General Daily Insight for January 03, 2024 Holding back can be a challenge. Perfectionist Venus disagrees with expansive Jupiter at 5:55 am EST, creating a dilemma between being proper versus daring, and our heightened emotions only add to the confusion. In addition, the sensitive Moon sextiles Venus, indicating that now is the time to act with grace, so bold attitudes may end up embarrassing us. On the other hand, the Moon also squares the confident Sun, making it difficult to stay quiet when we want to break free. Play it cool! Aries March 21 – April 19 Is now the time to speak your mind?...

General Daily Insight for January 02, 2024 Our emotions might create obstacles. As the expressive Moon squares communicative Mercury, anger and stubbornness could dominate every conversation as our arguments take the wheel! We then experience the Moon facing off with confusing Neptune, making it practically impossible to know if we’re responding to reality — or reacting to our id’s less-than-accurate perception of what’s happening. Thankfully, the Moon escapes the turmoil by entering soothing Libra at 7:47 pm EST. We are capable of balancing our tumultuous emotions. Let’s all take a deep, calming...

MIAMI GARDENS — Resolve is being hardened and focus is being honed as the Miami Dolphins (11-5) prepare for this Sunday’s monumental battle against Buffalo (10-6) at Hard Rock Stadium. “I think that with that bad taste being in our mouth it’s just going to fuel us to be better,” safety DeShon Elliott said in reference to Miami’s 56-19 blowout loss at Baltimore. Lots is on the line this week for Miami. It can win the AFC East with a victory and earn a home playoff game. The best news of all is December is over. The Dolphins are 2-4 in December under coach Mike McDaniel. The defense won’t have...

If FSU and other college stars are getting paid, then they should play in bowl games | Commentary

With apologies to the the legendary Simon & Garfunkel and their iconic song Mrs. Robinson: “Where have you gone, Charlie Wysocki? A college football nation turns its lonely eyes to you — woo, woo, woo.” As I sat in the press box for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl matchup Monday between Iowa and Tennessee, I thought back to the first bowl game I ever attended in this same stadium more than four decades ago. I was a wide-eyed teenager as I excitedly watched the Charley Pell-coached Florida Gators play the Jerry Claiborne-coached Maryland Terrapins in the 1980 Tangerine Bowl. I don’t remember a whole...

Dave Hyde: Splat! Dolphins embarrassed in 56-19 stink bomb in Baltimore

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

Generally, the worst thing you thought might happen to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday was some player, some unit — some specific part of the greater team — might get embarrassed at Baltimore and cost the top prize of the regular season. What happened instead was everyone got embarrassed. The Dolphins defense watched Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Pompano Beach native, basically cement the league’s MVP award. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s big plays in an offense known for big plays were two interceptions. The special teams gave up a long kickoff return when the script was still in...

Chris Perkins: Success of Dolphins’ season now relies on their mentality more than their physicality

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

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 against...

General Daily Insight for January 01, 2024 It’s time to speak with confidence! Perfectionist Venus faces off against critical Saturn, creating tense energy and the potential for clashing ideals. Communicative Mercury then stations direct at 10:08 pm EST after being retrograde in Sagittarius, which pushes us to say what’s really on our minds, rather than keeping quiet for the sake of appearances. Fortunately, the sensitive Moon then trines adaptable Uranus, allowing us to pivot away from any issues we can’t immediately solve. There is time to heal while we look for compromises. Aries March...

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. Vladislav...
