Miami Dolphins’ defensive backfield allows Buffalo Bills’ Sammy Watkins to have career day | Miami Herald
Bills receiver Sammy Watkins missed the team’s last game with an ankle injury and was limited in practice all week, even after a bye.But he returned to action Sunday and torched the Dolphins for a career-high 168 yards and a touchdown in the Bills’ 33-17 victory at Ralph Wilson Stadium.“I take the blame for it,” said cornerback Brent Grimes, who was beaten for a 63-yard reception in the second quarter and a 44-yard touchdown in the third. “I didn’t bring my A-game today.”Watkins beat Grimes by so much on the 63-yard catch that he bobbled the ball twice and still had plenty of room to reel it in. That set up a Karlos Williams touchdown run on the next play.In the third quarter, Miami was driv..>> view originalSources: Miami Heat has no plans to cut ties with Gerald Green | Miami Herald
Gerald Green’slocker stall still included a nameplate, some clothes and a brand new scouting report Sunday evening.There was no jersey waiting for him, however.Not yet.It remains unclear when the veteran swingman will return to action, after missing his fourth consecutive game, this one against Toronto. Green, a late scratch last Tuesday against Atlanta because of what the Heat called an “illness,” was hospitalized before the team flew to Minneapolis on Wednesday after Miami Fire-Rescue called police for assistance to help deal with “a combative patient” at the Marquis Residences at 1100 Biscayne Blvd.During the team’s two-game trip, coachErik Spoelstraspoke of Green being “safe and healthy,..>> view originalEthan J.

The dunks. Of course, everyone wanted to talk about the dunks. Tyler Johnson had one, because that’s what he does, even if somehow, so many are surprised when he does it. Justise Winslow had one, because Winslow seems to do a little of everything already, especially, and so uniquely for a rookie, in the fourth quarter. Josh McRoberts had one, because, well, wait, when was the last time he had one like that?“You’d have to tell me,” a grinning McRoberts said later, after the Heat’s 96-76 victory against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night. “I don’t know. I’ve been trying to get one. … It felt good to finally get one.”But as good as that, and those other dunks, felt, something elselookedeven be..>> view originalJason Fox struggles at right tackle for Dolphins

A huge bowl in the entrance hall of Italkraft’s Doral showroom resembles a sculpture in a modern-art museum. But when Alex Xakoustis, founder and owner of Italkraft, presses a button, the “sculpture” is transformed. The bowl’s upper half rises to the ceiling, revealing a lava-stone hotplate, a refrigerator and a hood for the entire kitchen. Xakoustis says the “bowl” is made of carbon fiber, the same material that is used for Formula One cars.“Very few people have it. This is a kitchen for people that definitely have too much money,” Xakoustis says jokingly as he describes his target group of affluent customers: The kitchen costs $125,000.Alex Xakoustis, born and raised in Greece, says he wan..>> view originalWhat are your #BusGripes?

Last month as it always does, Island Travel & Tours, which offers air charter service between three Florida cities and Cuba, asked its local bank to request a $35,000 wire transfer to pay the Cuban government $194 per passenger for landing fees and for mandatory health insurance for travelers.Although the route of the money is a bit circuitous because of the embargo — the local bank asks a major correspondent bank to transfer the money to a Cuban account in a third country — it’s a procedure that Bill Hauf, president of the charter company, has been following for years. The money, he said, generally arrives in a day or two at most.But this time, he said, four, then five days passed and t..>> view original
