How much heat is on UF’s Napier among burning questions heading to LSU

GAINESVILLE — That didn’t take long. Billy Napier is back on the hot seat as Florida (1-1) opens SEC play at No. 3 LSU after the Gators’ staggering loss to unranked USF Saturday night in the Swamp. The Tigers (2-0) are a tough out at home, where the Gators have won just twice in 10 tries since 2003. The questions entering Saturday night’s visit to storied Tiger Stadium begin with the obvious. How much heat is on Napier? Plenty, yet a lot of football also remains. But so do the same problems that have plagued Napier in the past. Napier’s play-calling was at times predictable and execution...

Brendan Bett on spitting penalty in Gators’ loss: ‘I made a terrible mistake’

GAINESVILLE — Florida defensive lineman Brendan Bett said he “made a terrible mistake” for spitting on USF offensive lineman Cole Skinner, leading to a penalty that contributed to the Gators’ shocking 18-16 home loss on Saturday night. Bett issued a statement on his social media accounts Monday night, two days after the incident that led to his ejection during the Bulls’ game-winning drive in the Swamp. A Baylor transfer in his first year at UF, Bett apologized to teammates, coaches, fans and Skinner during a four-paragraph mea culpa. “I want to sincerely apologize for my actions in the...

Why 50% of Homes Are Selling for Under Asking and How To Avoid It

If your selling strategy still assumes you’ll get multiple offers over asking, it’s officially time for a reset. That frenzied seller’s market is behind us. And here are the numbers to prove it. From Frenzy to “Normal”Right now, about 50% of homes on the market are selling for less than their asking price, according to the latest data from Cotality.But that isn’t necessarily bad news, even if it feels like it. Here’s why. The wild run-up over the last few years was never going to be sustainable. The housing market needed a reset, and data shows that’s exactly what’s happening right now.The...

Chris Perkins: Dolphins’ loss to Colts means Patriots matchup is nearly a must-win Week 2 game

INDIANAPOLIS — All of a sudden, in the wake of a disappointing, jaw-dropping season-opening 33-8 loss at Indianapolis, the Miami Dolphins are facing a nearly must-win game in Week 2 against New England. If the Dolphins lose their home opener next week to the winless Patriots (they lost at home to Las Vegas, 20-13) they’re facing an almost certain 0-3 start. And then the pressure really would start to build on coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier, and by association, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The key thing to keep in mind is Sunday’s loss is just one of 17, meaning it’s only...

Dave Hyde: An opening disaster that confirmed every doubt of Dolphins

Tell me you turned it off. Tell me you saved your Sunday and your sanity. Tell me you didn’t go the entire, embarrassing distance to witness the Miami Dolphins being penalized for 12 men in the huddle on fourth down from the 2-yard line in the 54th minute of a 30-0 disaster at that point. Twelve men! And tell me didn’t have to see — after De’Von Achane ran 11 hard yards for their best play and lone score —  that Tua Tagovailoa called time-out before running the 2-point play. A timeout? Is that a first in NFL history? See, they were awful all the way to the very end of this dismal...

No. 5 Hurricanes cruise to rout against outmatched Bethune-Cookman

MIAMI GARDENS — The Hurricanes needed to avoid a let-down against a scuffling FCS opponent after beating Notre Dame last week. No. 5 Miami (2-0) accomplished that, beating Bethune-Cookman (0-2) 45-3 at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. “You still have to play your guys, you’ve got to come to these games full throttle,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “And our guys did a good job while they were in there, and they granted us the opportunity for the other guys to play, as well. So we got the best of both worlds.” The Hurricanes wasted no time getting going. Miami forced a punt on...

Heat’s Arison speaks at Hall induction of initial ownership doubts, roses from Shaq, perseverance of Spoelstra

Micky Arison insisted that his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame would be about more than his three-decade tenure as owner of the Miami Heat. So as he spoke Saturday night at Symphony Hall in Springfield, Mass., not far from the sport’s shrine, he remained true to that vow. Instead, he put the focus on those who helped engineer the franchise success that led to three championships, seven NBA Finals appearances, seven Eastern Conference championships, 10 Eastern Conference Finals appearances and 16 division titles. At the start, that meant words of appreciation for...

USF, up next for Miami Hurricanes, stun No. 13 UF in Swamp

GAINESVILLE — Another early season no-show in the Swamp by the Gators. Another season on the brink for Florida coach Billy Napier. A week after UF was virtually flawless against an overmatched FCS foe, the No. 13 Gators fell apart Saturday night during an 18-16 loss to unranked USF that put Napier back in familiar spot — behind the 8-ball and on the hot seat. A 20-yard field goal by USF sophomore Nico Gramatica silenced a sellout crowd of 89,909 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and sent the Gators (1-1) reeling before the season has even started — and will get only tougher. “There’s no excuse...

Phillies go deep four times, pummel Bellozo, Marlins

By ALANIS THAMES MIAMI (AP) — Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer, Brandon Marsh added a two-run shot and the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 9-3 on Friday night.
