’t feel like an early-season tournament game. These teams could wind up facing each other again in March with much more on the line than the Desert Classic. If so, they will have a difficult time topping the No. 14 Owls’ 96-95 victory over No. 4 Arizona for FAU’s first win over a top-10 team. Johnell Davis scored 35 points, just one short of his career high, and had nine rebounds. “It felt like a high-level basketball game,” FAU...

Lokahi Pauole has spent the last five years bleeding black and gold for UCF football. And like many of his teammates who are wrapping up their college careers Friday when the Knights (6-6, 3-6 Big 12) face Georgia Tech (6-6, 5-3 ACC) in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl, this week has been a reflective time for the offensive lineman (ESPN, 6:30 p.m.). “They always say there are a lot of first lasts,” Pauole said after the Knights wrapped up their final home practice before traveling to Tampa. “I’ve just been soaking it all in. I’ve just been walking myself through memory lane. I...

Winderman’s view: Heat keep foot on the gas, so no need for clutch vs. Magic

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 21, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

ORLANDO — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 115-106 victory over the Orlando Magic: – Building leads the Heat have been quite good at this season. – Retaining leads? Not so much. – That’s what made this one interesting as the lead moved into the 20s. – With Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves from 17 up still fresh in the mind. – For as many as the Heat have cycled through to start games this season, the overall record largely has been about the finishes. – In a season where there already have been a pair of blown 21-point leads, there rarely has been a sense of...

Will land-seizure costs kill plan for train bridge over New River? Some are banking on it

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 21, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Local News.

One day, commuter trains may roll through downtown Fort Lauderdale over a concrete bridge that stands at least 40 feet high. But there’s still one thing that might derail the plan: The potentially astronomical costs of acquiring highly valuable private property through eminent domain. “That may kill a bridge entirely,” Fort Lauderdale Commissioner John Herbst said just minutes after voting Tuesday night to support the county’s efforts to build a bridge over the New River. County commissioners have made it clear they plan to build a bridge because a tunnel would cost a fortune. On Tuesday...

Heat push past absence of Butler, shove aside Magic 115-106 behind Herro’s 28

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 21, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

ORLANDO – The Miami Heat showed the ability to play quality ball against a quality opponent Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic, they did it again. The difference from that disheartening home loss two days earlier was that this time the Heat sustained long enough. After again thrusting to a sizable early lead, the Heat this time kept the pedal on the gas long enough to push to a 115-106 victory at Kia Center, with only a window-dressing rally by the Magic at the finish. With Jimmy Butler and Kevin Love sidelined, Tyler Herro seized...
