Chris Perkins: I’m still adjusting to the refreshing honesty of Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio

MIAMI GARDENS — We’re still getting to know Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, but he turned heads once again Friday when he listed the shortcomings for his defense. I have no problem with Fangio’s candor. In fact, I like it. But I thought the defense, which had a good day in Saturday’s scrimmage, was coming along pretty well, and showing some promising depth. Fangio’s media session on Friday, however, caused questions to start creeping into my thoughts about this defense. Coach Mike McDaniel isn’t concerned about his defense or Fangio’s candor. “When we were fortunate enough to hire...

MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins will need cornerbacks to surface this training camp after the devastating blow of Jalen Ramsey’s left knee injury and surgery. While they signed a veteran in Eli Apple and are hopeful second-round draft pick Cam Smith can emerge quickly, what if the forgotten Noah Igbinoghene, the 2020 first-round pick, could finally be the one to produce? He has gotten a greater opportunity in camp following Ramsey’s injury, and at Saturday’s scrimmage at Hard Rock Stadium, he had an interception of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa while defending star wideout Tyreek Hill. “I was...

In the sixth, the slugger known as “El Bombi” hit a 433-foot drive that landed in the second deck of seats above the visitors bullpen in left-center. His 27th and 28th homers of the...

By COLLEEN LONG (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a routine part of a federal court hearing: The defendant was told not to discuss the case with any witnesses without lawyers present. But there’s nothing routine about this case. The defendant is Donald Trump, accused of orchestrating a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The potential witness pool is vast and includes members of the former president’s inner circle deeply involved in his reelection campaign, including some currently on his payroll. His lies about the election — which form the basis of the charges...
