    Dolphins don't just think they're going to win close games — they ...
    The Dolphins set a franchise record Sunday by winning a game decided by seven points or fewer for the ninth consecutive time, providing more evidence that last year’s run of close victories was no fluke. Number crunchers say that over a long enough time line, those results even out, that teams lose as many one-score games as they win. But the Dolphins don’t believe that. Clyde Christensen said in the spring that the Dolphins’ formula for success is sustainable, and until they lose a few of tho..

    Tawana Akins has to bury another nephew. Her fourth. After losing 6-year-old King Carter last year when a stray bullet struck him in the chest as he went to buy candy, her family is mourning 24-year-old Ralph Carr, who was shot dead outside his Liberty City apartment as he walked to his car to pick up his girlfriend from work the morning of Sept. 15. “It’s a vicious cycle,” Akins, a Miami-Dade schoolteacher, said Thursday evening. “I’m tired of my family members not being able to grow up and ha..

    Miami Music Trends That Need to Die Now
    We don't have falling leaves or cooler temperatures to announce the arrival of fall, but the days do get shorter, and with that come longer nights and the chance to head out on the town and enjoy the Magic City's world-famous nightlife. Miami is well known as a club kid's mecca, but over the past few years, the tent has widened to include music of all genres. The opening of venues such as the Ground and events like the Listening Den signal Miami's increasing commitment to becoming a metropolitan..

    Newsy Miami Dolphins notes leading up to Friday's practice
    Clearing out the notebook (actually I dispensed with notebooks long ago and now use my phone instead) before the last significant Miami Dolphins practice of the week begins Friday afternoon: The Dolphins linebacker room is an interesting place these days. Yes, obviously, Lawrence Timmons caused a lot of commotion around the team last week when he went AWOL. That was ... interesting. So the Dolphins are getting nothing out of Timmons and they’re getting nothing out of Rey Maualuga, either. Maual..

    John Denney helped shape the future of the NFL Tuesday night ...
    More than a dozen current and former NFL players unamimously decided late Tuesday to keep DeMaurice Smith as the executive director of the NFL Players Association. Dolphins long snapper John Denney was one of the select few — and he explained to the Miami Herald Thursday why he ultimately decided Smith deserves another term. “‘De’ did a self review of his past, mixed with his experience,” Denney said. “He was here with us through the last lockout, so I think that experience is also key going fo..

    Joe Biden endorses Annette Taddeo with robocall to Miami-Dade ...
    Just how important is a win next week for Florida Democrats in the competitive special election for a state Senate seat in Miami-Dade County? Important enough that former Vice President Joe Biden recorded a campaign call for Annette Taddeo in an effort to give a late boost to the Democrat’s candidacy against Republican state Rep. Jose Felix Diaz. Taddeo’s campaign announced Biden’s endorsement — and the phone call he recorded for her — on Thursday afternoon, five days before the District 40 ele..

    Will Hurricane Irma's near miss sink Miami real estate prices?
    After a nerve-racking week of waiting and watching, South Florida was spared the worst of Hurricane Irma’s 185 mph winds. It’s too soon to tell if Irma will have any substantial impact on South Florida real estate. Empirical evidence will take a few months to show whether the storm scared away potential buyers in significant numbers But the images of the storm’s destruction beamed around the world could have a chilling effect on the local real estate market, which relies heavily on foreign and ..

There is Ja’Wuan James, the Miami Dolphins right tackle, doing everything right against Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, two of the premier pass rushers in the NFL. “Probably the best game that he’s played since we’ve been here,” Dolphins coach Adam Gase gushed Thursday.
