The jury found him guilty on Jan. 12 after a seven-day trial of conspiracy to unlawfully dispense and distribute controlled...

General Daily Insight for January 19, 2024 Knowledge is power. Intellectual Mercury harmonizes with expansive Jupiter, asking us to broaden our horizons through travel, communicating with intelligent people, or taking a class that interests us. Unfortunately, as fair Venus squares confusing Neptune at 10:49 am EST, gray areas appear all over. The truth could be nigh impossible to find, and creative endeavors may be thwarted. Still, once caring Luna conjoins innovative Uranus, we can open our hearts to change — though mood swings and uncertainty are still present. Don’t be caught unaware. Aries March...

Winderman’s view: Opening chemistry closing in on Heat? Loss raises questions

TORONTO – Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 121-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors: – Instead of these past two games with Jimmy Butler’s return answering questions, it only seems to have furthered the issue of Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro together. – The start on Monday night in Brooklyn was awful. – This one was awful-er. – Butler passive, Herro launching and Adebayo trying to find a middle ground has merely provided deficits. – That’s not to say that it can’t work. – It’s just not at the moment. – At least at the outset. – It’s not an indictment on any of...

TORONTO – Well, that’s one way to end the first half of the season. By virtually assuring that the start of the second half has to be better. Now 24-17 at the midpoint of their season, Miami Heat took a game seemingly there for the taking and kicked it away Wednesday, on a night they had a franchise-record 35-point halftime deficit on the way to a 121-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena. With the Raptors shorthanded as they worked to finalize a trade of Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers, the Heat created their second consecutive disaster of a first half, this time the hole too...

College Football Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock? Influential ESPN commentator Paul Finebaum? Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. You’re not even close. It’s college football coaching super-agent Jimmy Sexton, the man who has literally and legally convinced college athletic directors to sign away mega-millions, if not billions of dollars, in one-sided coaching contracts to his grateful clients over the years. Sports agent Jimmy...
