Dave Hyde: The speed of De’Von Achane’s emergence is eye-popping to everyone — including him

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 9, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — For a true sense of what’s happening to De’Von Achane, don’t just look at his touchdown total or stopwatch time. Check the scoreboard as he sprints downfield. That’s what Achane does. In real time, his runs like Sunday’s 76-yard touchdown are over in scant seconds, a fireball of fury through the New York Giants defense in a manner that defines the speed all across this Dolphins offense. But pay attention to Achane’s eyes as he runs. He’s glancing up to the stadium’s video to watch the play on the scoreboard. “I’m not watching me,” he said after the 31-16 win against the...

BOCA RATON — Larry McCammon ran for 130 yards and two touchdowns, Logan Lupo kicked a pair of field goals and Florida Atlantic held off Tulsa 20-17 to win its American Athletic Conference debut on Saturday. McCammon scored both of his touchdowns within five minutes of the first quarter, punching in from the 1 about 7 minutes into the game, then blasting untouched through a giant hole on the right side for a 10-yard score to make it 14-0 with 3:11 left. Cardell Williams got Tulsa on the board early in the second quarter with a 7-yard keeper before Lupo’s 21-yard field goal in the final...

FORT LAUDERDALE — Lionel Messi’s entry into the game in the second half wasn’t enough as Inter Miami surrendered a late goal in a 1-0 loss to FC Cincinnati on Saturday night, ending their postseason hopes. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, who had missed five of his last six games because of a leg injury, was not in the starting lineup but was expected to play at some point in the match. Anticipating a second-half appearance, fans at DRV PNK Stadium screamed his name when Messi and teammates began warmups along the sidelines in the second half. The screams intensified as Messi approached...

Dolphins must sharpen, diversify offense, a process that starts against the New York Giants

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 7, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — When the Dolphins needed a spark in their offense last week at Buffalo, the usual charges, wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, weren’t there. Circumstances, with Buffalo’s top-rated defense acting as a catalyst, conspired to limit Hill to three receptions for 58 yards and Waddle to four receptions for 46 yards. It’s up to coach Mike McDaniel and offensive coordinator Frank Smith to make sure nothing along those lines happens again, and that includes Sunday’s 1 p.m. game against the lowly New York Giants (1-3) at Hard Rock Stadium. “I feel like nobody in this league...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 7, 2023. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

CORAL SPRINGS — Spencer Knight’s comeback story will continue in Charlotte, after the Florida Panthers loaned their young goaltender to the team’s AHL affiliate on Friday. Knight hasn’t played in a game that counts for Florida since Feb. 18. The 22-year-old stepped away from hockey for several months to focus on his mental health, and recently revealed that he has been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He had a 2.43 goals-against average and stopped 91.8% of the shots he faced during the preseason. Knight knew this was a possibility entering camp, especially with Sergei...

Pretty beach. Stunning skyline. Sparkling waterways. The kind of city you never want to leave. Residents got a chance to see Fort Lauderdale through the eyes of Mayor Dean Trantalis on Wednesday night at his annual “State of the City” speech.

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 5, 2023. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

The Florida football team is feeling the aftereffects of the Gators’ trampling at Kentucky. Several key players, including leading rusher Trevor Etienne, could miss Saturday’s homecoming visit from Vanderbilt slated for 4 p.m. in the Swamp. Starting center Kingsley Eguakun is questionable with a right ankle injury after he appeared in just his second game for Florida (3-2, 1-1 SEC). Left tackle Austin Barber is listed as questionable with a lower body injury. “We’ve got a number of players that have been modified throughout the week,” Napier said following Wednesday’s practice. “We’ll be...

PHILADELPHIA — Bryson Stott crushed the second grand slam in Philadelphia Phillies postseason history and Aaron Nola tossed seven shutout innings in a performance worthy of a postseason ace that led to a 7-1 win and a two-game sweep over the Miami Marlins in their NL Wild Card Series on Wednesday night. After making quick work of the surprising Marlins, it’s time for an anticipated rematch. J.T. Realmuto also homered as the Phillies advanced to another best-of-five NL Division Series against Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson and the Braves. Game 1 is Saturday in Atlanta. The NL champion Phillies...
