"We're still working through that,'' Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey told Sirius XM radio Thursday night. Jones, entering his second season, tweeted, "OMG" and "Horrible" on Sunday in response to Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL, kiss his boyfriend after being picked. The Dolphins quickly announced that Jones had been fined and suspended until he "undergoes and completes educational training." Jones apologized. The Dolphins' next scheduled OTA is May 27....

The World No. 3 has moved his training base to the south of Vienna, where he is prepping up for the upcoming Generali Austrian Pro Series. Dominic Thiem will take part in that competition along with Dennis Novak, Jurij Rodionov, Sebastian Ofner, Lucas Miedler, Sam Weissborn, Jürgen Melzer, Phillip Oswald, David Pichler, Alex Erler, Lenny Hampel, Max Neuchrist, Sandro Kopp, Lukas Neumayer, Marko Andrejic and Moritz Thiem. How Dominic Thiem is improving his game during the break During a media event with the Austrian Tennis Committee, Dominic Thiem’s father mentioned a few features of the 2019 Indian Wells champion’s training schedule....

The rigid and frequently sadistic coronavirus mask and vaccine mandates went on to disproportionately affect the disabled. Parents of autistic children were forced off airplanes while those who could not wear masks or could not be vaccinated were denied service in public and private spaces. Such people were often forbidden from entering hospitals to be with sick relatives and denied life-saving transplants and other medical treatments all in the name of safety, for their health, apparently....

Many Americans and Europeans believe that a successful war will revive growth by clearing away geopolitical uncertainties. A quick war that topples Saddam Hussein and his cronies; roots out all weapons of mass destruction; causes very few American, allied or civilian casualties; does no damage to oil facilities; triggers no instability elsewhere in the Muslim world, and leads to no additional acts of terrorism, they argue, would produce lower oil prices and give markets and economies a boost in many parts of the world....

We must do all we can to minimize over or under counting votes. We must also recognize that in an imperfect world with imperfect voting mechanisms, the end result will not be a perfect representation of the intent of American voters. Nor will this be our first imperfect election. In 2000, George W. Bush was elected president by the tiniest margin—fewer than 600 votes in the state of Florida. Having been part of the legal team challenging that result, I have absolutely no doubt that more—many more—Floridians intended to vote for Al Gore than for George W....

In a 40-minute presentation, there’s plenty of time for games galore, but it’s worth mentioning that fans shouldn’t hold their breath for Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. Nintendo said it would “mostly” focus on games releasing in early 2022, and while Nintendo recently reaffirmed Breath of the Wild 2’s 2022 release window, an early 2022 release doesn’t seem feasible.

While certain sectors have re-opened in Spain and other parts of the world, competitive tennis is still a few weeks away from resumption. As such, Nadal is limited to the training element of the sport - which leaves him with plenty of time to focus on other things. That’s a luxury rarely afforded to top players, and in a recent interview with BBC Sport’s Sue Barker, Rafael Nadal revealed what he’s been doing in his downtime....

Labor Day came and went with the Dole campaign still floundering in search of a clear message. After the GOP convention, voters knew him better; no longer did a sizable minority think he was an heir to the Dole pineapple fortune, as one GOP poll had discovered earlier that spring. But voters were skeptical of Dole’s tax-cut pledge, and the campaign had done nothing to build momentum since San Diego....

Don’t Starve Together has created one of these luxuries. Respawning is a great asset for this game, especially when the map is so large and making progress can be difficult depending on the game settings. However, there are only a few ways players can respawn, or resurrect, so watching out for key items is crucial. While Don’t Starve Together has created a hard game to challenge players, they also understand the frustration of making so much progress, only to have everything fall apart because they walked a little too long in the dark or waited a little too much to stock up on food....

ORIGINAL (Dec. 16): A scary moment occurred in Thursday night’s Chargers-Chiefs game when Los Angeles tight end Donald Parham Jr. was injured on a first-quarter play in the end zone. He was placed on a stretcher and carted off the field. The Chargers were facing fourth-and-goal from the Kansas City 5 when Justin Herbert threw to Parham in the back of the end zone. Parham appeared to have caught the ball before it fell incomplete....

“It’s hard to imagine a bigger acting challenge than playing Donald Trump,” Billy Ray, the writer-director on the project, said in a statement announcing the upcoming film. “You have to have presence, and a singular kind of dynamism. You also have to have the courage and the will to play Trump’s psychology from the inside out. Oh, and you have to be spectacularly talented and watchable. Not many actors check all those boxes....

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died on the set of the western movie in October when a prop gun being used by Baldwin was fired. The former president sat down with conservative pundit Candace Owens for a long-ranging interview for The Daily Wire. The two discussed a number of topics including Trump potentially issuing a pardon for either Julian Assange or Edward Snowden as well as President Joe Biden and the COVID-19 vaccine....

For the study, researchers looked at 49 literature papers regarding online patient-reported physician ratings and reviews. They implemented a conceptual data quality framework that was designed to analyze the PRW data grouped into four distinct categories: Intrinsic data quality (accuracy, objectivity, believability, reputation)Contextual data quality (value-added, relevancy, timeliness, completeness, appropriate amount of data)Representational data quality (interpretability, ease of understanding, representational consistency, concise representation)Accessibility data quality (accessibility, access security) The researchers found that 53% of the sites contained intrinsic data quality errors (accuracy, objectivity, reputation, and believability), and 61% presented contextual data quality issues (relevance, value addition, timeliness, and completeness)....

The two-minute trailer for the Doctor Strange sequel was first revealed as part of the post-credit scenes in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Anyone who has watched the film would have already seen Doctor Strange struggling with a Multiversal-level threat. But, the trailer is now out on the internet for everyone to see, confirming a May 6, 2022, release date. And that’s not all, because Marvel has also revealed the first official poster for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is equally abstract....

In the past, Los Angeles did not hold back its emotions, famously celebrating in Arizona’s outfield pool in 2013 after clinching a tense race. That was before a pair of World Series defeats and the heightened expectations that sprouted from those near-misses. There is no longer as much satisfaction in merely reaching the postseason. The berth-securing win over the Orioles on Tuesday, then, represented a checkpoint rather than an endpoint....

The team issued a statement Sunday that said Puig's behavior "is a very serious issue to us." The Dodgers said they would continue to educate the 23-year-old Cuban defector and strive to further develop his growth off the field.

Dodgers’ starter Walker Buehler — and everyone at Dodger Stadium and everyone watching from home — thought he had strike three against Braves outfielder Joc Pederson with a perfectly placed cutter on the low-inside corner. Instead, the pitch was called a ball to make it a 1-2 count. It unraveled from there. As it seems to always happen in baseball, Pederson took advantage of his second chance, singling to drive in the runner from third and put runners on the corners, cutting the Dodgers’ lead down to just 2-1....

That’s the focal point of just about every conversation surrounding the team these days. Will they send Matt Kemp away, and if they decide to make that move, how much of the remaining $114 million he’s owed are they willing to eat? What kind of return could they get for a former MVP runner-up who hasn’t looked much like an MVP candidate lately? The Mariners, Red Sox, Indians and Rangers have all been connected, at least loosely, to interest in Kemp....
