After Ryan Fitzpatrick spent much of the preseason as the Dolphins’ rumored starting quarterback, the team named the journeyman its starter for Week 1 after its final preseason game Thursday. Fitzpatrick will start the regular season under center, which will make Josh Rosen, who came by way of a struggling Cardinals team, second in command. Dolphins coach Brian Flores confirmed the news to reporters after their 16-13 win in New Orleans....
Miami suffered a crucial 23-21 Week 17 loss to New England that gave the Patriots the upper hand in tiebreaker scenarios. In the loss, the Dolphins led 14-7 in the third quarter but allowed the Patriots to score 16 unanswered points en route to a 23-21 victory. To add insult to injury, QB Teddy Bridgewater (finger) exited in the third quarter, thrusting rookie Skylar Thompson into game action. Bridgewater’s trending toward missing Sunday’s matchup, setting Thompson up to likely make his second career start....

On Thursday, a Chicago jury found actor Smollett guilty on five of six charges relating to falsely reporting a hate crime. Smollett had alleged he was attacked by two men in 2019 in a racist and homophobic attack. Smollett was subsequently accused of paying brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo $3,500 to help stage the attack. The siblings have been accused by the actor’s defense team of asking for $1 million each to not testify that the alleged attack was a hoax....
Pippen gave a final answer (maybe?) when he was asked by TMZ about former U.S. President Barack Obama’s thoughts on MJ vs. LJ. In an interview with Prince Harry, Obama made it clear where he stands. MORE: MJ ranking Kobe over LeBron only validates LeBron’s greatness “Jordan, though I love LeBron, but I’m a Chicago guy,” Obama said. Pippen responded to TMZ’s question by agreeing with Obama, saying, “I’d pick [Jordan] over LeBron, too!...
First, the details. The road to compromise began in December, when Eaton called Kerkorian and suggested peace talks. Kerkoriarn’s goals then were the same as they’d been throughout the battle: that Chrysler share some of its cash hoard with its shareholders, reduce its anti-takeover provisions and give Kerkorian designees board seats. The two sides made little headway until late January, when Eaton and Kerkorian met in Beverly Hills for dinner....

This catches Nagatoro’s interest, and she convinces him to engage in some light teasing based on the scenarios in the manga. He agrees, but he has no idea what’s really in store. She pulls up a more recent chapter that he hasn’t read and dares him to go through with some “shoe-licking” play. He recoils in shock before she pretends to spill some water on her loafer. In anime fashion, he accidentally knocks a drop of water from the bottle onto one of her loafers....
Starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles as well as other big-name actors, the trailer for Darling generated a lot of buzz upon its release in May; in the first look, viewers see Pugh and Styles play a young couple with a sickeningly perfect life: Their house is grand, their neighborhood is a suburban paradise, and they are madly in love. Things begin to fall apart, however, when Pugh’s character is struck by the (literal) superficiality of her surroundings: Nothing is as it appears, and no one can be trusted....
While Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Daley Blind shared the central defensive responsibilities to begin with, it was Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo who formed the best partnership as the term progressed despite misgivings about their individual qualities. For many supporters, though, there was never any great confidence in the rearguard, with the feeling being that everything could come crashing down without a moment’s notice. Numbers-wise, United came out of the season reasonably well, but it came as a surprise to absolutely nobody that Mourinho’s most decisive move over the summer was the early purchase of Victor Lindelof from Benfica, having been linked with the Swede for much of last season....

Speculation has mounted about Trump making a run of his own at the next presidential election, though he has still not given up his 2020 fight—persisting with claims, despite lacking evidence, that widespread fraud and irregularities assisted Joe Biden’s success. While he is being looked to as a continuing figurehead, talk of one if his children, namely Donald Trump Jr. or Ivanka Trump, taking a shot for the highest office has increased....
There’s one concern, however, making its way around the International Olympic Committee’s decision-makers: the rhetoric of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. It turns out Trump might not be making America’s Olympic bid all that great again. MORE: Sports figures who support Trump for president I asked Casey Wasserman, Chairman of LA2024, about the notion of some of Trump’s policies and public statements — seen in some quarters as xenophobic and jingoistic — doing harm to the possibility of an L....
Trump will hold a rally Thursday night at Drake University’s Knapp Center in Des Moines at 7 p.m. Dozens of Trump officials and supporters will be in Iowa to energize voters, while Democrats campaign to secure votes in the state caucuses, according to The New York Times. Trump won Iowa in his 2016 race against Hillary Clinton, but he lost to Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucuses. While Trump is not running unopposed, his re-election efforts are more focused on Democratic candidates than former congressman Joe Walsh or former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld, who are challenging him for the GOP nomination....
The son of former President Donald Trump also accused corporate America of censoring conservative voices and promoting “freedom-killing” vaccine passports.

As former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial appeared to be nearing an end, the U.S. Senate unravelled in an unexpected vote to call witnesses—setting up the potential for multiple skirmishes that could drag the process out for days, as President Joe Biden has urged lawmakers to focus on his hefty coronavirus relief plan. After initially opposing the Democrats’ push for testimony about what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and whether Trump was responsible for the hundreds of people who stormed the building to disrupt the certification of Biden’s election, Trump’s lawyers appeared to embrace the idea—hinting they could drag the process out....
As America gears up for vaccine distribution, people remain skeptical about the vaccine and fewer than ⅔ of Americans plan on being vaccinated. Those who have read or heard about the development of the vaccine are more likely to plan on being vaccinated, according to an Associated Press-NORC poll released on Wednesday. The most trustworthy source of information on the vaccine are health professionals, the poll found, and 86 percent of the 1,117 people surveyed said they put at least a “moderate amount” of trust in them....
