The Miami Dolphins released a strong statement Monday night, supporting players Tyreek Hill, Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith after their run-in with Miami-Dade police officers on their drive into Hard Rock Stadium for Sunday’s season opener and calling for action against the cops involved.
Sunday morning, Hill, the Dolphins’ star wide receiver was pulled over for a traffic violation that quickly escalated to his detainment and handcuffing.
Smith and Campbell were also driving into the stadium around the same time and went over to check on Hill. Police interactions with them grew...
Dave Hyde: No defending police’s handcuffing Tyreek Hill after body-cam video release
The emotion belonged to Mike McDaniel. But it should be everybody’s emotion right now. The words he chose should be everyone’s words when considering Tyreek Hill’s incident with Miami-Dade police now that an officer’s body-camera video has been released.
“Really, the time since (Sunday) to now I think for me personally, it’s been hard for me not to find myself more upset the more I think about it,” the Miami Dolphins coach said Monday.
Everybody loses. That’s the saddest part of this incident. Everybody comes out looking bad or feeling worse because Miami-Dade police overreacted,...
How to watch Thursday night’s Miami Dolphins-Buffalo Bills game

Dave Hyde: ‘What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’ — Dolphins star ponders police stop before season-opening win
His celebrating inside the stadium was tempered by his laying in handcuffs a few hours earlier outside it.
His speed in Sunday’s game-changing touchdown was juxtaposed with his being stopped for speeding by police on his drive to that game.
His answers about the Miami Dolphins’ 20-17 win against Jacksonville took a backseat to his question about being detained by police in the oddest season opener of them all:
“What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?” he said.
What if he wasn’t famous? What if he wasn’t rich? What if teammates didn’t come to help support him as he lay on the ground in handcuffs —...
Republicans at the Hard Rock: Raising money, rallying party faithful, bashing the Democrats
Florida Republicans are supremely confident about victory in November — and wary of the perils of overconfidence.
Party activists, candidates and elected officials who gathered Saturday in Hollywood for a major Republican Party of Florida fundraiser predicted widespread wins.
“If anybody thinks we’re going to lose, if anybody thinks in any way that Donald Trump is going to lose Florida, they’re crazy,” said U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. “The turnout in Florida all across the state for Republicans is incredible. We’re going to have a great year.”
Scott, especially, hopes that’s the case. He’s...
Gators stomp Stamford behind UF freshman QB DJ Lagway’s record-setting night
GAINESVILLE — Billy Napier could breathe a little easier following a rough week that culminated with a much-needed and morale-boosting 45-7 win against Samford on Saturday night in the Swamp.
Napier’s prospects still appear bleak at UF, which led just 14-0 at halftime against a 38.5-point underdog on the Gators’ home field. But Florida’s future is bright with true freshman quarterback DJ Lagway
The nation’s top quarterback recruit in 2024 replaced injured veteran Graham Mertz (concussion) during last week’s 41-17 season-opening no-show against resurgent Miami. This week Lagway took charge...

By PHILIP MARCELO
NEW YORK (AP) — A Pakistani man was arrested in Canada this week and accused of plotting a mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn on the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that sparked the latest conflict in the Middle East, federal authorities announced Friday.

The 20 year-old, who is also known as Shahzeb Jadoon, was...

MIAMI (AP) — Bryson Stott homered into the right-field upper deck, Kody Clemens drove in two runs and the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 on Thursday night to extend their winning streak to five.

Xavier Edwards’ RBI single in 10th lifts Marlins to 4-3 win over Nationals
MIAMI (AP) — Xavier Edwards hit an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Wednesday night.
Automatic runner Griffin Conine advanced to third on Nick Fortes’ groundout. Edwards followed with a soft line drive off Derek Law (7-3) that bounced into left field for Miami’s first win of the season against Washington after eight losses.
It was also Edwards’ first career walk-off hit and he was doused with a bucket of ice water in the post-game celebration.
“I will remember the bucket of ice water,” Edwards said. “It was cold, like getting out of a...
Miami Dolphins vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: Who has the edge in season opener?
Here’s a look at how the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars match up in six key areas ahead of Sunday’s season opener at Hard Rock Stadium (1 p.m., CBS and Paramount+):
When the Dolphins run: Miami returns the No. 6 rushing offense, which was tops in the NFL in 2023 in terms of yards per attempt as the team was in the middle of the pack in terms of rushing attempts. The Jaguars have a top-10 run defense from last season, finishing ninth in that regard.
The Dolphins ground game returns the Raheem Mostert-De’Von Achane combination and added rookie Jaylen Wright out of Tennessee as a...
