With 2:57 left in the game and a one-point lead, the Dolphins opted to pass on second and eight rather than run the ball, and Tyson Clabo played turnstile for the eighth time this season to yield Mario Williams’ sack/fumble on quarterback Ryan Tannehill. That extremely questionable play call by…
No one is claiming that last nights win over North Carolina was pretty for the Miami Hurricanes, but the ‘Canes became the first team to maintain their undefeated status in week 8. Yet, ESPN’s ACC football blogger Heather Dinich wasn’t impressed, and in a bit of throwaway shade she called…

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi just got a big, fat $25,000 contribution to her reelection PAC from one of Donald Trump’s foundations. Which is sort of odd, because many feel Bondi’s office should follow the lead of New York’s attorney general and investigate Trump’s shady online “Trump University.”…
