Dolphins embarrassed with abysmal offensive performance in Monday night loss to Titans

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 1, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — As the Miami Dolphins play a stretch of early-season games without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the season could easily be slipping away from them. Already on their third starting quarterback in four games in 2024, homegrown product Tyler “Snoop” Huntley couldn’t provide much for a struggling offense, and the Dolphins dropped an embarrassing 31-12 decision to the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. The Dolphins (1-3), against the same opponent as last December’s “Monday Night Football” blown-lead debacle, handed the Titans (1-3) their first win. Miami missed out on a chance to...

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins have parted ways with Skip Schumaker, ending the 2023 NL Manager of the Year’s two-season stint with the team. The Marlins went 146-178 under Schumaker, who was hired in 2022 as the franchise’s 16th manager. His contract was for two years with a club option for the 2025 season, which the team voided earlier this year. “It has been a tremendous honor serving as manager of the Miami Marlins. I’ve built long-lasting friendships with the staff and players and am proud of all that we accomplished together,” he said. In his first season, Schumaker led the Marlins to...

Pump the brakes. Slow down. Not so fast. Not yet, UCF Knights. Not even close. Sorry to say, but you are just not ready for Primetime. Literally, figuratively, athletically. Deion Sanders — the man who was once known as “Primetime” but now prefers to be called “Coach Prime” — brought his Colorado team to his home state of Florida on Saturday, dominated the Knights and left a big pile of Buffalo chips all over UCF’s coming-out party. This was supposed to be UCF’s big day – a chance for the Knights to show the nation what they are all about; a chance to run the ball right down Coach Prime’s...

He became the first Marlins player with three triples in a game and finished 4 for 6 with four RBIs...

MIAMI (AP) — A Florida man’s lawsuit has temporarily stopped Shohei Ohtani’s 50th home run ball from being sold at auction after saying it was stolen from him moments after he secured it. Max Matus’ representatives say their client gained possession of the Los Angeles Dodgers star’s historic ball on Sept. 19 — the man’s 18th birthday — before Chris Belanski took it away. The ball has since been turned over to Goldin Auctions, a New Jersey-based auction house specializing in trading cards, collectibles and memorabilia. The Miami-Dade County judge said in an emergency hearing on Thursday...

Residents of a condo on Fort Lauderdale beach were ordered to evacuate by noon Friday after the building’s foundation was found to be unsafe, a city official said Thursday. The evacuation order, relayed by the building’s engineer of record, had residents at the 18-unit Springbrook Gardens condo scrambling to find a new place to stay on short notice. “Everybody was in shock,” said Warren Sackler, a retired professor from New York who moved into the condo nearly 20 years ago. Sackler, 74, paid $370,000 for a one-bedroom unit in 2007. Nine years later, he bought the unit next door for...

The Twins (81-76), who have lost 23 of their last 34 games and 14 of 20, dropped to two games below the...
